We came for the NYE four course dinner, and it wasn’t what I expected given the good reviews. It’s the small things for me, like lackluster presentation, forgetting to bring a spoon for soup and then bringing the wrong type of spoon, not cutting salad veggies uniformly, gristle in the tartar, caramel popcorn that looked straight from the 7-11, etc. Of all the courses, only the main entree met my expectations for the price from a quality and taste perspective.
Service was good though and I liked the heated tent. I’d be willing to come back to try their regular menu.

Absolutely delicious food! Every morsel from our small plates, mains and dessert were perfect. Whitney was wonderful and made great suggestions. The atmosphere is casual and fun and very unpretentious. The outdoor space is amazing and would be so fun with family or friends. This is our new go to restaurant when we want an amazing meal without all the stuffiness most 5 star restaurants possess.

Editing to add that I recently had brunch here and it was great as well.
French Toast, Shrimp & Grits and the Pear cocktail were our favs.
“Idle Hands” is the best cocktail I’ve had in a while. Food was good & service was great.
The ramen was really good I’d definitely order that again. The Tiger Shrimp pasta was pretty good, but I feel like there’s probably better options to pick from. Overall, we would definitely come back. So many interesting things on the menu. We’d like to try more of them. Love that it’s farm to table/local/fresh.

I have done so many different reviews in different places for this restaurant. The Food is absolutely amazing, good beer list, great craft cocktails.
The outdoor area is updated (2024) and spectacular.
They also have a make your own mimosa bar station right at your table on Sundays for 11:00 to 2:00 for brunch. I suggest brunch and going back for dinner.
Dinner is absolutely amazing.
They have rotating menus for the seasons!
Don’t forget to make a reservation at this place is not huge by any means but extremely cozy and chic.
And the special wine socials and events are educational and extraordinary!

We have now been for both brunch as well as dinner, and both have been phenomenal. The brunch was so good we ordered the Johnny cakes with the greens having the perfect amount of seasoning. I had the fried green tomato blt, which my partner was practically fighting over because it was so good. Dinner, we had the pasta, chicken, and ramen, all of which were very good!

Made a reservation during restaurant week for 5. Food was beautifully prepared and the drinks were well made. The only complaints were the scallops tasted burnt and when it was raised to the waiter there was no offer to replace the dish. The Carmel sauce for the peach kouchen tasted burnt as well. The cake was very dry and in comparison to the chocolate cake it was lackluster. Given that this was restaurant week on a Saturday evening, it was really busy. Our table was outside in what appeared to be a walk way without any fans or umbrellas like the other outside seats. There were flies everywhere because of it. I will not be coming back for their regular service.

I took my wife and mother for their birthday dinner. We were not disappointed. We all had different dishes that were excellent. We ordered the four course special for $45. Well worth the money. My wife had the Smoked Butter Chicken, my mom had the Carolina Catch (flounder) and I had the Pork Schnitzel. All were cooked to perfection and were excellent!
Side note: If you like sweet and spicy, try the Korean Drumettes as an appetizer. For dessert, the berry cobbler was a hit. I’d skip the bread pudding, it’s a little dry. The service was great.
This is not your ho hum restaurant. The dishes are creative and unique. If you haven’t eaten here before, your missing out!!

Came for restaurant week with some girlfriends and had a great experience overall. We wanted to try all the cocktails and mostly did between the 4 of us. The Fig Thyme Martini and the Fireside Chat were everyone’s favorites. The small plates were all outstanding but the entrees were not as good. Still good, but not the same as the small plates. Dessert was underwhelming but it’s restaurant week so I’ll give them a pass. Overall, great value for the food we got and a good time.

I picked up my mom from CLT and I wanted a quaint little farm to table place… This was absolutely perfect. We sat outside in the back. They have a very unique decor inside and fun patio/outdoor entertainment area.
The food and drinks were incredible.
My mom got the seasonal dumplings 6 total, 3 of each type with a blonde local beer. Delicious!
I got the seasonal winter gnocchi in a light sauce with the duck which is probably the best gnocchi I’ve ever had. Then, got the black pepper butter cream cake and it was good but more dense than expected. The most recommended and popular desert is the sticky toffee cake though.

Lovely. That is the word I think best describes this jewel. Ambiance is lovely, food is lovely, drinks are lovely, staff is lovely you get the drift.
It’s great having a place where the chef said I’m going “try that in a small town” (My joke not the restaurants) and it pays off for us so much wonderful things to try you really can’t get anywhere else around here. The menu is seasonal so don’t get too attached to something. I think that is a great trade off for fresh food.
The drinks are great, fun and playful. The staff is top notch, helping each other and insuring every experience is an amazing one. Making this lovely spot a must visit for a you guessed Lovely time.
