Influenced. Fluttering with contradiction.

    Our first visit to this restaurant did not disappoint! The owner and staff were all so gracious and welcoming! The Speakeasy tucked away behind the bar area was a wonderful spot to enjoy a beverage before seating. Our party of 7 was served by Mikhale. He offered excellent suggestions regarding food and wine and attended to our every need. The food was delicious and met our high expectations. Strongly recommend the gyoza and pork belly skewers. The entrees (lamb chop, prime filet and gulf fish) were cooked to perfection. We sampled four sides which were all delicious takes on classic southern dishes. Unfortunately, we didn’t have room for dessert! Michelin recognition makes sense! A wonderful addition to Ocean Springs Culinary scene. We look forward to visiting again.
