Took my wife for dinner on a tuesday nite. Had reservations but not needed. Really like the small and intimate atmosphere. We had the hummus appetizer which was top notch. We actually had it cleared from our table with some left (not like us at all), but felt with so much food coming it would fill us up...Our waitress brought our arugula salad (we ordered one to share) already split on two plates, very thoughtful. The salad was excellent with a few dried onions. My wife and I loved it. Now the fun part - we ordered the skate wing and fried chicken entrees. I was a little hesitant on the skate, but since I saw so many people rate it highly - and the servers endorsement...I took a chance. It was AWESOME. It had a scallop feel and was fibrous, not fishy at all. The grits served with it made the dish. The chicken was delightful, a true southern dish cooked masterfully. I mentioned to the server it was my wifes birthday, and she brought our dessert (3 small dishes - dried cherry tart, chocolate pecan pie and carrot cake) with a lit candle. Great atmosphere, perfect service, timing, and food. The wine list it great, I had white and my wife merlot - both by the glass. Appetizer, salad, 2 entrees, dessert and 3 glasses of wine total - $85. A deal, we will be back - with friends!
Pros: excellent menu, wine list and value priced
