“The restaurant partners with area purveyors and farmers to provide a menu heavy on fresh, seasonal ingredients while highlighting Southern favorites like shrimp and grits, duck with dumplings, and baked pimento cheese,” USA Today wrote. “The sophisticated dining space features an expansive bar and lounge area serving a curated list of craft cocktails and a wine list focused on organic and sustainable varieties.”
