    Great atmosphere with a prime location! A large parking lot is across the street. The food is plentiful and well seasoned. Management staff was extremely kind and approachable. I'm very glad we ventured here

    Taste is amazing,we had a great experience there. My wife booked our next visit before we left plus we ordered food to go to enjoy for Super Bowl Sunday. The gumbo tasted like someone's grandmother from New Orleans made. The Taste Breakfast was awesome you are allowed to upgrade your waffles. The cocktails were strong and the coffee selection was fantastic. Our server was Paige and she enhanced our experience. Will definitely be back.

    Absolutely worth the price. The food and drinks are AMAZING. The only thing I’d say it’s pretty loud with people talking and the music playing. But I will definitely be going back! Highly recommend.

    Food was fantastic. Service was good too. The music/ambiance was too loud for us personally. The biggest reason for 3 stars is you have to pay $50 per person to secure a reservation. This was brunch so we couldn't cover the $100 from our brunch order. We ordered food to go to reach the $100. Kinda silly - seems like it should be more of a no-show fee. Parking is a pain too so between parking and the $50 per person, we will pass on returning.
