   First and last visit. Poor service and mediocre food. $30 for fried wings with instant greens and okay mac and cheese. Server never checked on us. Disappointed

   Very good dining experience. A bit intimidated by the pricey dinner menu. Understandably as food prices are high so we elected to go mid-day. Brunch specials were reasonable. Service was good. Seems like we came at the right time as it began get crowded around 1PM. Only complaint, if that, is silverware bundle did not include spoons. Not a big deal but other patrons like us asked for spoons as well. I had a jones for something fried and got the side of four wings. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. I liked the fact they did not try to get too fancy with the batter…which can be a turn off of me. Side of greens with smoked turkey was great. Usually most restaurant greens are too bitter and salty. Not these and no additional seasoning was necessary. Had the shrimp and grits. Nice and creamy. And they did not skimp on the portions. Again, overall good experience. Definitely will go back. Great addition to the burgeoning Hyde Park restaurant scene.

   I made a noon reservation and arrived at 11:45am and the restaurant doors were not open. I called and was told the doors open at noon. We left and came back at noon and the doors still were not open. We waited outside in the cold for about 2mines until the host opened the door. I quickly forgot about the doors when I bit into the medium well jerk lamb chop. I ordered Oxtail and grits with a side of candy yams and cabbage as my entre’… OMG! The food was amazing! My guy ordered chicken and waffles, there was nothing left on his plate but bones. The service was great! 20% gratuity was included in the check. We will be back!

   The food was delish! The ambience was nice. The waiters need to be a little friendlier and neater. The lady at the front was very nice, helpful and friendly . A little more training on the waiters and the cleaning and this place is 5 star.🙂

   Food was excellent. Service wasn’t good. We had a reservation, and people came in after us and finished their food before our food was even served to us. Stop being cheap and hire more servers. The bartender should not have to service the bar and the dining room. It took 15 minutes for our server to come by and take our drink order. Also, teach your hostess customer service skills and the proper way to greet customers.

   I had a horrible experience here. Service was slow and food was not great. Hope to speak to upper management about my group experience.

   Over all experience food was very greasy and service was ok over all was disappointing since I’ve heard so much about the place I’d thought I’d try it for an after work vibe and definitely disappointed. The place is byob but the menu has various drinks options that they don’t offer , they only offer water . Just so you know in case anyone wants to check them out as I did after wk .

    The food was great, by them recently opening, they don’t have a liquor license yet….so it’s BYOB. Only negative thing we didn’t like is there’s a 20% gratuity charge for 2 or more people. Gratuity for 2 people is crazy.
