Lovely place and the ambiance and servers are wonderful. We went for brunch and our server was a delight and super helpful! The drinks were great, but my food was unfortunately not. I had the shrimp and grits which was covered in sauce and so wet that the grits lost texture and the flavor was drowned out. That said, my friend had the egg white scramble which was fine. We will be back, but I’ll be trying a different dish.
