What a fabulous meal! Best in town- hands down. I don't want to go anywhere else. They have a wine pairing 5 course meal that is worth every dime and you'll walk out with a few new bottles of wine you might not have ever tried before. Love the chef!!!

Best Memosa in the area in a mason jar! The shrimp and grits had a twist I have never seen before and MAN! It was delicious! It's very popular and I have found walking in the door at 11.45 for lunch gets us a seat right away every time.

North Stafford Location: Great micro brewing company with a real taste for adventure with their mixes. I told the bartender I was a newbie and only drank Rolling Rock- he set me up with a house beer that was out of this world and now the only second beer I drink. There was a band that night and the place was packed- lots of fun.
