  • Tim and I wandered in on a weeknight not really knowing what to expect and of course having no reservations. However, we were seated immediately. Based on where we were seated, we will not return without reservations. Be warned...this is a small space and some of the tables are not optimal! So, we were seated in the lower section in a row of 2 top tables. This is less than optimal because the tables are so painfully close together. (I was reminded of being at restaurants in Germany where you are just straight-up seated at tables with total strangers... not really my preference especially when out on date night with my S.O.!) Seriously, being practically on top of our neighbors, we felt awkward as we could hear their entire conversation & found ourselves to be very quiet as we realized the same was true in reverse. So enough of that, on to the food & service. Our service was pretty good... no complaints on service except for 1 small critique about how the server described the small plates. I think the server was overselling when she described the small plates as designed to share between 2- 3 people... maybe that works for some but not not all small plates. When we were there, they had a cheese plate and a diver scallop selection. The cheese plate was fine for sharing but the scallop was not. 1 small scallop split 2 or 3 ways is not really my idea of an adequate starter, even if it was cooked perfectly... especially when the price point for that 1 small plate was somewhere in the $10-12 range from what I recall. (The scallop was sitting in some micro greens with a little balsamic, but no other garnishment on it.) My recommendation is to order at least 1 small plate for everyone in your party. Or skip those and go for soup & salad. So on to the entrees. The night we were there, they did not have many options that appealed to Tim so he ordered the fried chicken dish. Definitely not what he would typically go for since he's a red-meat sort of guy...but it turned out to be fabulous! It was seasoned & cooked perfectly and the veggies that accompanied it were very tasty. It was served with fresh Greenbeans and some of of potato-thing... almost sort of a deconstructed potato salad is how it appeared to me. I ordered the NC Shrimp which was served with fresh local veggies. It was totally delicious! I would definitely order that again because it was so flavorful and just delightful. I can't stress enough how good this dish was...can I give it more than 5 stars?? (Just writing this review has me craving it!) We also had a bottle of white wine which was the perfect accompaniment to our meal. We decided to skip dessert because nothing jumped out at us on this visit. But for around $100 (before tip) we had an excellent meal & bottle of wine in a wonderful establishment. I would have given it 5 stars had we not been squished together with our neighboring table. We definitely plan to go back but next time we will make a reservation and request a different table. I am a big fan of this chef and the whole farm-to-fork concept. I highly recommend this restaurant!!
