Lovely spot with great service - all employees were friendly and helpful. Etouffee dumplings were amazing and I wish we had ordered some of the other ones also! My only complaint is that half the dishes were much too sweet (Brussel sprouts starter, especially) and since I was with my friend who's diabetic, this limited what she could eat. Given this, I think this spot is cute, especially for a younger crowd.

Th waiters took forever trying to figure out amongst themselves who would be serving my friends and I. We waited at least 10 minutes before someone finally came and spoke, and that’s only because my friend had to flag someone down. Appetizers and drinks took a while to come. Appetizers were tasty however. Entrees came in which I ordered the hangover soup. Started off great and full of favor and as I ate more, I discovered a piece of hair in my food. Completely unacceptable. Won’t be visiting any time soon. Tried to give this restaurants a 2nd chance bc the first time I visited was during the Frankie Beverly concert of May 2024, so I expected a little bit of slower service. This time however it wasn’t nearly as packed/busy and everything still took forever. You can’t have all of these rules about the bill not being able to get split or automatically adding gratuity for 2+ people as well as high price points for the appetizers and drinks and then out out this kind of service. Hopefully this gets better.

Waitress was non-experienced . Food was mediocre. I was not expecting this experience. Waitress told me to add the bill and split it amongst ourselves. The Ramen was terrible. It taste like packed noodles.

The hostess asked if we had a reservation. When we said no, she told us it would be a 30 minute wait, but there were seats at the bar. We were hungry and it was already 9:00pm so we headed to the bar, passing multiple empty tables. After checking OpenTable, we made a reservation. The hostess seemed less than thrilled when I walked back and said I now had a reservation. We never did see any other customers come in and sit at any of the open tables so not sure why it would have been a 30 minute wait. As for the food, the crab dip was awesome, but the Korean fried chicken was average and my friend didn’t like the seafood pasta.

Our waitress was unpleasant, not attentive and I felt as if she purposely did not give me my receipt until I asked for it because an automatic gratuity had been added and I gave her an additional tip not knowing which she DID NOT deserve! I noticed how helpful and pleasant the waitress was next to us she was truly a people person. The food was very salty! I had the crawfish etouffee dumplings, the seafood ramen pasta and an order of chicken fingers and fries. The chicken fingers and fries were the best! We also had 2 margaritas and for $177.00 that totally wasn’t not worth the price!! Needless to say I won’t be returning. And our waitresses name was Shawnie T
