What a great dinner. Delano was an excellent server. Friendly, great suggestions, and visited the table at just the right times and intervals. Everything came out quickly and each dish more delicious than the last. Try the fried chicken, shrimp and grits and fried green tomatoes. Lovely spot with exceptional food and service.

Our server was very good and offered some great suggestions. We both enjoyed our meals and were very happy with our choices based on our servers recommendations. Unfortunately it was so noisy we could barely have a conversation.

Took a group of business professionals here for dinner as they are from the north east and the West Coast. They absolutely loved the southern flare of the food and tried many things for the first time. Great as always.

Our server was delightful, paid attention and explained the menu w pride. We enjoyed our food: Watermelon Salad great umami, bbq shrimp very tasty, Shrimp and grits on par w Charleston and crab cake full of crab (has afterburn). The noise level was too much for us. I know this is hip reastaurany thing, it was too loud for my tender ears and soft voice. Regardless, i did like my meal.

The food was outstanding, as was the service. We were seated upstairs and it was quite loud. If you sit outside the noise is minimal. Other than the noise level, it’s great. Some of the best food I’ve ever had. We had the chicken and shrimp and grits.

The menu is tired - I had a difficult time making a selection and did not care for my entree. We were stuck in a far back corner table upstairs. It was so loud I couldn’t even be bothered to have a conversation. Some might enjoy this spot, but I think there are more interesting spots nearby.
