                                  Great place all around! They were out of the wagyu steak which was #1 on my list to try but I chose the bison short rib and couldn't have been happier. Twisting my arm... ok I'll be back for the wagyu. The wedge salad was fresh! The pork belly with kimchi aioli hit all the right notes as an appetizer. My wife had the blackened shrimp and said it was incredible. We finished things off with the confetti cake. The texture took it up a notch! For an upscale casual dining experience it checks all of the boxes. You should make reservations now!

                                  This was our first time here after buying a second home in Lake Lure. It was outstanding! Will definitely be coming back and bringing friends and family with us!

                                  Amazing as always. Atmosphere is over the top. Food (sea bass and husband had blackened shrimp) was delicious...as good or better than the fine restaurants in Charleston. Great cocktails and wine too.
