over-rated hipster schlock

  • No, I would not go back!

the food was bad, the service snobby. i'm probably just jaded, but i am so sick of the whole highbrow homestyle soul-food schtick. this place feels dated and trendy and it's only been open a year or so.

Understated brilliance

Simple, fresh, perfectly and creatively balanced ingredients - I didn't want the Winter Vegetable salad to end. Excellent egg salad sandwich as well, with not-too-vinegary pickles (which they promise to start jarring and selling - huzzah!).

One of the best meals I've had lately, everything my friends and I ordered was terrific, from the Appetizer Tray to every entree and dessert. Don't miss the chicken and dumplings. (Update after another visit: Dumplings weren't that great on the second visit. Portions can be a little small and overpriced.)

More biscuits please

Loved the biscuits and the pork belly. Biscuits came with strawberry jam, honey butter and onion marmalade. Could eat the pork belly every day. Make sure to sprinkle a good amount of the chili vinegar on it. Cuts the richness and plays up the sweet meltiness. Nice space, nice staff.

Kiss my grits!

This place made me want to kiss my deliciously perfect grits...and chicken and dumplings....and deviled eggs, and oh, if only I could make out with that pimento cheese. This is some seriously delicious food served in a beautifully designed, blissfully serene space. Did I mention the dumplings? Served piping hot with the tastiest crispy chicken skin ever, I'll order a double portion next time I visit, because I just cannot possibly get enough. Oh, and strawberry shortcake! Whoa. Perfect.

  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
