    Worst shrimp and grits I’ve ever had. Too spicy to enjoy. Had more topping than actual shrimp or grits.

    Literally the best specialty burger I’ve ever had (the house burger!). Service was poised and polite as well. I loved the atmosphere too. Will be going back!

    AMBIANCE: Quick little post movie date night. The weather was gorgeous so we sat outside which was lovely. Nice patio, good music, fire pit they unfortunately had a man with a dog. Didn’t think this was the type of restaurant that allowed Jon service animals. If I wanted to eat with animals I’d just go to a brewery to eat average food for 1/4 the price! FOOD: Ordered truffle fries (soggy, no truffle flavor, blah), fried oysters (decent, yummy honey saracha sauce on the bottom), lobster roll (have to request if you want warm, decent), whole fried flounder (gorgeous presentation, texture and temperature was okay but completely lacked seasoning/had to ask to bring salt to the table YIKES!), ordered 2 drinks (I had a skinny margarita-YUCK. Didn’t even finish it!). SERVICE: Our sever was polite but honestly not very attentive. Other servers constantly checking on their table on the patio but ours was Missing In Action. We had to ask a manager for our check! They had several managers in sport coats walking the floor, making conversation, refilling water which was nice but our individual server was average at best. All in all we need more of these types of restaurants in the Arboretum area as it offers a nice alternative if you want something more upscale in the immediate area without having to go to Waverly or Southpark this is it. Unfortunately for this price point IN THIS NATIONAL FINANCIAL CLIMATE spending hundreds of dollars on average unseasoned food, cocktails they taste like they’re made with pre night mix, and average service definitely IS NOT a choice I’ll be making again. I really wanted this to be better (this was my second try at the Arboretum destination) and the food and service was consistently average at best.

    Overall this is a great spot. The food is good and the service was great. I do wish they would enforce a dress code though. When I am eating at a nice restaurant, I don't want people next to me dressed in gym clothes and baseball hats.
