Excellent first experience. Great service and the food was excellent American pub fare. Fried pickles and spiced mayo — nicely fried and the herbs were a great touch. House made chips and onion dip — great flavor. Beet salad — the winner of the meal, lemon cream and hazelnuts were a wonderful touch. Shrimp, chorizo and grits were very well done, cheese in the grits would have been an nice addition. Flat bread — caramelized onions, goat cheese, the cheese could have been more pungent to offset the sweetness of the onions Beer sampler and the French 75 cocktail were great. A special thanks to the host for a great first time experience.
