    Skip the first glass of wine and get something from their cocktail menu. They use a lot of the same seasonal ingredients and creativity as the dinner menu. Really tasty results.

    Possibly one of the best dinners I have ever had. Menu is different every day as they use fresh ingredients for everything. All of it is a winner however.

    Make weekend reservations far in advance! The food and service here are worth it! Try the snapper and the Fried okra! Of course it's tomato salad season! Come and get them before they're gone!!!

    Had a "flight" of vegetarian sides as an entree, which turned out terrible - could easily tell something was missing in all of them. The appetizer mushroom risotto was outstanding, however.

    Budget for $100/person including drinks and taxes. Chris Hastings is worth every penny though.

    Not all that impressed. Had heard a lot of great things about this place. Menu limited and nothing spectacular. Worth checking out once but probably wouldn't return.
