This may of been the place to go 20 years ago. But not now. Midweek entertainment was terrible. Watered down drinks, flat post mix sodas. Food was far from southern hospitality. This place is run by penny pinching hosts. Go somewhere else.

This was a treat - yes, the food is good - I had jambalaya and my husband had fried chicken. Wednesday shared a side of very good biscuits. But the real treat is the entertainment which on Wednesday night started at 6:30 - Al Kane, I think his name is - guitarist, singer (think Nat King Cole) and absolutely wonderful entertainer! We will be back!

The hostess was extremely rude upon arrival. Everything else was great! We didn't eat food, so you should put a "NA" column on your rating.

We came before we went to a play in the city, so it was early. We really enjoyed our meal and drinks. It was too early for music but I loved the ambiance and definitley want to come back and enjoy the music.

Thought we were making dinner reservations - it was to buy tickets for the blues show. We like jazz, so it was ok. Be sure to check when the music sets begin. Our reservations were for 7, the show started at 630 and ended at 740. The next show started at 9, and you had to buy another ticket if you stayed. There is a 2-drink minimum. A card is required to hold your reservation and there is no cancellation. None of this information was on OpenTable.
