    Went for happy hour. Kyrie was an excellent server. Enjoyed all the dishes except the duck. It was bland. Bar was very accomodating when asked for NA cocktails.

    Service was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately as soon as we sat down we were told what was not available on the menu. It’s a piece of paper, print a new one if the dish/drink is not available or if it has changed due to something not being available to make it or put in it as listed. Very disappointing. The cherry blossom sour that we ordered did not have the cherry blossom available to make it so we opted for a regular bourbon sour. It was good. Had the Chairman, it was good, very strong and nice presentation with it being smoked. We started off with tacos, they were the best of the night. We had the Barbacoa and pork belly. Both tasty and available as printed on the menu. We ordered the Farm Focused Salad but the chile pecan brittle was not available and it was just a regular salad at that point. We had the Kimchi Stone Pot with the noodles and short rib. It was good, however the short rib was very dry. It was however tender, but lacking taste which was a surprise based on the description of the dish. We were a little hesitant to order anymore since some dishes were not available or the dish had changed due to the recipe changing based on availability of contents. So we decided to try the shrimp and grits. This dish had no taste at all. I will say at least the prawns were well cooked and didn’t have a fishy taste but the dish was very disappointing based on the expectation of the description of the dish. We decided to call it quits at this point and not waste anymore money on tasteless dishes. We were very disappointed in the food as we had really looked forward to it based on the description of the dishes so we will not venture back to this place. It’s one thing if you’re out of something because you sold out of it, but another when it’s 6 pm and you just don’t offer this dish as it is listed anymore. We were told the menu would be changing soon, but in the mean time I think they should reprint a new one with what they do have and change the menu online

The portion sizes were perfect and I left feeling satisfied and not overly stuff or left hungry. And the ambiance of the space is absolutely exquisite!! The service was also TOP NOTCH! We wanted for nothing. The waitstaff anticipated our every need and we had a wonderful evening. Will definitely be back!!!

    We have been a fan of the head chef since his last restaurant, Stix and Stones. The food and atmosphere was everything a person could ask for. The perfect date night location.

    Great for relaxed romantic dinner or pre-theater gathering. Our waiter, Kyri, is excellent. He could be our "regular" without question -- as can this lovely restaurant whenever downtown SA is our destination.
