The Best Restaurant in Tallahassee hands down!! Great local selection of food from a creative professional chef. The menu is always changing but they have their steadfast favorites like Pan Seared grouper over cheese grits and smoked greens. Its a pretty nice restaurant so, go here for a nice or romantic evening out.
