    Visiting from out of town and was pleasantly impressed with unique and quant hotel lobby style restaurant. We ordered a few small plates to share. I loved the pimento cheese with the hush puppies. It was slightly spicy and cut the sweetness of the crunchy fried hush puppies. I had the lamb special and it nicely cooked and seasoned and a perfect portion. Focaccia bread was good too. My sister had the kombucha on tap and it was great (I had a sip). Server was also very nice and attentive. Great meal for six of us and coming from the NY area, prices were reasonable.

    Service and ambiance was delightful. Some of the food was a bit under seasoned & sauced IMO.
