   Wonderful as always! Had the New York Strip. Perfectly cooked. The corn soufflé is a staple for me. Also had the chess pie which was ridiculous good. Delicious flakey homemade crust.

   Bad service. Luke-warm food. Expensive for what you get. All for $95! I’ve had better food at Shake Shack at 20% of the cost.

   Arrived on time for our 8pm reservation and waited 20 minutes for our table. We were then seated right next to the door and all of the waiting patrons. Not a great start. Took another 20 minutes to get our drinks. We then ordered appetizers and our mains which arrived pretty much all together, making us feel rushed. The food was good not great. Overall, a rather disappointing experience.

   I love the ambience. The lighting is beautiful. Service was great. Wedge salad had plenty of dressing and Ingredients. Not just lettuce. Peas and carrots were ok. Carrots good but, pea was purée and I couldn’t taste pea flavor.

   We had business visiting, so I like to show off our cities best. I would consider this one of our culinary jewels and boujie soul food. We had drunken deviled egga and chicken biscuit for starters. Both inventive and well received. Chicken pickled onions really set off the slider on a shortening biscuit like grandma made. I had Short-rib Meatloaf… which is topped with dollop Tomato puree. The meat is pressed into a square and seasoned well… it unique texture of dry but tender and quite tasty. I cannot really compare to anything else. Friend had braised pork ribs, which remind me a bit of PF Chang spicy BBQ on the bone with red chili peppers served in a skillet. The were candied braised and crisp juicy bite off the bone. Highly recommend.

   First time visitor and while there were many positive takeaways, I didn’t think the food was “can’t wait to go back” inspiring. Spare ribs were fantastic, “fish of the day” sea bass was very disappointing, corn soufflé & mushroom medley were great but carrot medley was undercooked. Will probably return and try some other entrees and sides to give it another chance. Overall: some great dishes, some mediocre, and some disappointing ones….a mixed bag. The ambience is very nice and comfortable, but wish I had enjoyed the food more.

    Food was very good. Since it was our first time, we tried the fried chicken, the ribs and a couple of sides, following our server’s recommendations. All was very good, especially the ribs. Cocktails were also very good. My only criticism would be that the food took probably 45 minutes, but other than that everything was great and we will certainly go back to try other items on the menu.

    A surprisingly different menu. If you enjoy spices, unique flavors then you should try this restaurant. The lack of sandwich choices and limited substitutions put off one guest in our party. Mac and cheese was delicious. Our server provided excellent service. A rare dining experience.

    The place was nice. Service was excellent. The food was so-so to be honest. The best thing we had was the bacon small plate with marinated cheese, pickled veggies, fried skin (pork rinds) and bacon. Although I’d have to say when you get a “bacon” plate you’d think they’d actually feature the bacon a little more prominently. We split a wedge salad. What we didn’t understand is why they bring us one bowl with the wedge split in the same bowl with no explanation. I guess dishwasher had the night off. Then she had the beef short rib meatloaf and I had 14 oz NY Strip. I asked for the strip Pittsburgh with rare plus. I’m unsure what happened but the steak was chewy. I know what Pittsburgh is…it definitely is not “chewy”. Wine was excellent, we had the only listed gewürztraminer. Saving Grace was the server. He was excellent.

    Food was not very good, even the steak was not very good and its pretty hard to mess up a steak. The use a weird seasoning on a lot of the food that was not to my liking. The chairs were also super uncomfortable.

Sadly one of the items we ordered was not available, and we didn’t find out until we inquired about its where a bouts. Our server was a little MIA for large periods of time, but overall a really nice restaurant that we would return to!

    Cost ambiance and not too noisy despite a ‘happening’ vibe. The drinks were delicious. The fried chicken biscuits, chicken pot pie and chicken under a brick (sensing a theme?) we’re all superb. The only minor negative was the cassoulet side dish in which the beans were a bit undercooked. Attentive and speedy service. We’ll be back.

    We had been here a couple of times prior. On Sunday night the ambiance was excellent as always. The food was above average. We had one issue that bothered us. There were 2 people that ordered gin and tonics. They were pleased to learn that Plymouth was a gin option. The gin and tonics served were weak in that the tonic was flat. When we brought this to the servers attention … she suspected that the CO2 tank was empty, thus no carbonation I believe something more than an excuse should have been offered. Just saying that we will not return for awhile.

    Small tables much too close together. Had to almost turn sideways to get thru aisle. Table only barely big enough for 2 dinner plates and 1 bread plate. Lighting so low I had to use phone flashlight to see menu. No bread but 2 biscuits without butter for $7. Food was tasty but extremely overpriced. Kathy was a great waitress, tho

    The hostess and wait staff are amazing. Trinity was our server and she addressed all questions we had. The biscuits appetizer was perfectly sized and great in taste. The sweet au jus that came along side the biscuits was unique and flavorful. Our party had the tea brined chicken and the bruleed ribs. The ribs fell off the bone and were seasoned well. The chicken was crispy but not overly breaded. There wasn't much brined flavor to the chicken, but nonetheless still good. Sides are big enough to be shared family style. The macaroni and cheese and fries were great. The ketchup is made in house. Overall, a great birthday experience!
