    Love love love the vibes! So relaxed, removed, intimate and approachable. Don’t let the casual vibes fool you—the service here is exceptional. Wonderfully welcoming, friendly, with an attention to detail that is worthy of a Michelin star but without any of the fuss. The menu variety is impressive, both on the food and the cocktail side of things. We will be back!

    We when here before seeing a show at Belk Theater. We both had the roasted chicken and it was really good. We also had the succotash and grids (the sides are à la carte), they are a nice size for a couple to share. Everything was really good and it was nice that we did not have to go back outside to get to the show

    We were lucky to get a last minute reservation for bar seats. Which was great, because Erica was an amazing bartender and we enjoyed watching her create incredible cocktails and chatted away. She gave us dessert on the house for being her fave customers that night. The food was incredible. I loved the whole experience!
