    Food was delicious, wait service great, music got a little too loud to talk as restaurant was not crowded. Would definitely go back!

    The service was bad and the time to wait for in between services and asking for the ticket was extremely long. Also the servers wasn’t knowledgeable about the menu

    Pregame for UFC fight. Great experience! 4 of us tried most everything. Expresso Martini was very good. The Korean ribs, Vietnamese wings, barbecue shrimp and cheese burger were among the notable call outs. Great service!

    The food was unique but odd. The ribeye was excellent. The icebox pie was superb. The bread pudding had raisins. The bartenders (we sat at the bar) totally ignored us and appeared to be way too cool for us. I’m not cool so perhaps they were in-fact too cool. The first thing the gentleman said to us was “kitchen closes at 9. Let’s get y’all’s order in. Last call is now also”. Small caveat was that our reservation (made through open table) was at 9. The restaurant posted that option and we accepted. This was my birthday dinner with my husband. wish the wait staff would have been some form of courteous but that wasn’t their vibe tonight. Cheers!

    Dinner was EXCEPTIONAL. Chicken gumbo so good we licked our bowls! :). And the pineapple upside down cornbread was a perfect match ... Then we moved onto the veggie flatbread. Small plates are great because you get to taste so much of the menu! And the staff was attentive ... and in teams. Our team was Justin and Alexandria ... they were always there if you had a question or just wanted to chat. And we never had to wait for anything! Because they were a tag team. Brilliant!!!
