OrderWood-roasted oysters, NC fish on fire
Ashley Christensen's wood-fired restaurant on West Hargett Street cooks exclusively over live fire using a wood-burning hearth. The whole grilled NC fish (variety changes daily) is the kitchen's most direct expression of this: brushed with seasonal herb butter, cooked over the embers until the skin crisps and the flesh separates cleanly from the bone. The dish changes daily based on what the Carolina coast supplies.
