   I have had dinner at the Nafsi maybe 9 or 10x. I love the restaurant. Everyone who you encounter have the best attitude, they treat you like, the love you are there. The food and drinks are exceptional. I have more friends to take with me to experience this restaurant. I will continue to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, happy hour & brunch at the Nasfi.

   I really enjoyed it. I’m glad to have this local gem in South shore across the street from my home. I will say, they need to work on their timing with the bar. But it’s a great ambiance. It’s my second time there.

   Management may want to consider customer service training. The staff are very pleasant but there were not enough staff on the floor, and they are not poised in customer service for restaurants. Good young people need training in best practice for wait staff. We should not have to ask for napkins and get a small paper napkin for a cocktail instead of a cloth napkin with silverware. We waited too long for the waitress to come and ask if we wanted drinks. The food arrived in a timely fashion. The eggs were scrambled hard, and we asked for scramble medium. The crab critters were terrible filled with cornbread and very little if any crab and they were dry. The grits were good, but they were blown out and over cooked where they were almost pudding. They had no texture. The people around our table we shared our food with as it was taking too long for their food to arrive. We happen to know them and shared in fellowship with them. It's a new restaurant with potential and a lot to learn.

   I had the catfish and grits and it was awesome. Grits were creamy and catfish was fresh. Lavender mimosa was my favorite. The best mimosa ever. Raspberry vegan cheesecake was just ok. The service isn’t the fastest so have patience. Overall everything was excellent from ambiance, our server, food and drinks. I will definitely return.

   Food is delicious!!. Drinks are also great!!! Not sure if I came on a night when they were short staffed but our server was doing double duty at the bar and “attempting” to serve tables. Needless to say the bar orders took priority and tables were neglected. The owner was there and seemed oblivious to the lack of attention given to the tables. I was able to get his attention to inquire about our order . he was nice and apologized , offered complimentary drinks. I love the place and hope that they get things right and pay attention to customers on days like this.

   It was almost quaint until a ladies retirement party came in. too energetic. i mean, congrats to whoever was having the party but there were other people in the restaurant and all i could hear was what was going on at their tables. the food was great! hush puppies, amazing. french toast, perfection. eggs were even fluffy and tasted like quality ingredients. the biscuits were good. super dense. you could feel the weight of this sizable pastry before you put it to your mouth. the waitress was super knowledgeable and adaptive. i had no idea what i wanted but i was able to tell her what i was in the mood for and she helped me create a brunch i was happy to take home. the only thing i would change is the level of oil or butter or whatever is used in each dish. the buttery taste was making me nauseas after awhile. then again, it could have just been my sensitive stomach. i didn't know what the sample sauces were that came with the meal but i didn't need any of them because the quality of food was definitely hitting my taste buds. if you're the kinda person that needs sauce with your food, you may want to try some of these without them 1st.

    Went there to celebrate a friend's birthday. It started out a little rocky, but then our server Dominique, Manager Zee and Chef Donden made sure our food and service was excellent. I highly recommend this place. The food and drinks were excellent. Plus, it's reasonably price.
