| - This place is perfect if you want to take someone out and show them some cuisine that's bound to impress. I work in the area and heard it was new, open for dinner only and wanted to try it out, so I took my boyfriend here for a date night and immediately when I walked in, the atmosphere was so relaxing, yet intriguing. It almost felt intimate. The place used to be a gross ass China Buffet and it's completely flipped into a superior dining atmosphere. As soon as I walked in, the hostesses were extremely kind and professional.
Amy was our server and she was very, very helpful and knew the menu very well. Anything she was unsure of that we asked about, she made sure to find us the correct answer. She helped us out with the menu and we started out with the Charcuterie board (thankfully she helped us to correctly pronounce it). I've had meat and cheese boards before (I'm a huge Postino's fan), but this board was it's own kind. They various meats and cheeses were laid out and listed on the menu and most of it was all made in-house. Extremely impressive. My only critique to this dish was that the bread was a little too thick and toasted for my spreading preference, but everything on that board was devoured. Half the items I never tried, so I felt like the Sow educated me a little and helped me to explore my pallet.
I've never seen a menu like this before and I'm told that it's always changing. I'd highly recommend this place to my friends that have more sophisticated and open minded pallets than myself. I ordered the chili rubbed tuna. The fish was perfectly seasoned and seared and I couldn't help but get a shred of the roasted tomato in every bite of the green chile grits. You could taste the chile rub on the tuna in every bite. The combination was something I'd never think of. My boyfriend got the blackened red fish and I can't speak for him, but his plate was completely cleaned.
Overall, the place was stellar! We loved our server, Amy, and we'll be going back again sometime to check out their Chef's menu tasting for only $25. What a great experience in such a wonderful location! Highly recommend this place if you're open to trying new things!
