8/10/23 - This is a place that looks like a tiny nothing much venue from the street, but don’t let that fool you! It was an oasis from the moment we walked in. Truly lovely space that is enhanced by amazing art on loan from...the modernism museum, and happily has tables spaced so that you can easily breathe and not bump into settings while being directed to yours. It was really an AAAHHH space and so completely unexpected after walking through historic district shops!
A fabulous place to enjoy lingering we decided rather than a quick meal, we were not going to be in a hurry. We were immediately greeted and taken to a beautiful table and given menus. Our server Mason, arrived soon after and almost immediately gained our complete confidence. We wanted a bottle of wine and his inquiries about our preference went well beyond white or red and our price point. He was by very knowledgeable about the wine list and brought us a bottle of Mon Coer that was wonderful and certainly surprisingly under what we were willing to spend. No high pressure here!
We indicated we weren’t in a hurry and wanted to enjoy a glass before deciding on an appetizer. We had a few questions about the appetizers and decided on the cheese plate. It was nicely priced for what it included and quite enjoyable. As we finished it we were ready to order entrees. RIbeye was not a cut we’d heard of for pork. My husband selected that as one of Mason’s, suggestions, and pronounced it amazing. Nice portion and certainly nothing left on the plate. I’d managed to get a bite and completely agreed with him. I ordered another of Mason’s recommendations, the Wreckfish, which we’d also never heard of. Truly, wonderful with a grouper-like texture but milder flavor.
Mason scored 100% for 3 out of 3 right on target recommendations! So a perfect 5 star score for 1921. We were too full for dessert and sorry about our belly limitations, as well as living too far away to come back anytime soon so that we could be regulars!More
