It was very elegant, the view at night was gorgeous, the presentation and service was amazing 10/10. Food did take a little longer than expected but when it came we devoured our plates. The pork chops are very juicy with a sweet light sauce on top very delicious. The burger is also a good option with the caramelized onions. The only pictures we took of the food was the Caesar salad which was also decent.

We got the omnivore tasting menu. One of our party had a significant food allergy. The staff and kitchen were great, substituting from the vegan menu in the case of one item, and steering us clear of one choice. The food is creative and fun, not pretentious. Pig jowl on grits with red eye gravy and huckle berries was a particularly good course. A dessert made with cranberry beans and huckleberries was really tasty also. Fun vibe in the restaurant.
