Our experience was wonderful!! We brought our family of 5 including kids 16, 12 and 9 y/o. Food was great with gluten free options and bottomless mimosas!! Our waiter and the manager were so sweet inviting us to Latin night and chatting with us about industry nights in the area. Architecture of the restaurant is a beautiful industrial vibe with a view of the bridge. I can’t say enough great things. We will definitely be back!!

The place is amazing; the atmosphere is wonderful, and the food is great. The catfish sandwich is delicious and has very little breading, so you can taste the fish. When we last went, there was a Juneteenth event and the vibe was great.

I really like the ambiance and the location. The food quality is definitely on point. I was disappointed that they decided to take the shrimp and grits off the brunch menu. That was one of the best shrimp and grits I've had. I hope management decides to put it back on the menu.

Great vibe at this place! Such a cool interior/exterior and the food was great! Friendly staff. The PATCO line running by gets annoying, but the views are unbeatable!
