    The food is absolutely fantastic! Their chicken just cannot be beat. Their Brussels sprouts are outrageously delicious. Yes, these Brussels are that good. The deep fry them and then glaze them in a spiced honey glaze. I honestly could just sit there and eat those all evening. The service is top notch. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the food. Our food came out quickly and was on point. This was our second time there and will be going back for sure.

    Overall we enjoyed our meal (second visit for some of us). We specifically visited on Tuesday to take advantage of the half price Champagne and $1 oysters. It was unfortunate that by 8pm they had run out of oysters (especially as it was not that busy)....if you are going to have such a promotion you need to ensure customers can take advantage of it. The BBQ was all tasty and sides were good (one of my fellow diners commented that the sweet potato fries were amongst the best she's had). The drinks were also fun...from the cocktails to the whiskey flights! I'm sure we will be back....just hoping they have ample supply of oysters next time!

    Food was amazing. Chef Lamar had a wonderful selection available for the soft opening. We had the beef tartare with chicken skins (highly recommend), the fried green tomato with burrata, the half chicken, and salmon. We each had two cocktails, one of which had fat washed mezcal to mellow out the after sting. My only note is we realized in hindsight our drinks were not that strong. Overall, amazing experience!
