"All right, so the the real reason I knew I had to visit this spot was that I had never seen Keith Lee 's eyes roll up in his head so many times while reviewing a restaurant. This spot is a little spendier per plate than my normal fare, but with such a glowing review, I had to give them a shot. Honestly, we were lucky that we were able to wait an hour for a spot at the bar as walk ins. Reservations are a must now that they 're blowing up, and I will plan better the next time I want some of this simple yet elegant fare. The service was impeccable, from the hostess helping us get on the wait list, to the bartender who was our server explaining the dishes as needed, keeping the food coming, and the waters topped up throughout dinner. The food was INCREDIBLE. We started with a small plate of the charred shrimp and an order of the truffle fries. The shrimp were a 9/10 only because I 'm comparing them in my mind to the truffle fries which were out of this world 12/10. My partner got the Salmon large plate and I got the Duck Confit Gumbo. She is a picky eater, but everything on her plate received her stamp of approval. I 've never eaten Collard Greens that I 've enjoyed, but the way they were prepared and presented with the Duck Gumbo dish was sublime. The whole plate of food was a cohesive journey that I couldn 't put down until it was done. I forget the French term for the dessert we got, but it was like a lemon y pudding that really tied the whole evening together. Final thoughts: This place is a little too spendy to be an every day adventure on my current budget, but the food was so amazing, I know I 'm going to be back. They pre charge an 18% tip, but they probably deserve more, as the service is impeccable. Keep up the great work, y 'all!"
