There's a reason why this restaurant is always voted #1. We had the best meal of our entire lives at this spot and it's the one place we always recommend. It doesn't matter what you get on the menu... close your eyes and point at something... doesn't matter - it will be amazing. Locally sourced, organic, and farm-to-table, you will be talking about this place for years to come.

Great place for a modern twist on Southern favorites. We once asked if they really had moonshine - the waiter gave us the "shhhh" sign, looked around, walked away for a few minutes...then came back and took us down into a wine cellar where we were able to try their unique namesake - moonshine!
