Reviews
The grill work shows discipline. Those crosshatch marks are not decoration; they are a statement of intent. The steak arrives confident, properly rested, and clearly aware it will be judged. The sauce on the side behaves like a cooperative witness; helpful, not overpowering, ready when called. Vegetables are not an afterthought here; they show up like supporting characters who know their cues.
The steak comes from the kitchen quickly! And Claudia delivers it with a smile.
Dessert understands timing. The pie is warm, the ice cream knows it is on borrowed time, and the powdered sugar falls like fresh snow on a solved case. It is indulgent without being reckless, which is harder than it sounds.
Detective tips:
• Come hungry; the portions assume you skipped lunch on purpose.
• Ask about the grill cuts; the kitchen likes informed questions.
• Sit in a booth if you plan to stay awhile; they encourage long thoughts.
BEWARE OF…
• Ignoring dessert; it will remember.
• Ordering too fast; the menu rewards patience.
• Thinking this is just another neighborhood grill. It is special.
The inside is what I would call southern modern- pretty on the nose- with the light shining through plants and deep wood around you- a nice experience so long as you don’t come in when it’s slow and staff decides to seat the only customers right by the kitchen entrance in a corner.
What to avoid, What to Try:
The brisket: tastes straight out of a frozen meal package- leathery and dry while its mashed sweet potatoes clashed with a mushy salty squash succotash with a rotten bitter flavor I wish I can forget ever trying a bite of.
The seafood: is the only thing I’d order from here, the scallops, shrimp, and salmon- it’s just a hit or miss what you pair or the type of dish you get with those ingredient.
The scallops: only gives you 4 of them which is sad since it’s only dish with them and they were great- but I’m not paying $30 for sausage added on for protein for a dish simply called “scallops.” It was the popular favorite from everything everyone tried, but even then the rice pirloo it came with was watery which made it absorb the pepper salty notes of the sausage, more of the mystery sweet flavor that seemed to be on every entree, which all clashed with the lemon emulsion and spinach they put in it- edible but I found myself chasing each bite with my drink to avoid the after taste of the flavors clashing. The blackened catfish: was cooked well but had a bitter peppery taste clashing with the remoulade (which was excellent). The shrimp and grits are not what you will often get in North Carolina as your standard- tomato jam is not easy to pull off.
Deserts:
The “brownie cake”isn’t really a brownie or a cake- more of a oddly textured chocolate fudge in a muffin shape. The banana bread pudding at first I thought was great but with each bite I realized what just bread with the hint of banana- I had eaten half way before my suspicion of our take out this time being fully premaid was pretty much confirmed by a slimy green section that once was banana slices. The ice cream- was excellent- chocolate that had a malty note which is a preference for some.
For lunch, the burgers were pretty good and the only thing I ended up having worth the price I paid from here- that and the chicken salad wrap. It’s unfortunate that when we ordered, staff was visibly upset and continued to push the small plates on us which I understand but came off a bit too thick on top of visible disappointment as the lower priced items were chosen.
Overall, this place seems to rely on business meals- it has the fancy buzzword menu to intrigue that type of client. Maybe worth a try as an individual if you see an item you really want to try- but if you already love that meal elsewhere- this place likely will not top it.
