    Downpours were causing us to be late - since they have a 10 min grace period, I called to let them know we would be about five minutes late. I was informed that the reservation system had been down for at least two weeks and they were on a first come, first serve basis. The place was empty with one other table when we arrived. Music was blaring usually wouldn’t bother me but when you have a party of three, and you have to repeat yourself to talk… Unnecessary. We were super excited about the menu as it was our first time. I ordered the chicken and waffles with Champagne. The chicken was hot, but waffles came out cold and not crisp. The brownie was dry. Our server was good, the food was just meh. Maybe it was an off-night… but you only get one time to make a first impression.

    Tina, our server, set the bar very high for others in terms of her professional and personal interactions with us. She gave us an excellent experience and made our evening very special. Overall, we enjoyed our visit with the restaurant.

    Great experience! The food was delicious. Wish the chicken for my Cesar salad was a little more seasoned. They were offering complimentary charcuterie which was a nice touch and had a DJ. It was quite loud and I wasn’t expecting that. Service was great.

    Always good. Love the vibe, but love the chicken more. Mimosas had a good kick. Nice to have ones that aren’t primarily juice.
