This is a new Michael Simon restaurant and I love it. I have anxiously awaiting it's opening and it did not disappoint! I went as a party of 1 and was seated in 5 minutes. This was extremely fast, expect to wait for if you are not eating alone. Also be prepared to sit at long pinic like tables. The idea of the restaurant is to have a backyard like feel so you will absolutely be mixed in with others. With that being said it gives you an opportunity to interact with others. You don't have to worry about someone on their phone the whole time you are out. Lol
I had the fatty cut of the brisket and let me tell you, it changed my life! The meat is served without sauce and it has a good bit of bark on it as well as a smoke ring. Non-foolish translation, they smoked it low and slow for a long time. I didn't need a knife, the meat pulled apart. I was halfway through before I remembered there was bbq sauce on the table. The broccoli salad was a nice side. At this time you cannot order takeout has they run out of food daily and are only serving the people presently in the restaurant, but that does not mean you can't take home what you don't eat. Please, please try the key lime pudding! You won't have space left, but it's worth trying and taking the rest home. The server told me all the desserts were made with love. I guess that's the secret ingredient I have been missing in every cheesecake/mousse/pudding I have ever had. This was a baby mason jar of heaven!
Tips: get different oder from people in your party and share. Absolutely try the brisket and the key lime puddling! Expect to wait to be seated.
