I really like the wine flight choices. I enjoyed the white wine flight called Hyde Park. The brussel sprouts were just a little too crispy but I did like corn salsa that comes with it. The shrimp and grits were delicious. I just wish a few more pieces of shrimp were in the dish. Rouper our waiter was very friendly and accommodating.
