Oh wow! Everything we had here was several notches higher than we've gotten used to. The cold corn soup made me feel like I walked into an air-conditioned room on a hot day. It had a velvety texture and the taste was multi-layered, so complex I had to sit there and think about every bite. We also got the truffle fries, which were light and just crispy enough.

The seared tuna was served over a dragonfruit salsa that was beautiful, but seemed like it would be sour - it wasn't. It was an amazing complement to the delicate fish. My husband got the shrimp n grits, which sounds unglamourous but which had an absolutely gorgeous presentation and was a creamy, flavorful treat. For dessert, it was a teeny little peach cobbler just the right size for sharing, clearly made with fresh peaches and with a delicate crumb crust. The cocktails were hilarious and did, in fact, pair with the food nicely.

Through it all, our waitress, Natalie, was the perfect guide and steered us through a series of seemingly impossible choices with good humor and a ton of patience (I am not great at decision-making and, paralyzed with indecision, I left the choice of cocktail up to her - and she brought me a beautiful rosé concoction).
