    We made a reservation 2 days before, and were promptly seated on arrival. At 9:30 am the place was already pretty busy. We had to wait on our server to get to us but nothing offensively long. I ordered shrimp and grits, and my husband ordered the shrimp and crab omelette. We got garlic bread and smoked salmon tostini’s to share. The bread and tostini’s and my entree were great! My husband’s omelette was little dry (the pesto in the omelette isn’t enough for him, he’s a saucy guy). We requested hollandaise sauce to go with it, and it was better but overall a 6.5/10 for that dish. I ordered a caramel iced cappuccino, but didn’t get any caramel in it. Overall we really enjoyed the experience, and we’re definitely coming back to try some more options out, a lot of things on the menu looked promising!
