- Andre RibeiroMay 12, 2018There is a reason why Nina Compton won the James Beard Best Chef (south) this year. The pork tenderloin was insane, tuna tartare delicious and the drinks incredible.
Upvoted Mar 16 - Josh MateoOctober 19, 2015This was easily one of the best meals I've ever experienced. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and really prepared us for what was being served. Definitely try the Hamchi to start the table.
Renae MasonSeptember 18, 2017Everything we ate here was incredible. Loved the goat cocktail, pigs ears, tuna tartare with banana crisps, and con chicken dish. Go with a small group of friends and share the smaller dishes!
