Whoa. This place.
I'm going to keep this one short & sweet because it doesn't need a lot of fluff.
Great food.
Great service.
Great atmosphere.
We were a group of 8 out for my sister's birthday and had a reservation for 8:45pm. 2 showed up an hour late - we felt so bad - and not once did we have our waiter or hostess come up to us and ask us a question about where they were or if they could use the table for 2. Little things like that make all the difference.
Food: A limited menu, my preference (don't make me choose!) but we wanted everything on the menu! Unfortunately with a later dinner, a few of the night's specials were already gone.
The great thing is we didn't have to worry about the portions since they adjust the plates for the table size.
We had:
-Oysters
-Bread and butter
-Pickle plate
-Fried cauliflower & clam sauce *** SO GOOD
-Crispy pig ear and green bean salad
-Sweetbreads
-Cumbrae's Beef & Street Corn Succotash ***insanely delicious!
Drink:
-Goodnight Rose * must have
Service:
-We had the greatest waitress. She was so sweet and helpful with the menu. We had lots of service constantly clearing our table, refilling our water, without it feeling overbearing.
Atmosphere:
-A great small, cozy restaurant where you could dress up for a dinner for two or come casual with friends.
I'll be back, that's for sure. I'm a sucker for amazing service & great food.
