| - Made reservations for their NYE dinner. I called that afternoon on our way to the hotel. The gentleman on the other line was friendly and informed us that they only had two reservations available for that evening: 7pm and 9pm. I decided on the 7pm.
We arrived promptly at 7pm for dinner. The hostess greeted us and seated us immediately. The place was not busy at this time. The restaurant is open, modern, and sophisticated. They offer outside seating by the fire pit as well. I wanted to take a peek, but was too cold for me to go outside. Most tables and counters inside have beautiful marble tops. They offered an optional prix fixe NYE menu, but we decided against it.
My SO noticed the Falcons vs. Panthers game playing on the big screen by the bar and asked me if I would be okay with moving to the bar. I didn't see an issue with it. We informed the hostess of our change.
There was only one bartender working throughout our dinner. More and more people approached and sat by the bar as the night progressed. He was friendly, pleasant, and tried his best to keep up with all the customers. There was a bit of a wait time for our drinks and food, but we weren't in a rush so it did not bother us.
We started with drinks: Dewars and water for the SO and rum cobbler for me. The rum cobbler was strong yet sweet. For dinner, we tried the following:
Tuna Poke Nachos - $16
Blackened Sea Scallops with NC grits - $24
Atlantic Salmon with Brussel Sprouts - $22
Key Lime Creme Brûlée - $7
Cinnamon Apple Fritters with Vanilla Ice Cream - $7
Everything was delicious!!! From the Tuna Poke Nachos to the Apple Fritters - the chefs know what they are doing. The flavors were on point and presentation was appealing. I enjoyed the Tuna Poke Nachos, Sea Scallops, and Apple Fritters the most. We gobbled up the tuna nachos within minutes. It came with multiple sauces that all worked perfectly together. I wanted more. My entree came with four big sea scallops. The grits were creamy, cheesy and a bit salty, but not overwhelming. My SO's salmon was juicy and the vinaigrette it came with added the right amount of tart. The fritters were like warm donut holes. Can't go wrong with pairing it with ice cream! The key lime creme brûlée was exactly that. The crumbled graham cracker and toasted strawberry marshmallow on top added a nice touch and flavor.
Prices are pretty reasonable for portions. We were both full after our entrees and were not able to finish both desserts. Service was friendly.
