"Behind an unassuming front advertising natural wines and a garden patio in Bywater, I discovered an intimate contemporary tasting where Chefs Blake Aguillard and Trey Smith open with pleasant bites and build to griddled cornbread cake smeared with house‑aged cultured butter and a series of petite courses showcasing refined sauces and bold flavors; highlights include a Carolina Gold rice with crab and ginger, squab with creamed greens, and a warm cheese soufflé bolstered by brûléed sugar." - The MICHELIN Guide
