    Great food, great service from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted immediately and lead to our table. Very cool vibe..reminded me of a Greenwich Village NYC spot..felt right at home..Abby was our server, very accommodating, and offered great suggestions. The fish was seasoned perfectly, and my husband ordered the shrimp and grits. I'm not usually a grits girl but...these were off the chary good!! Thanks to the chef, servers, and greeters. We'll be back quite often... Awesome experience
    Forgotten TonicResponded 3 days ago
    Yvette, we love that you felt right at home with us! A little Greenwich Village vibe in the heart of historic Aviles Street—what a compliment! Sounds like Abi took great care of you and your husband, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her and the kitchen team. That shrimp and grits have a way of winning people over, so we’re thrilled they made a fan out of you! Can’t wait to have you back for more awesome experiences. See you soon!
