We loved this place when it was Crawford Cookshop, so we had high expectations for its replacement. Wow! Just wow… the restaurant is gorgeous, the service was so friendly, and the food and cocktails were outstanding. Charred Brussels and Bulgogi to start. Fish tacos and Bavette steak for entrees. Affogato to finish. Every single thing was fantastic.

What a fun brunch place! A bit noisy, but the food was creative and tasty. The grilled romaine salad was crunchy, flavorful and packed with surprising ingredients like pineapple. Hubby enjoyed his chorizo and scrambled egg sandwich but really loved the accompanying tater tots. My fav was the crispy salmon, shrimp and calamari in tomato coconut sauce. Seafood was cooked perfectly and those shrimp were so Amazing! The sushi rice and tender, almost sweet collards added to the unique taste. Will go back for that dish again.

I ordered the iced banana pudding latte and tropical shrimp and grits. The iced latte was excellent. I ordered two. The shrimp and grits definitely fell flat for me. The consistency of the grits was not good and the dish itself was not hot or even warm. The flavors were there but the presentation could be better (hot, creamy consistency of grits, etc.)

Great food! Service was good but they rush you to turn the tables. Can’t really take your time and enjoy a few beverages before your meal. They asked us to leave due to another reservation.

Food is great. Atmosphere is also great. I’ll def be back. However, we had “large party gratuity” added to a party of 5, which turned into a party of 4. Not sure when 5 became a large party.

Great service, drinks and great food. The waitress was very helpful with lots of suggestions and very attentive. The sangria was so delicious and refreshing. We ordered several small plates and all were wonderful.
