    I had the best time here! We did have to wait 40 min with a reservation but it was well worth the wait. The food was so good I ordered the catfish with Macaroni and cheese and greens and also the chicken and waffles and the wild berry lemon drop! The kitchen and the kocktails were on point. The staff and manager were so nice one of the main reasons I had to leave a review. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

    Cool experience. The waitress must have been busy so the GM waited my table and comped my glass bottle of water. Those bottles run like 16 to $20. I dined alone and spent about $145 which is no problem but expect to spend a little coin. My food was so good.

    I have a 6 o’clock reservation. I arrived on time and wasn’t seated until about 6:40. My service thereafter was really good.  my fried chicken wasn’t the best. It tasted like the oil was burnt and needed to be thrown out.  I don’t think that they were ready for the Thanksgiving crowd.  I’ve been here a few times and gotten the same thing every time and it’s tasted much better before. I’ve also never had to wait that long.

    Customer Service was exceptional. From the Doorman to the server, we were taken care of with so much respect. The food arrive promptly and tasted delicious. We celebrated my daughter’s 15th birthday and she loved it.

    Food and drinks were great, and the DJ downstairs was a great vibe! However they overbooked reservations in which we did not get seated until 2 hours AFTER. The staff was apologetic however it was an inconvenience.

    Disappointed. The food was amazing and the ambiance was picture worthy! But the service and lack of consideration for the bad service superseded the food and decor. I made reservations for my partners 45th Birthday, the reservations were for 9:30 he and I arrived at 9:15 we were told by the hostess to give her 15 minutes. So we sat at the bar after about 45 minutes of waiting we ordered a drink. An hour and 30 minutes later we were asked by others who were waiting if we had made reservations as well. Fortunately the beautiful bartender overheard the conversations and she spoke to the manager finally we were seated. We were even told we only 1.5 hours to dine but the food took so long to come that the waitress advised that we could take our time. Needless to say my reservation request was not made, we ordered a 2nd round of drinks that never came , I could go on and on but this was not good. I will try kitchen and kocktails in Charlotte NC because I refuse to believe this establishment is undeserving of another chance to get it right. Best of wishes to you all!
