"Tucked behind an unassuming front advertising “natural wines and garden patio,” I discovered a quaint bar and intimate dining room in Bywater where Chefs Blake Aguillard and Trey Smith unfold a contemporary tasting that keeps surprising. A griddled cornbread cake smeared with butter aged and cultured in-house is outrageously satisfying, followed by a parade of petite courses showcasing refined sauces and bold flavors—highlights include Carolina Gold rice with crab and ginger, squab with creamed greens, and a warm cheese soufflé bolstered by brûléed sugar." - The MICHELIN Guide
