| - Great spot for dinner. They are on Open Table so easy to reserve ahead of time or for a weekend. First of all, if you are a cocktail drinker, they have an awesome assortment and make some creative concoctions. The menu is small, but detailed and creative. They have some great starters, including the charred octopus with chorizo and fingerling potatoes (DELICIOUS), pretzel brioche which comes with 3 butters, and the deviled eggs, all of which are fantastic. The 3 pretzel butters were pumpkin butter, a mustard seed butter and a cheerwine. They were each tasty in their own right, served atop of the pretzel bread which is keenly sprinkled with sea salt (excellent decision).
For our meals, we tried the catch of the day (a snapper), the duck and the sticky pork shank with peanuts and a chili sorghum glaze. The meat was so tender and fall of the bone delicious. For sides, we tried the esquites (warm corn salad) and the broccoli. To my surprise, the broccoli is served as one large piece, charred and covered with harissa, goat cheese and mustard. SO delicious.
For dessert, we HAD to dry the one lb donut, as it's been on my Charlotte Bucket List. We split it among 4 of us after all having apps and entrees and finished it. It is delicious, with a custard type cream in the middle, and covered with heath bar pieces. I could definitely eat more of that in the future :)
Service is great and the atmosphere is romantic.
