Wonderful place, the food was amazing! We got the short ribs and grilled shrimp and both were really good. I did think the short ribs weren’t very filling compared to the shrimp though. The presentation was really good and the atmosphere was wonderful. I also really enjoyed the drinks. I would totally go again, just would probably eat at the speakeasy below for the quieter more intimate vibes.

The Shrimp and Grits was awesome! I selected the restaurant because they serve Milk & Honey entrees. Would like to have seen more than 3 on the menu.
