    They only had one waitress for the whole restaurant. Our food took 45 minutes and the waitress was so busy that she really couldn’t give us attention. The food was really spicy. Very hot!!! Just a big disappointment especially since it was my birthday.

    Was excited for this experience. Reservation was for 9am. Hostess & server greeting was luke-warm on arrival and someone was cleaning the mirrors above the booth bench where we were being seated. I came for an oxtail dish and it didn’t disappoint although it was just warm not hot. Only regular coffee available which was just okay. The food was good but the staff seemed like it was too early for them to be working which took away from the overall experience.

    We were seated immediately for our 5:30pm appointment. However, after waiting close to 20 mins for a waitress the young man cleaning the tables noticed we hadn’t been approached so he went looking for help, which was very kind. He eventually found someone to wait on us. We ordered drinks that arrived when our meals were almost done after we asked about them. The wings were delicious, they were out of deviled eggs (I started to call to ask what they were out of before arriving based on reviews). The seafood fried rice was excellent, oxtails and grits not good. They no longer have beignets but they’re still on the menu. The bread pudding was also really good. The waitress was great once she arrived and the guy who helped us apologized profusely. Also the table near ours wasn’t cleaned so it was an eyesore during our meal. So would I return, no I would not. I need a cleaner looking establishment and much better service.

    We had reservations but had to wait 45 mins to be seated for a party of 4. The food came out about an hour and 30 mins. It was very noisey in the place you couldn’t hear the person sitting across from you could have turned down the volume with the live entertainment. Ran out of some choices we wanted to try. Food was good I probably will try it again on a different day and early in the morning. Sunday was awful

    The restaurant itself is nicely decorated. Our drinks we delicious and at $17 did not disappoint on the impact. The French toast I had the icing and syrup on the side to control sugar calories. It was delicious by itself didn't need the icing. The bacon was delicious. The cronut was to sweet to make it a sandwich was not our favorite.

    Service from the waiter and busgirl were great! Food took long to come out, so our duration for the meal was over an hour. Waiter did keep checking in with us. The other thing was that my Chef Omelette meal was supposed to come with potato hash. Instead I got small potatoes. I completely forgot until I was back at home. I’ve decided I’m no longer getting drinks at the restaurant. A blood Mary cost me $18. They charged me $15 because I chose Tito’s. Really?! Never again.

    The food must be good because it’s always packed but it’s not for me. I got the breakfast club sandwich. It comes on a cronut which in theory sounds good but I don’t like soggy donuts so it threw me off. I just ate the blanket of eggs and chicken sausage. It was too much eggs for the palm sized cronut. The diced potatoes were seasoned well and filling. The orange juice had a ton of pulp; not my preference. I had pineapple juice which was very good. Overall, it was okay but not worth the hype to me.

    What a way to ruin Mother’s Day! Upon sitting the the very loud restaurant, we were greeted almost instantly by the waitress & asked to put in drinks, which we did. Should’ve known to leave when the waitress didn’t know what my husband meant by “what do you have on tap”. Shortly after, we placed food orders only to be told they were out of 4 items. Great - we adjusted and ordered something else. Minutes later, we were then told they weren’t cooking anymore grits for the night. We decided it was best to leave as we were limited to breakfast items at 8:30pm. Only to be slapped with a $35 bill for 2 drinks - actually one lemon drop & a beer. The 18% gratuity was ridiculous for someone that just pushed buttons for a drink & a beer. And when offering to make a lemon drop a flavor, the waitress should’ve informed me that it was an extra charge. Next time, inform customers that you’re done making half of the menu before seating them.

    My mother and I came here on Mother’s Day for an 8 pm reservation and when we sat down we were told the restaurant was out of lamb chops, steak and lobster rolls. After we were informed we decided to just get up and leave, there was no point in staying after that. The items that we wanted to eat weren’t available.

    Food was fantastic. The wait to get the food was a little long. Oxtails and grits were absolutely amazing! My mom’s omelette with crab was even better. I think it just may be a staffing issue, that everyone is dealing with. It was extremely noisy on a Friday afternoon and couldn’t really hear the amazing 90s R&B playlist in the background. Seems like an acoustics issue. Maybe padding the walls would help? I can’t imagine what weekend brunches are like. I would definitely come midweek. Would I go back? Absolutely!

    With reservations the food arrived late. On top of that, due to the noise level the waitress did not place the correct order for my son. We ordered blueberry pancakes. Instead we rcvd burnt pancakes with blueberries on the side. My son did not touch those pancakes. My French toast was burned but I ate them anyways b/c I was Starving & I did not want to wait another 30 minutes for something that takes less than 30 minutes to make. The only great thing was the ox tail. The ox tail fell off the bone! Love that. Unfortunately the rice was overly seasoned but lacked salt. After getting boxes for the burnt pancakes & ox tail I had to wait 15 minutes for the check… If I return, it will be with an adult. The establishment does not have a booster seat for kids. The waitress was sweet & kind, but punctuality was not her strong point. I would not recommend this place until it gets better. It has the potential.

    The atmosphere was awesome with live jazz music. We did reservations and our table was ready when we arrived. We ordered the oxtail & grits and it was very spicy. The menu did not mention it was spicy and that needs to be changed so that customers will know. I did not like that they added an automatic 18% to the bill because our waitress was not good and did not earn an 18%. Our waitress was the light-skined lady who was working the bartender and she was clearly more concerned with her bar customers and left us for long periods of time; therefore, she should not have gotten an automatic 18%, not fair.

    First , make a reservation because the restaurant is small & intimate and gets crowded quickly. For me, the brunch time visit was better because the volume in the restaurant was not excessively loud as the evening meal. Second, the food was good but the menu is a little limited. They do however give generous portions. Third, the service was good and the hostess very knowledgeable and attentive. Lastly, I would go back again but definitely during the day . It is a nice place to try and support.

    First off get Janice for your waitress, she’s AMAZING!!! Good customer service, personality great, attention to detail on point. Now let’s get to the rest, ambiance was nice, music selection great. It’s not a super huge place however you don’t feel like you’re sitting on top of people. They do have a “90 min” seating limit so I would make sure your entire party is present and ready to be seated. Food was great, seasoned well, good portions and prices matched. Drinks were good as well. I’ll definitely be returning whether for brunch or for dinner.
