| - First off, the food here is really good. It's great to eat somewhere that the food is really the priority. You can tell that the chef really loves (is Passionate!), about food.
Second; the description of this restaurant shows pricing as $$, but I really disagree with that. I'd say it is a solid $$$. The cheapest entree was the vegetarian selection, at $18, and the most expensive was the bison strip steak at $48. Most fell about $30. To me, that is a $$$.
Thirdly; I think some people are being a bit dramatic about the location. It's really not that hard to find at all. I mean, it's Ft. Mill, not the ends of the earth. Use a navigator if you need to. I knew where this was, but I used the navigator on my phone, just to see if it would find it, and it did, no problem.
The ambience: It's really small (I would suggest reservations), but I love the decor. It's pretty cool, and very cozy (expect to be sitting very close to your neighbor - I generally dislike this kind of a set up, but this place is so small that they have no choice). It gets really loud in there, too. There were times we couldn't hear each other talking.
The food: was excellent. You can tell that great care and love is taken with the food. The best we had was the calamari appetizer. It was a generous portion of the most delicious light olive oil sauce with chopped jalepenos. It was one of the best preperations of calamari that I've ever had. I could have just had this for my meal. For main courses, we had the pork chops and the striped bass. The pork chop (as others have said), is huge. I think it must have been at least an inch thick. I don't know how they cooked it so perfectly, when it was so thick! This entree could most definitely feed 2 people. The bass had an asian twist, served over noodles. It was good, but not as exciting as the pork chop. The portions were so large that we didn't have room to try any dessert! Next time I would just order one appetizer and one entree to split. It would save money, and the portions would allow this. One things that I thought kind of strange was that they had no tea; not sweetened nor unsweetened. It seems like a pretty standard drink to have, no?
