    Enjoyed the cocktails and dishes quite a bit. The corn cake dessert and corn pancakes were my favorite. However the dj/loud music and dancer around 8 pm didn't add anything to our dinner and detracted from our enjoyment.

    Our server was great (personable and professional). The food was excellent (however, the kitchen was inexplicably slow considering it was still early on a Friday and not busy)
