So, we've eaten here several times before and I always have felt this restaurant deserves 5 stars. However, this visit was so different and mildly disappointing. The restaurant was packed and we were seated in a corner booth in the first dining room. That corner is where all the sound bounces back into the room. Every conversation, every laugh every exclamation we felt vibrating off our booth. Our waiter was very professional and brought us samples of our wine selection. We ordered two First courses, the Korean beef belly with kimchi and our all-time favorite, fried okra. I was very surprised to find a $16 appetizer of beef belly hardly enough for one person let alone share. It was tasty though. The fried okra however was served lukewarm and there were several pieces which were large and woody and inedible. We shaere the main course of pork tenderloin and fried quail with a variety of vegetables. The entree was very tasty and plentiful. This is normally our favorite restaurant in the area without having to go to Greenville. I'm sorry I couldn't give the restaurant five stars this time but it was a disappointing experience.
