    Our server (Aisha?) was outstandingly friendly. Food was fantastic. Hubby had Bloody Mary that he said was wonderful. Son had lamb chops and shared a bite - maybe the best ones ever. Chicken and waffles were great - pro tip - ask for a side of hot honey. Shrimp and grits met our Louisiana standards. Sides were delicious as well - okra, Mac and cheese, cornbread. Definitely a vibe for brunch with a DJ and mimosa bottle service. Nice casual and fun.

    Absolutely beautiful abeyance for our Birthday Celebrations🔥 The steak, smoke experience ribs, crispy Brussel sprouts and the short ribs were AMAZING! The atmosphere was delightful.. very inviting and picturesque. We will return🥰🩷 One shortfall the Mac and cheese was not the greatest. The blend of cheeses did not taste authentic..a little gritty😞

    I brought my family here to celebrate a birthday and it was fantastic. The staff is friendly and our server, Ayana was friendly, fast and thoroughly explained the menu and answered all of our questions. The food was fresh, well seasoned and hot. We ordered the skillet cornbread, halibut, redfish, short rib and lamb pasta. Everyone at the table raved about their dishes. I had the lamb and it was slightly too salty for my liking but otherwise very good. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant and suggest making reservations since the venue is small.
