It's a cool space. I loved the booths and the general aesthetic of the place. It's a fine place to hang out, but in terms of a memorable dinner, this missed the mark by a long shot. We had a number of small plates: the Brussels sprouts, mac & cheese, Japanese eggplant and shrimp & grits. The Brussels were good but not particularly innovative or inspiring (and why are they serving Brussels sprouts in July?). Everything else was subpar. The mac & cheese was watery and tasteless, the eggplant was fried in oil that wasn't hot enough so was terribly soggy and though I didn't try the shrimp & grits my dining companion didn't even finish it.
And why did the bartender have an accent at the beginning of the night but not at the end?
