| - Went here to celebrate a friend's b'day. If I remember correctly this was their official opening day after a week or so of a soft launch. I opted for a glass of red wine but after looking at the group's interesting and tasty cocktails, I would recommend opting for a cocktail rather than a glass of wine or beer.
We shared several plates including the hush puppies, red potato salad, fluffernutter, lobster rolls, mac & cheese, poke and the beignets.
Everything tasted great but I thought the lobster rolls and the poke stood out as they were fresh and seasoned well...I also love seafood, especially seafood done right. I'm not a huge potato salad fan to begin with and don't usually get very excited about mac & cheese unless it's done exceptionally well and has some extra fixins which I didn't feel like this had. I think the fluffernutter should be along side with the other desserts but it sits with the other small plates. I thought the flufernutter was a better dessert option than the beignets, although the fluffernutter could have used more peanut butter and was marshmallow - the bread, tasty as it was, overwhelmed the dish.
I did contemplate giving it 4 stars but I thought that it was too pricey for what you get. Although we got seven plates to share between 5 people, they were very tiny and came with a hefty price tag. All in all, I think it's a great place for a drink and a couple appetizers before heading out for a dinner at a more reasonably priced establishment.
