If you haven't heard yet, it's true. We have started serving dinner Thursday through Saturday!

In addition to our regular lunch items and our new beer and wine list, each weekend we will have several specials. During our first weekend our customers enjoyed Steak Diane, Tournedos Jackson Square, Crab Cakes with Mango Chutney with sides of fresh collards and our Gourmet Grits, and a Fried Seafood Platter piled high with shrimp, oysters, scallops, fish, hush puppies, and fries with some coleslaw on the side.

If you know David, you will see his restaurant "genealogy," if you will, in this first supper. The Low Country coast where he grew up, Donn Duteau’s Le Cafe Naturel in the early '80s Augusta scene, Rae's Coastal Cafe where he helped Walter Clay with a crazy idea (a Jamaican restaurant where?!), an anniversary dinner we will never forget at The Old Post Office on Edisto Island, long hours at CQ’s on Hilton Head, the energy and spirit of Up Your Alley -- all of these have influenced and continue to inspire David in this next expansion.

And that’s just what showed up on the plates that weekend. Maybe it’s true that you are what you eat. Here’s to many more meals from a legacy of good eating and great cooking!
