    For our group it was just ok. But not great. More experience wait staff needed.

    One suggestion: if 7 people are asking for a variety of appetizers to share (specified "to share"), we suggest the servers provide serving utensils so we each can use them. We resorted to using our forks which, of course, had already been in our mouths. And our own knives to cut the biscuits. Not THAT much of a big deal, but it would have been considerate to have utensils for the "sharing" process. Food was good, especially the sliders and fried chicken and biscuits(yum) and beignets (also yum). Our waiter was responsive, friendly, and dignified.(Nico?) Did his best to accommodate all those people and all those dishes(!) We hated the music and asked if it could be turned down. He warned us that they would not turn it down. Wished we were outside so we wouldn't have to listen to it, but it was cold.... Folks at the reception desk were friendly and accommodating. Very kind. Atmosphere (except for the music) good. All in all we had a good experience...

    Honestly one of my favorite places. While not just like back home, it is as close as I can get up here. All that’s missing is sweet tea!

    The food was good; the service was pretty lackluster. We asked for a side of barbecue sauce three times from three separate people before receiving it. We also had to repeatedly ask for more water, for boxes for our food, to have the menus removed from the table after we ordered, etc. It was just very disinterested service.
