Service, ambiance and selection of food were outstanding. 2 words... Jalapeño Grits!! I'm from the south and these just may be the tastiest gritsI've ever had. The art that decorated the wall mesmerized me. Definitely the made the best decision choosing this place forbrunch and interested in coming back for a dinner experience.
