   Great job by Talula’s today. We come back again and again. They had my table that I requested in advance. Food was great. Kate was our server and she did a fabulous job. All good!

   The food is amazing making it worth the cost as a special treat. The lady sitting next to us (close quarters) actually goes there every day.

   Chilly by the main window. Definitely impacted our table’s enjoyment. Great salads. Mains were fair to good. Drinks good but not cheap. Would go again when the weather improves.

   Cozy little restaurant, decent cocktails. Food was unexceptional. Starters you could find at any mid level bar-resturant and the entrees were ok at best. Scallop and shrimp risotto - shrimp was cold and dry. Short rib polenta - rib was fatty and polenta was lumpy. I’ll say it tasted fine, but nothing special and with some specific issues in preparation/execution. Desserts were the best part of the meal. Overall it’s worth a (one) visit, nice space, good cocktails, just don’t expect anything exceptional on the food front and you won’t be disappointed.

   The food and drinks were terrific, and the waitstaff were very attentive and helpful. The managers were also very thoughtful as we celebrated a special occasion.

   Came for Sunday brunch with a friend. Got there 1/2 hour early and had cocktails at the bar (beekeeper and bloody mary--both delish). Super friendly staff. Brunch itself very tasty--loved the shrimp and grits

    We arrived for a 915pm reservation. The restaurant was extremely busy and a little behind on the table, so we went to the bar for a drink. The drinks were amazing and staff friendly. When the table was ready, we were seated promptly and met by a manager who politely apologized for the delay. This would have been good enough, but the restaurant went above and beyond and offered us a free order of their biscuits, which were very delicious. We continued our meal with the meatball appetizer, which was phenomenal. For a main course, we chose the shrimp and scallop meal and the chicken and gnocchi. Both were superb, and the portions were very satisfying. After dinner, we were asked about dessert, to which we declined as we were so full from our meal. However, the surprises were not over as we were given an order of complementary donuts, which I assume was also because of our extended table wait upon arrival. As full as we were, we decided to try the donuts, and we are so glad we did. Extremely tasty. The restaurant was gorgeous, the food outstanding, but the service really stood out as top notch. For the manager to offer us some complementary goodies for our table wait, which we were not even complaining about, just shows the level of care and professionalism this establishment commits to. We would recommend anyone to try this fantastic restaurant.
