You know those photos of food that you look at from others and then you make your way out to the restaurant, to only finish and be let down? That’s how I felt right after eating this. Now don’t get me wrong, the service and place is utterly spectacular. I will say that we did sit outside in the cold and the spaces that they set up were cute and it brought something magical to dinner. If you are able to sit in the section where they have makeshift doors as dividers between guests, you’re sitting in a special place. It’s nice because they also have individual heaters for tables along with a candle. Now to the food. Sigh. The picture above is the buttermilk fried chicken with collard greens and cornbread. I’m not sure why but they no longer serve the cornbread or fried chicken any longer for dinner. I’m assuming it wasn’t popular which is why they removed it. The cornbread with the salted honey black pepper butter spread was really good. I’ve never had a black pepper butter spread but it was quite good. It was sweet but had a little salt to it which turned out to be a good combination. It didn’t have any spice to it because the honey helped mellow it out. If you do see it on the menu when you go, it’s a must. In terms of the fried chicken and collard greens, it wasn’t anything to rave about. It was okay but I’ve had better. I wish I didn’t have to say it because I really like this place. I do think it’s a place to try if you want a scenic date but other than that it’s nothing special. I guess the price for what I received was disappointing. I’ll have to get it another try when I’m back in the area though for sure.
