Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for creative cocktails

Farm to fork creative southern cuisine. Handcrafted cocktails and fabulous wine list. We offer seating by reservation for all seats in the restaurant including seats at our bar, indoor dining room, and our outdoor porch which is a wonderful place to sit during all seasons (since porch sitting is a true Southport thing to do).

If you’re looking for true farm/sea to table this is the restaurant for you! The food here is so good and unique. Every dish comes to you looking great and tastes even better. Ashley is an amazing chef that got my husband to eat collards! When you dine there you’re like family having a meal at their home. So welcoming!
