One of our new favorite spots. The new healthy menu was worked on with Novant Health to help people start off 2025 keeping their New Year’s resolutions. The my even have big selection of mocktails and no alcoholic drinks. Really tasty stuff. Love the vibe especially in the lounge area! Will be going back this weekend to try the octopus that everyone is raving about— ooh and the American Waygu steak the chef special before it’s gone. Y’all need to try that!

Wonderful southern kitchen restaurant. Food was incredible and Signature Cocktails very unique and fun. But too many to chose just one so would be great if they offered a flight tasting of signature cocktails. As for ambiance, everything was great except the lighting was too bright. We loved the experience so much we recommend the restaurant to a passersby on the sidewalk in our way home!
