The Tomahawk Pork Chop was excellent, and the Shrimp & Grits, to die for. What a fantastic combination of shrimp, sausage, grits and MMMM! Will definitely be back for more.

Had lunch after the NC Museum of Art. Great beer selection and appetizers. Not too hot on the spices (we don't like the hotness to take away from the overall flavor). Shrimp with the Korma sauce was excellent and the Naan was just slightly crispy. All in all, an excellent meal.
