I love this place. Exceptional service and great food. We love the atmosphere. We drive from Columbia twice a year to meet our colleagues there. Try the steak sandwich, it won't disappoint.

Excellent food. Great service. Lovely decor. They were not very crowded on a rainy Tuesday night. I had the duck -- it was well seasoned and perfectly cooked.

Seth welcomed us to the restaurant. The restaurant is actually a renovated bank, It is absolutely beautiful. The wallpaper, the floor, the tables, Everything was beautiful . I could not get over the woodwork and the bar on the side was fantastic. Definitely a five star rating. Totally unexpected treasure, the elk was succulent and rich, and the sauce on it was phenomenal. Asparagus was grilled. I don't know what seasoning it was but it was the best asparagus I ever had in my life. The potatoes were a perfect match for the elk they were mild and creamy and wonderful. We also had the duck with the blueberry sauce. It was cooked to perfection. The blueberry sauce was the perfect complement to the savory. The Brussels were phenomenal. If I'd had a plate of them to eat all alone, I would've been quite happy. We had a banana pie that did not taste like banana the complement of the flavors actually taste more like butterscotch, but it was fantastic as well with a lovely graham cracker crust. The St. George and the McKenna bourbon was a lovely surprise and tasted fantastic. Jenny was the bartender and she actually gave us some of the history behind the building and some of the furnishings told us about the table that I have in the pictures belong to princess Diana, and showed me in the book where the history of it was . I was surprised how incredible this restaurant was. It was a spur of the moment reservation not by recommendation, but I would definitely travel back from Charlotte just to go there.

Went to the soft opening after the space was renovated today and Jenny was amazing and super friendly. The food was so good! I ordered an extra dirty martini, the chopped Caesar salad, and shrimp/scallop pasta. It was delicious. The new renovations are beautiful and the decor is stunning. I wish I had taken more photos!

We went to Newberry to visit an orchid greenhouse, and afterwards decided to explore downtown lunch opportunities. After checking out several casual places, we settled on Figaro the Dining Room. We were told they had excellent crab cakes. While we didn't find the crabcakes, but we enjoyed two of their salads and shared an order of sweet potato fries. One of the salads featured charred lettuce, and the other was a mixed green salad with strawberries and a few blueberries. Salad dressing is made in house. It was a bit thick, but very tasty. Our server was pleasant and seemed to enjoy her job. We enjoyed our lunch, and may return for dinner.

It's good. Kept bringing out blueberry pancake when we ordered plain, twice! Good coffee. It's a nice looking place and very historic. Shrimp and grits, amazing!
