Small venue with white table cloth service. Great small plates and very good entrees. Nice selection of cocktails. Great spot for an intimate meal. Bill for two was $150.

I had the redfish, polenta cakes, and brussel sprouts. Everything was spot on! Fish was cooked perfect and the polenta cakes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The dish was comforting but also not too heavy! Our server and cocktails were wonderful too. Will come again if we visit mobile.
