   My waitress Mia was absolutely awesome! She was attentive and on point. The food was delicious, some of the best mac-n-cheese I've had in Richmond, somebody had their granny back there!!

   Dope brunch spot in Va! There was a little fishy smell when we arrived but after seeing the menu, it made sense. The French toast was bomb, the crab and shrimp omelette was delishhh! Mimosa flights were A-1 and the music was perfect!

   We were allowed to make reservations twice now on dates the restaurant is not open! The first time it was listed online however today we drove all the way to the restaurant to see they’re closed on Saturday Sunday and Monday.

   I wanted to love this black owned restaurant. Traveled from nyc for my friends birthday. We arrived at our reservation time and it went downhill from there. Placed our order after waiting 30 mins with only water at the table. After 50 mins the polite waitress came back to say no champagne. Not sure why you wouldn’t have enough for brunch that is all day. Ordered another drink and was told they didn’t have that either, but not on the spot . Keeping your waitress informed would cause less of a headache to the customers. After an hour or more was told they didn’t have shrimp. Then after 20 mins no grits. We were about to leave but the waitress said she wanted to comp my dinner. The food when finally received was really good, but the service will make me not return. The waitress did the best she could but the restaurant needs improvement. The manager should of came over to apologize or explain. I was planning to do a highlight Vlog on my social media to give them some free promotion, but unfortunately I can not. I hope they improve because the food was good.

   I suggest eat before you come because they take a hour and a half to bring food .. also when you have a party of 6 or more you have a 2 hour time limit .. how can you have a 2 hour time limit and you take 1 hour and a half to bring food and giving 30 minutes to eat the waitress said we went over our time like no you guys did for us waiting on food… overall it is a great experience I can’t take that away just EAT SOMETHING SLIGHT BEFORE COMING!

   We started with the french toast bites, which were good. For dinner, I had fish, mac and cheese, and cabbage. It was decent but nothing to brag about. The spiked sangria mule drink was not good. The service was a bit slow, but the chill atmosphere made up for the delay in the food and beverages. We are going to give this spot another try.

   I liked the ability to make reservation on line. One person was pleased with the amount of salmon in her salad. I didn’t expect plastic utensils. One of the six people in my party was pleased with her order. I ordered the chili shrimp, it was too much batter and not hot. The concerns were food wasn’t hot, I made the reservation online and wasn’t told your party has one hour 30 minutes after ordering to finish. The front door kept opening due to wind.

    Small place so noise travels and guest can be very loud. Servers were nice and professional. Food and drinks were delicious and came out within a reasonable time. My only problem was I reserved a table and upon arrival my guest and I were seated at the bar. The bar stool had no back and I was very uncomfortable.

    Please note that gratuity is included! We were never shown an actual check at the end to remind us that the gratuity was included. We asked how much and was told $75, then after handing a $100 bill to the sever, we got only $6 and some change back. That’s after we had given additional 20% tip in cash. Then we asked if we could see the check and we were told “it states that gratuity is included on the menu”. Well, it needs to be in bigger print and as a kindness to your guest, show the receipt. I felt swindled and was upset but, didn’t want to ruin my friends birthday celebration

    The food and drinks were great and the staff was very friendly. I had the French toast and it was huge and the bread was soft and flavorful. The eggs were cooked perfectly, not over cooked and dry like most places I’ve been for brunch. The potatoes were well seasoned and perfectly cooked.

    I love the food and the vibe, but wish the experience wasn’t rushed. Their last table time should be adjusted so there won’t be a need to undervalue an otherwise amazing spot. [Unfortunately, having to speed at risk of being kicked out led to me puking up most of what I consumed.] This visit didn’t make me happy about spending over $100 in under an hour.

    Such a great piece of the city experience. This hidden gem is in the center of the city and provides you with a personable RVA experience. The food is delicious and unique and the light hint of music and great service just tops it off. Definitely a must go. Plus, brunch everyday open is a hit!! Very satisfied!! This is Not a paid advertisement either, I’m just honestly this taken away by the ambiance and food.

    I had brunch there for the first time on Sunday and I wasn’t expecting just the brunch menu as the menu pops up on the app so I had my taste buds on dinner items that weren’t available so that was a little disappointing. However, the omelettes were really good, could use some more salt though. The drinks were hit or miss with the martini being amazing and Mule being overly strong, but it may be some people’s thing for stronger drinks. As a bartender myself, I prefer balanced drinks so I’m a little more critical on how well a drink is prepared. The tater tots were hot and fresh, great crunch and those went so well with the omelette. The actual server was the owner, which I missed his commentary on that, my friend had to hip me, but he was very very pleasant, accommodating, and for the most part punctual with the large crowd in there and only him and another staff member there. I’d say they did a great job being friendly with all the traffic. For these reasons, I gave my experience a 4/5 which is very good. I’d visit again if I was in town on a nice warm day and check out the dinner menu next year.

    It was super loud and I went hoarse just trying to speak to my friend in front of me. The space was cramped and definitely not COVID-conscious. We waited about 45 minutes for some french toast. The food was quite good, but it was not worth the wait and the discomfort of yelling to communicate in such a small dining space.

    Was my first time here came in excited but soon realized different. The service was awful waitress barely came to the table. Barely checked on us. Table was dirty and sticky. food took forever to come out & came out very mediocre. Fried chicken from chicken & waffles was over cooked. Waffle was soggy of syrup. Our tables food came out separately. Paid $25 for pitcher of mimosa it might as well have just been juice. Overall i wont be going back again.

    Absolutely incredible food. Waitress was amazing and kind. Checked on us frequently. Two downsides that influenced our rating was the wait for the actual food (order to table), and the music level. For myself and my friend it was so uncomfortably loud that we could not even hear each other and we were sitting face to face. Once again… food was great, so I could see this being a place I would get take-out from vs dine in.
