Great food and great service are a wonderful combination. We started with the charred Brussels sprouts and they were yummy. The roasted garlic cloves are a nice surprise and we enjoyed the fun presentation of a very good appetizer.
I really loved the shrimp and grits. Spicy shrimp combined with pork belly is always an awesome mix. The jalapeño grits are a beautifully spicy upgrade from normal grits. Very tasty. I also thoroughly enjoyed the grilled focaccia although I only ate one slice since I unfortunately offered my wife a bite and she immediately grabbed the other slice off my plate along with some of the perfectly cooked shrimp.
She ordered the short ribs and I did a retaliatory steal. They are absolute delicious. Rich with flavor, they are also served with jalapeño grits which is an interesting combination offsetting the sweetness of the short ribs with a bit of bite from the jalapeño. Very nice. They're served with grilled asparagus which my wife said were perfectly done.
The best part of the meal was the service. The server didn't hem and haw when we asked her what she liked best and she kept the iced tea glasses full. She was witty and funny, but not obtrusive in any way. It's the way service should be.
This is definitely a place we'll head back to.
