This place is super busy, so book in advance. Most dishes are prepared over an open flame. A bit pricy but the attention to detail does not go unnoticed. Fun atmosphere. Try and get a seat at the bar looking into the kitchen. It's dinner and a show!

I've only been for brunch but his place is nailing it! Please order the grits, you've never had them this way. They're pillowy, airy, and melt in your mouth. I had the braised short ribs with grits and an eggs. It's a real winner.

Sightseeing
Walk along the waterfront for breathtaking views of the river, Brooklyn Bridge and Jane's Carousel. There's often live music and movie nights during the summer so check for listings. Instead of waiting in a 2 hr line at Juliana's or Grimaldi's for pizza, order a pie to go and head to the water for a picnic. My favorite is pepperoni and mushrooms. You're welcome.
