   I ordered as to-go, so my review is from that perspective. I ordered the ribeye (wasn't a thick cut) collards and sweet potato fries. I requested medium well, but I feel it cas cooked well. They packed my fries with the collards and meat in the same tray, which resulted in my fries being soggy. The egg rolls were tasty, but they too were a bit soggy and greasy. My husband really enjoyed the shrimp and grits.

   My wife and I celebrated our 15th Anniversary and we really enjoyed our dinner. The vibe of the entire restaurant was great and the food was amazingly delicious. We definitely will be revisiting soon…

   Dinner was fantastic! We ordered the filet mignon and it was seasoned and cooked perfectly! The crab cakes were delicious, the service was very good and the ambiance was nice too. We'll be back for brunch and date night!

   The food was amazing but unfortunately our service just fell short. We ordered an appetizer that never came. When we reminded our waiter he seemed annoyed and told us he’d take it off our bill. We assumed this meant that it would still be coming out but it never did. We were also brought a completely different entree and again our waiter seemed upset when we pointed out that it wasn’t the correct meal and that it was a way more expensive order. It was not until the manager came to our table that we told her and were able to get our appetizer and our entree corrected. It was just an extremely unfortunate and unpleasant experience especially since it was valentine’s day as well as my birthday. I think this could be a great restaurant but our waiter just completely ruined our experience (I believe his name was Sean). He even came back to our table after we spoke to the manager and said “i guess you talked to my manager” sounding extremely annoyed. Definitely the worst service i’ve ever received.

   First time going to this place. The food was ok. The portions are smaller than I expected. Friday nights are karaoke nights and Valentine’s Day fell on a Fridays the singing was terrible and the place was rather loud. I wouldn’t recommend for a nice date night. It was more of a bar than a restaurant. No coffee but they do have tea packs.

   The Black Bass was delicious and the side was just as good. Service was good and we were late but still was able to eat.

   We had a9:30 reservation, however they closed at 10pm. We were rushed to order but the food was great. We called ahead to ensure everything was ok. The server gave the cook a heads up that we were the last table and was almost at the restaurant. When we arrive she greeted us with a smile escorted us to our seat and we began to order. Food was great

   I didn’t know about or care to experience karaoke night but was sat next to the bar. It seems the waitress should’ve confirm my preference for our reservation.

    My overall experience here was good. The occasion was a first date. Our waitress was friendly and brought the food & drinks out quickly. I ordered the sea bass with fried rice & collards. Food could have been seasoned more- it was pretty bland. Collards were overcooked (mushy). And the piece of sea bass was very thin, not much "meat".
