    The restaurant is small and cozy, but not in any way stuffy. Music was upbeat and fun and our server was very friendly and helpful with picking menu items. Now the food, the star of the night.. So good! Every bite from start to finish was delightful. We tried 4 of the 5 shareable plates and all were great. Highly recommend the corn ribs and the sweet potato dish!! We shared the pork chop entree and both my husband and I agree it’s one of the best pork chops we’ve ever eaten! We also had the red velvet Oreo cheesecake and it was also amazing! If I could give this restaurant 6 stars, I would. Can’t wait to go back!
