I was blown away the first time I ate here, but am a bit more reserved after the second.
The fried chicken and waffles for two is indeed amazing. The atmosphere is good, and I love some of the bar snacks, particularly the roasted shishito peppers, which taste like a light version of delicious salty-sweet-spicy-greasy Chinese food.
After trying the chicken and waffles I was expecting the rest of the menu to be more simple and down-to-earth. To me, that dish goes for harmony in flavours rather than novelty. But I think it's a novelty compared to the rest of the menu. My friends and I ordered a stack of small plates, and all I remember is a blur of strange, creamy gnocchi, smears of hazelnut puree, drips of sauces and probably the least southern tasting shrimp and grits I've ever had. They were like mini entrees (perhaps 2/3rd size) rather than dishes to combine and share.
I wanted to give 4 stars based on my first visit, but I also don't really want to go back.
