It was a cold January Wednesday night, only a few people at the restaurant, but we were welcomed by the friendly staff and quickly felt cozy and warm. For apps we had the perfectly seasoned chicken wings and a Caesar salad with crispy quinoa…nice touch. Entrees included the salmon filet with cheese grits topped with parsley & fennel, a seared pork chop with a loaded potato (substituted the mashed), and finally the Mushroom Étouffée, which is a vegan dish with rice and Cajun Seasoning. No dessert, but a round of warm & sweet after-dinner drinks was perfect.
