    Virtue is amazing as always. Table a little wobbly and front of the house fixed it right away. Rog was my server again and they are so attentive and helpful with suggestions. Got some tried and true (fish&grits + corn bread) and new creations (asparagus salad + sweet potato entree) — could not have had better food. So creative and tasty. Just a perfect experience with great hospitality, delicious dishes and a feeling of warmth from the minute we walked in the door. Thank you very much for a wonderful evening!
