    We have become regulars here and always enjoy it. Menu favorites includes the charred brussels, the mussels, the prime rib melt, the jalepeno grilled cheese. Drink favorites include Selfies in Tulum plus they have a decent wine and beer selection. Brunch favorite is the brunch board and a no bread version of eggs benedict with salmon (yum). Staff is great!

    We had a nice dinner for four with glasses of the house wine. The service was good and more than one person checked on us during our meal. I had the meatloaf because others had recommended it, and it was a great choice. It is a combination of lamb and beef and is flavorful. Two people in our party had the portabello entree, but they were disappointed there wasn't more kale in the dish. It only had a few tablespoons of kale and some chopped up portabello; and they both thought it should have had quite a bit more of the kale. The dish was mostly polenta, and it tasted great, but it didn't have enough of the "good stuff" in it. The fourth person had the crab cake sandwich. She said is was good but was not "wowed" by it. We all tried her fries, and they were superb. The waitress had recommended other dishes, but no one ordered what she recommended. We all had the house wines, three whites and one red. They were typical house wines--adequate and middle of the road in dryness.

    We had a reservation for four at 6 o'clock. We got there at 6:05 and were taken to a reserved table immediately. They were busy and our server asked for our drink order, the drinks came out quickly. We placed our food order soon after. The food came out and we did not see our server again for awhile. We got a water carafe with our meal and we all 4 got a cocktail. My son wanted another cocktail and had to get up and go find the waitress to order it. The waitress was very pleasant and I think we didn't see her as much as we should have due to maybe being short staffed and full. It is a fairly small restaurant and the volume is loud. The food does not disappoint! We had mussels, polenta and portobello, steak filet sandwich, and T-bone steak dinner. All of us were happy with our entrées.

    We enjoyed the creative cocktails, the fresh pretzel from Jamison B, and our dinners. The golden tilefish was prepared simply, letting the flavor of the fish shine, and the accompanying vegetables were delicious and nicely presented. The handhelds are tasty and portions generous. It's nice to have a restaurant like District South in the neighborhood.

    I really enjoyed the chicken croissant. I’ve had a few times there. I brought a friend who’s been there for the first time and she had chicken salad and she enjoyed it as well. It’s just a bit loud in your restaurant though.
