    Our food was absolutely incredible. For the first course we had the shrimp, mussels, and meatballs. All were cooked and seasoned to perfection. For my entree I got the beef short ribs and my friends both got the ravioli. The short ribs were so tender and paired perfectly with the mashed potatoes and miso sauce. Both of my friends finished their ravioli and had rave reviews. We finished off with the Sweet Home Carolina dessert, which was very rich and tasted a lot like a snickers bar. Our server, Basil, was very attentive and knowledgeable. We will definitely be coming back!

    Fantastic meal! Great ambience and service! We started with the Ground Duck Flatbread and both of us agreed that we should cancel the rest of our order and just get two of those. Amazing combination of flavors. Our entrees did not disappoint. I had Grouper and my partner had steak. Both were cooked perfectly. Our waitress was wonderful and suggested drinks for us as well as kept our water glasses full. She was attentive without being in our face. We will definitely go again! They don’t have parking but there is a large parking garage at the same corner.
