I went here with my boyfriend on the spur-of-the-moment one Saturday. Went in on our way home from Crema on Fayetteville Street to look over the menu and see if we could get a reservation for that night. They were able to seat us on the outdoor mezzanine that night at 6:30. Came in and it wasn't too crowded, but filled up pretty quickly. People were pretty dressed up; some in full suits and their Sunday best, we were in jeans and nice tops. The atmosphere was pretty upscale inside, slightly less so on the outdoor mezzanine. The view up there wasn't awesome or anything, but it was a nice night so it was pretty nice out there nonetheless. The waiter came over to get our drink orders not long after we were seated. I wanted a beer but wasn't familiar with any of the beers on their menu, so he helped me pick one out. It was pretty good. Then we ordered our entrees. I got the black eyed pea fritters and the BF got wood fired salmon with some kind of sauce, (you choose a meat and a sauce for the wood fired entrees) with cheddar grits and some kind of squash side dish. Our food was excellent. I thought it was really good for the money. We passed on dessert. The total, two entrees and three beers, came out to $45+tip. Service was pretty good without being overbearing or intrerrupting us too much.\r

On our way out, we heard a bluegrass band playing next door at Capital City Grocery, and spent the rest of the evening drinking $2 Big Boss beers and listening to the free show over there. It was a pretty nice evening altogether.
Pros: Food was well-prepared, drinks weren't too pricey considering how upscale the place is.
Cons: Hard to get a reservation, not a lot of vegetarian options, kind of need to dress up to fit in.
