   Waitress accidentally mixed up our check w another of her tables. Ours was about 2x the other table, and they paid and left before us. One of our party knew someone at the other table. When it was time for us to pay the waitress realized her error and came to tell us that since the other table paid our check, we can pay theirs and it’s a deal since theirs is less. We had to decline and insist on paying our own bill and making sure that the other table was refunded for their overpay. Unprofessional and uncomfortable knowing that her first solution was to leave a group over-charged. She eventually sorted out after we suggested she check w her manager for how to handle this. We shouldn’t have ever even known the issue.

   Great menu and excellent execution. We had had too many recent desserts so could not indulge but it was the best dessert menu we’d seen in some time. I had the Scottish salmon… excellent with outstanding cilantro rice. Yum!

   My first visit there and there was a very strong smell of sewage in the restaurant. The food was all right. Server was great. Might give it another try.

   Took about 10 minutes for someone to come by and greet us and provide water to the table. Must of been tap water because it tasted poor. Food was mediocre at best. Got Chicken Milanese which was extremely bland, no flavor. Also got Bolognese which had an odd unexpected smoky/sweet flavor to it. Overall pretty mediocre restaurant, wouldn’t go back again.

   This was my second time eating here. The first time was two weeks prior and I’d have rated the food 5 star on that visit. However this time one of the same dishes we’d ordered previously (the weekend “special” of blackened drum fish) tasted as if it had been prepared by a different chef. It was not at all blackened, had no seasoning whatsoever and the texture and taste was not as fresh. And the accompanying sauce was entirely different: a tomato type sauce which didn’t complement the fish nearly as well as the previously prepared lemon cream sauce. My son ordered the Texas Wagyu steak, which he found to be not very tender, although he very much enjoyed the potatoes and onion rings that accompanied it. My daughter loved the butternut squash soup, which I found to be too sweet for my taste, and her friend loved the pasta with bolognese sauce. Overall I’d say the food was inconsistent but I still plan to return and try other menu options, given how much I love the comfortable yet chic atmosphere and the super friendly and accommodating staff.

   The entire team was terrific! We loved the environment, and the food was delightful! The team took great care of our group by anticipating our needs and impeccable timing when checking in on us throughout our visit. Without a doubt, we will be back soon!

   First visit here and we will be back. Great food, chill ambiance and some of the better cocktails we have ever had. Our server, Raneal, was on point at every step. Our table started with the Whipped Feta and Falafel Fritters. Our dinners were the Beet salad, Texas Wagyu Steak, Wild Mushroom Ravioli, N’Awlins Shrimp & Grits, and the Fesenjoon. For desert, we tried the Crème Brûlée Brownie and Seasonal Crumble. It was all delicious!
