So many musts to have- dirt candy, kabocha squash, carolina tostones, the halibut, creekstone beef. We are now getting a gift certificate for them and Christmas and we are babysitting.

Going to a nice dinner is always soured by bad service. Also? ask for their liquor price before ordering?my date ordered an Angel?s Envy old fashioned and was charged $27! Comical since abottle of Angel?s is like $50. Overall was SO excited to try out this restaurant after going to UNC a few years ago. The pastaswere lovely (very small), but we won?t be returning for weirdly overpriced cocktails, small portions, and to have a grumpywaitress ruin a date with cold service.

Each dish was a small sample, but enough to be filling and very delicious. I had foods I never would have ordered on my own, liketuna tartare, but I enjoyed everything. Servers were very attentive.
