Drinks first: my slightly dirty martini was made exactly right. My friend went with cosmo and it was equally on point. Whoever is behind that bar has their act together. Then the food happened. We started with grilled bread with an EVOO, agave, and chile dip -- sounds simple, ate like a statement. The char on the bread, the heat and sweetness of that dip. Good sign of things to come. Main event: shrimp and grits. Guinea flint grits, spicy red sauce, sage, stock. I don't say this lightly -- this is one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. The grits were creamy and rich, the sauce had real depth and heat, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The whole bowl just worked on every level. Dessert: goat cheesecake with pistachio dust and berry compote. Tangy, creamy, not too sweet, and that pistachio dust on top was a perfect finish. We cleared the plate.

I always order the spicy buffalo wings, but there are truly so many flavor options to choose from. The hot honey wings are also delicious. They charge for a side of extra sauce though, which I find a little ridiculous. Their fries are the perfect mix of crispy and flavorful. My boyfriend ordered the buffalo chicken wrap but got it with a different sauce instead. He enjoyed it! While this is a great spot, the parking is horrible. There's very limited spots and all the parking lots nearby have towing signs. It's a huge risk, especially because i've seen people get towed on multiple occasions. It also gets really loud so it's tough to have a conversation - and if there's a football game on, forget it, you'll never hear one another.

Loved the custom themed cocktails which also included a "love potion" martini with raspberry vodka.

The prices were on par for similar establishments - which is a little high across the board in this state, but that's just how it is. There is really only one problem here, and it's the seating. While the wrought iron chairs may have been an aesthetic decision that match the rustic design, they are really, REALLY uncomfortable! We were fortunate enough to have chairs that had a cushion on them (which most of them didn't appear to have), but even with the cushions, sitting in those chairs for only a short time was uncomfortable. Gotta say we would have stayed a lot longer and ordered several more rounds of drinks, but our backs and butts just couldn't take another second on those hard metal chairs. Ultimately, I'd give this place 4, probably even 5 stars if new comfortable chairs were added. Hopefully management will take this suggestion into consideration in the future.

They could have easily fit another 3 stools at the bar; people were actually standing in the places stools could have gone. The place felt like an old neighborhood bar where guys went after work for a beer before heading home. Everyone seemed to know each other. Besides the bar scene it was empty. I walked to the bar and asked for menus and a few beers. We had to go to the bar each time to order. We got the buffalo wings and Sikorsky sliders. Food took a while but it was worth it. The wings were breaded so they had a nice crunch to them. The sliders were great - grilled chicken, bacon, sharp cheddar and cracked pepper mayo. The food was really good, I always appreciate a breaded wing. The beer and wings were supposed to be on happy hour at $5 each as noted on the menu. When we got the bill we were charged full price for everything. We asked the bartender why they weren't discounted and he explained that they weren't on HH. We asked him to look at the menu and he said he would honor the prices but the menus were wrong...? I wonder how many times people were charged full price for these items before and didn't take the time to look at the bill. I don't know if that's a normal practice in this place but its a shame because I definitely will not be going back.

Sliders are good, also got the buffalo chicken egg roll which was really crunchy. There's usually a dog hanging out inside, well behaved and friendly. I don't mind that at all. It's such a soft environment. As far as drinks, there is not a very good draft beer selection, basically your usual basics and a seahag. Why not some local craft beer?! Service was great until our waitress disappeared (went home?) I ended up going to the bartender to cash our our lunch check from the table. Still we will likely be back because the food is yummy.
