I had a really good experience. The music added a great vibe to breakfast—played nothing but hits. The food was good, with well-balanced flavors and solid portion sizes. Service was also good—our server was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, a great spot for a breakfast/brunch with good food, good music, and good service.

Advertised as being 100% gluten free. This is why we chose to eat here, as my fiance has Celiac disease. All the apps said it was safe and dedicated gluten free. Good was very good, little pricey but worth it to have a safe place to eat. However, when we got back to our hotel, my fiance had a very bad gluten attack and was sick all night. To say we were disappointed is an understatement.

Beautiful space, attentive service, and THE FOOD! The food was so flavorful and my husband, who has celiac disease, was thrilled that he could order anything on the menu (except the beer). The New Orleans-style menu is inspired. I had the catfish and grits and my mouth and tummy were so happy. My husband had the chicken and beignets waffles. I thought he was going to cry when he bit into that fried chicken because it’s been soooo long since he has had GOOD gluten free fried chicken. It’s hard to find a place that is truly celiac safe so we will definitely be back. CheSa - thank you for your safe and delicious food. Keep doing what you’re doing!

The food is overpriced. The food concept is good, but it's not actualized. When you look at the menu, it's nice The food doesn't live up to the hype. The food was very mediocre. The Service is ok. The only thing I enjoyed was my cocktail (The Cloud), it's low key addictive.

The most notable dish was the five-cheese alligator dip. Everything else was either super salty or plain in flavor. Their salad is not worth the price. It was flimsy. The crawfish cornbread was dry. I think we waited almost 45 minutes for everything! I remember feeling antsy waiting. I also got super thirsty during and after this meal. Some items were super salty.
