Menu Deep Dive

Steeped in Southern tradition with a refined touch, this menu celebrates regional classics while incorporating global influences. Dishes like chili biscuits, shrimp and grits, and oxtail tamales showcase a commitment to elevated comfort food, while international flavors appear in items such as green coconut curry octopus and berbere-spiced Cornish hen. The emphasis on local ingredients, particularly Gulf seafood and stone-milled grits, reinforces the menu's connection to its Southern roots.

Savory oxtail tamales drizzled with a rich, house-made salsa rojo, complemented by a vibrant pico de gallo black-eyed pea salad, offering a delightful fusion of Mexican flavors and textures.

A hearty gumbo brimming with smoky andouille sausage, tender shrimp or oysters, and nutrient-rich greens, delivering a robust depth of flavors in every spoonful complemented by the comforting presence of rice.

A refreshing salad featuring juicy watermelon, peppery arugula, tangy feta, and crunchy pistachios, all tied together with a bright lemon ginger vinaigrette.

Crispy fried or blackened catfish fillets served over creamy stone-ground grits, accompanied by a tangy slaw and rich oxtail jus.

A grilled octopus tentacle rests atop a vibrant green coconut curry sauce, garnished with roasted peanuts and fresh coriander, offering a delightful serving of tender seafood with aromatic Southeast Asian flavors.
