My Fiancé and I had dinner here celebrating our 10th anniversary this past thursday. We showed up slightly early for our reservation, they took us immediately. Sat us in a private intimate booth towards the back of the dining room. We ordered a bottle of wine (Freakshow). presented perfectly by our server Anna. (hopefully i spelled it correctly) who was amazing! She described the daily features gracefully and gave us time to look over the menu. We ordered the shrimp and grits appetizer. The grits were amazing... local, water ground, silky and seasoned perfectly. The shrimp were cooked proper and super hot. and the brown butter bbq was unlike any traditional bbq..so much better. The Chef came out to meet with us and recommended the Wahoo Oscar feature. Which we ended up ordering along with the 14oz Ribeye. The Wahoo was fresh as could be and cooked perfectly. Tasted like the ocean. Topped with a generous portion of lobster, a beautiful satin bernaise and crispy tempura asparagus, served over wild rice. That dish SLAMMED. The ribeye was charred beautifully and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The mashed potatoes were perfectly seasoned and had a nice hint of sour cream. Management touched our table a few times and made us feel welcomed and well taken care of. Everything was perfect. Right down to the espresso creme brulee with chocolate covered espresso beans. Total experience was 11 out of 10. We can't wait to go back! Thank you for being awesome!

Food and service were outstanding! Recommend the fried green tomatoes, the blackberry burger and the shrimp and scallop pasta along with the key lime pie! All we're excellent. We will be returning!

For lunch Chelsea turned out to be a wonderful choice. I had braised short ribs with maple glazed brussel sprouts, and grits with a “Kinship of 1912” cocktail.
The cocktail was phenomenal made with gin and lavender bitters.
The short ribs were so delicious and our sweet waitress ,Katie brought me a little cup of au jus which only added to the depth of flavor. My friend enjoyed her dish also of Shrimp and Scallop Fresca.
We had a great lunch!

Vegetable risotto is always my go to dish. My husband loves the candied bacon ribeye steak. Unfortunately, I can't comment on atmosphere as we did order carry out. But we love to order from here at least once, every time we visit the area.

Not a single negative about this place. Food and service were excellent. Showed up early for our reservation and were accommodated after a short wait at the bar.

Food was served hot, and to expectations. Highly recommend.
