Tried taste of the south for brunch on New Years Day. The restaurant is cute, service was outstanding! Our waiter was amazing, I wish I caught his name. Smashed potatoes and shrimp and grits were delicious. Already planing a visit back for dinner :)

Always love this restaurant, but it’s usually hard to get into. Luckily I made reservations well in advance. The ambience was lovely. The food was well priced and delicious. They were very busy so the service was a little slow. I would definitely go back.
