What a treat for a first time diner. My buddy and I love trying new restaurants and this is where we landed at her suggestion for Saturday brunch. It wasn't particularly busy at 2:00. No shocker there. Our waitress was patient, as we had no idea what to order. She suggested vanilla French toast when asked her choice between Chicken & waffles OR Shrimp & grits. You read that correctly.
After careful deliberation, my friend ordered shrimp & grits. I had the chicken & waffles. Friend wasn't impressed with the SGs. Only 4 shrimp and too many peppers to make up for the lack of shrimp. The Tasso gravy was creative.
I liked my chicken and waffles much better. The chicken was Unique in taste and seemed to have been marinated in a pickled flavoring overnight. It was a sweet vinegary taste in the meat. However, the skin was its own combo of spices. Nothing spicy. Waffles, (3 quarters of a waffle.... Thought that was peculiar) were basic.
Friend had the Ballantyne cocktail. VERY good. Tasted like a less sweet daiquiri to me. Great service. Nice venue. Give it a shot.
