    Great selection of wine and wonderful service! Ask Mike to help you select a perfect wine and he will be happy to do so. The Shrimp and grit dish is delicious!

    Amazing food and service. The open face crepe was to die for! The cheese plates and wine selection is the best in town.

    Pork chop and mashed taters were wonderful. The crab cake is supremely disappointing and is ONE tiny cake for $18!! Rip off. Next time I want to try mussels and pork belly and scallops.

    They blast the AC so u might want to bring a jacket. Overall it's a very good restaurant with a good selection of cheeses and fresh seafood.

    Don't come on Sunday. They are out of alot of stuff. Food purveyors don't deliver on Sundays. Sad. They were out of short ribs, mussels and were no longer doing pork belly

    Good wine selection. Food is frequently bland and relatively tasteless. Overpriced for dish size.
