In ShortDiners enter through leaded glass doors to stand in front of an ornate staircase. Linen-covered tables are placed throughout several lavish rooms. Warm tones and gentle candlelight add the finishing touches to this romantic setting. Start with the flavorful "Sapelo Mud River" clams, steamed perfectly and enhanced with Italian sausage. For entrees, the sauteed diver scallops over smoked duck and the roasted Australian lamb rack in a white truffle lamb jus are both top notch.

Wonderful night out !!

We have been twice and have loved it. The food was fabulous and the service couldn't have been better. We are waiting for my sister and her husband to visit from Charlotte so we can take them there. They are use to very fine dining and I'm sure they will love it as we did.

Not Recommended!

First of all, the restaurant hallway stinks. I ordered a seafood dish. One mussel was bad, which made the whole dish stink. After the problem was reported, the manager simply took the order from the bill and did not even apologize...
