We had a very nice dinner. Our dumplings, snapper, Carolina Gold rice, and cabbage were excellent and a nice size to share between two people. The wait staff described food and drinks perfectly and were friendly and attentive (but not too attentive). The drink list is not large, but our suggested wines paired very nicely with our plates.
