    We brought my brother and sister-in-law here for the first time on 2/15/25. Our server Merrick (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was great! Phenomenal dinner, food came out quickly and was delicious. The guys got whole chickens and my sister in law got the chicken sandwich. We ordered fries, spoon bread, succotash, horseradish mashed potatoes, shrimps and grit and macaroni and cheese. We had a lot left over but they wanted to try everything. Last night, the shrimps and grits stole the show though, 10/10! Our only issue, I hate to mention it because we had such a wonderful time but since I am deaf in one ear I feel it may be helpful to someone else; we were seated under a speaker and the music was so loud. So if you’re going and you have hearing issues, maybe ask not to be seated close to where their speakers are. Highly recommend if you love quick, efficient service and pipin hot, yummy food!

    Food and service were fantastic! The grill salad was the perfect size to share and tasted great! Lots of tomatoes, bacon and croutons. Empanadas were also excellent - each taste is different but all were great - short rib, jerk chicken and chicken salsa verde were our favorite.

    Sudova is a wonderful, cozy little hideaway on Court St. A delicious selection of Ukrainian, Georgian and other Eastern European cuisine. We opted on one large plate and several small plates. Everything was so tasty and presentation was perfect. Server was friendly and attentive. Nice selection of wine and cocktails.
