   Great place in DTLA with great dishes you won’t felt elsewhere. Owners were so nice and accommodating. A gem downtown.

   All the food was amazing but price was a little too much for the portion size.

   Loved it! We were able to reserve a party of 11 for a Sunday afternoon at 1p. So I loved that we could do that via OpenTable. There is an open and airy ambiance, and the decor is somewhat neutral and soft. Nick was our server and was great. We did have to wait a bit, but it wasn't an uncomfortable or overly long wait between his visits. It also appeared that he and maybe 1 or 2 servers were handling the entire place. We ordered a plethora of items to start, and they were all excellent; cornbread, biscuits, and fried green tomatoes. The condiments for the biscuits were a little iffy, primarily because the jelly is a spicy/sweet combo that a few of us did not enjoy. The sparkling wine / champagne used for the mimosa had a good taste to it and did not give us headaches, so that's a plus! The OJ and pomegranate I've cubes were an excuse touch as well. I will say the entrees fell short for many of us. We had chicken and waffles, French toast and shrimp and grits. Everyone said these items were just okay, which was a little surprising considering how good our starters were. The chicken was a little dry and locked seasoning. The waffle had something missing - it was too oily for some reason and lacked flavor. The French Toast had a hard consistency and did not have much flavor either. One person did enjoy the sausage, gravy, and biscuits. The portion looked small, but he said it was fine. It came with 4 of the same bite-sized biscuits used for the starter. We also ordered the mac n cheese, and it was top-notch! I've never had chives in my Mac n cheese, but it worked. It comes in a small cast iron skillet and was hot! Overall, excellent dish. The greens were just okay. All in all, we had a great experience and would still go back, despite the entree let down. A few in our party have visited before and noted this visit fell short of their prior experiences, so we'd have to give it another shot. This is worth a try!

   Had a great experience at Joyce with our amazing server Jade. Guest chef Rashida Holmes from “Bridgetown Roti” greeting our table was icing on the cake. Will for sure host events here in the future.

   First visit, shared 6 dishes with another couple. Couldn’t finish it all. Everything was delicious, the vibe was just right, and we didn’t want to leave. Looking forward to next time.

    Service was slow considering there was only 1-2 other parties. Our hush puppies were unfortunately very dry in the inside and we all did not taste much crawfish. The shrimp and grits were bland. The Nashville cat fish and corn bread were good though.
