Cocktails were delicious, service was excellent. The crab cake was delicious, one of the better ones I have had in Baltimore. However they have a very winterized menu, heavy, hot, thick and creamy menu items with open restaurant in 80 degree weather. Overall overpriced as well.

We enjoyed a pleasant outdoor dining experience. But let me cut to the chase. YOU MUST MUST MUST try the shrimp and grits if you come for brunch. Yes, I know, everybody offers shrimp and grits nowadays. But let me explain something to you. The grits are not just normal grits. The texture, flavor, and overall look is splendid. And the grits do not overwhelm the shrimp by any stretch. Further, the shrimp actually has size to it, tail and all. Thirdly, the sauce. What in the world was that? Splendidly gorgeously beautifully delicious. I don't even have a description for it except to say that it is flavorful and unlike anything I've tried in this context before. Other than that, another five stars for the skillet cornbread with honey on top. You actually don't even need the butter. And though I am an adult, I drank the Shirley Temple. Which was exceptional. The only reason this experience got four stars instead of five is the fried oyster. But it's probably not their fault, I was just giving oyster a new chance to court my palate and it continued to taste what, to me, is what oysters taste like. Absolutely and positively nothing. Anyway, savor this place! It was nice.

I've passed by this place a bunch and couldn't wait to check it out as it is beautiful and the menu looked interesting. I was pretty underwhelmed by experience there. The service was pretty slow. The food was good but not great. I got the pork chop which was good but the accoutrements did not really go with it. My husband had the whole Fish which he said was grizzly. They had many cocktail options and if you couldn't find something you liked, you could get bartender's Choice made to your liking. Definitely an interesting place and while I did not love it, I'm willing to give it another try.

Absolutely delicious and such kind staff!! Especially the host, his personality and energy was everything. I had been eyeing this place up for a while, and finally had the chance to check it out. Their drinks are delicious, the service is on point, and the food was to die for. The whole crispy fish - easily my favorite. But the short ribs were mouthwatering. We also got a pickles plate, corn bread, and the beet salad! Highly recommend and cannot wait to return.
