Shrimp and grits ! Austin Garcia, the head chef , is top notch. I’ve never had a bad experience here. We will keep going back!

The window into the kitchen provides a unique dining experience. The food is good, but the signature cocktails are worth the visit alone.

The BLT is delicious. The shrimp & grits have extremely strong/bold flavors. Glad I had the BLT instead. Get the bananas foster bread pudding too.

Martinis $5 on Wednesday was a great deal. The steak was perfect and the guacamole delicious. Atmosphere upstairs was busy but quiet enough to have a conversation.

The BLT is amazing! Wonderful combination of bacon , lobster and tomato with ravioli . Sounds strange but really delicious.

Carrie Bevis

The eggplant hummus was a great start! Very impressed by the volume of lobster in the red pony BLT

The Kung Paolo Calamari is a must. Never had a steak cut of calamari like this before.

The Red Pony B.L.T. is pretty good but my all time favorite is the Shrimp & Grits . Simply amazing.

The grilled salmon and figs with goat cheese is outrageously good and also, comparatively, one of the healthier options .

Dave R

Wedge salad is he best I’ve ever had. The entree’s are excellent.
