"My friend brought me here after a morning hike near by. My expectations were high because my friend had talked this place up. I’m happy to report my expectations were surpassed. This hole in the wall, mom and pop shop is just what the heart desires. Home down soul food with a modern twist. The I ingredients are simple but the orchestration is unique. The flavors and combinations of sauces and textures make this place unforgettable. I had cornbread topped with lean Carolina style pulled pork and chicken mix, covered in homemade pimento cheese sauce, homemade bbq sauce with a side of bbq collard greens. Although the food was out of this world good that’s not the best part. The best part is the owner working as a wait staff. This lady is the nicest person I’ve meet in a long while. She came over to our table to check on us and we continued to have a conversation for 10min. I learned about the history and how she comes up with recipe ideas!! Overall a great place to visit for lunch or dinner. Highly recommend for families or singles on a quick date. Have fun and enjoy this delicious food and family!"

"We were seated on time and placed our order, but then things took a turn. Four share plates arrived within just 2-3 minutes of each other, leaving no room on our table. We were informed that this was due to their small kitchen and that dishes must leave the kitchen as soon as they’re ready. However, I don’t think that’s acceptable; it indicates a lack of proper management. We certainly didn't need all four dishes arriving within the first 15 minutes of sitting down. Isn't the essence of French cuisine about savoring and enjoying the experience? As for the food, the marinated calamari was overly vinegary and barely edible. It was so fishy that we suspect the vinegar was meant to mask that unpleasant taste, which should not be a characteristic of calamari. We received only five pieces of calamari, each no larger than a nickel. The anchovy and fennel special was a hunt for any trace of anchovies, and my husband joked that maybe they were hiding in the calamari to explain the fishy flavor. This was far from the enchanting evening we had hoped for. We left feeling unsatisfied and went around the corner to Frank's Cafe, where we enjoyed a relaxed meal with small dishes and dessert. Our romantic night felt rushed, with our entire dining experience taking less than an hour from the moment we sat down to when we left. Not cool at all."

"A friend was in Charlottesville for business, so we drove down from Fredericksburg for dinner. The food was good, but not remarkable. I ordered the lamb meatballs and the crab cakes. The meatballs were good. The crab cakes had no filler, but I found them to be dry. My wife had the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were good sized, but there weren't very many of them. The grits were done well. For dessert, we had the flourless chocolate torte, which was incredible! The service was very slow. The waiter forgot to put in our appetizer order, despite writing it down when we ordered it. They came out with our entree. We had to wait quite a while for a check, too. I'd go back, but I wouldn't pick it. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4"

"Had a wonderful evening at this restaurant as a couple. The wine selection was fantastic and the service was top-notch. We even decided to tip the kitchen for their excellent execution of the dishes. The only critique I have is that the duck fries on the menu were not exactly what I was expecting, but they were still delicious."
