I celebrated my birthday here and we knew we wanted to try their tasting menu, so our anniversary was the next major occasion for us to celebrate. The food is Southern inspired but with lots of local and seasonal ingredients. Along with the tasty food conceived by Executive Chef Nelson Miller they have a great cocktail list courtesy of bar manager Amber. They took great care of us this evening with a delicious tasting menu with wine pairing and I know we will be back!
