Sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. The lights are very dim inside and it gives off a suave, intimate dining experience, especially on a date. The menu is quite unique...anything from a good cut of beef to an interesting clever seared salmon dish to traditional Carolina shrimp & grits. Good wine selection, and ample bar space. Make a reservation for sure if it is a weekend! Staff is pleasant and accommodating. Good Blakeney/Ballantyne experience.
