Service was great! Our server was Ryan and he was attentive but didn't hover and answered a multitude of questions from our group. Our meals were also good, but due to ordering & delivery issues a few things were not available. Will go back again for another try.

Cozy and inviting on the inside. Korean Fried Cauliflower is amazing. Shrimp and grits was a little skimpy on the shrimp (3), but tasty and pretty satisfying nonetheless. Wait staff was polite and attentive.
