We found this place on accident and I’m so glad we did! Our waitress was so sweet. She aided me in picking a great brunch meal. I most definitely recommend coming here! Can’t wait to come back.

Went for a work happy hour with my school. The restaurant was clearly unprepared. Nothing was ready when we arrived. No silverware, plates, water, or napkins. When we would ask for dining essentials, a woman was extremely rude to everyone. It was as if it were a nuisance we were politely asking for your job to be done. They ran out of plates and glasses. Then began handing out paper plates and plastic cups. The greens are really just bland kale with tough dry brisket. The potatoes and wings aren’t bad. If it is for an event I suggest anywhere else in the neighborhood.

This place is a rip off! Stopped by for a cup of coffee. The owner Victoria served me coffee that was cold and contained grounds. To make matters worse she was not concerned at all why I didn’t drink it and she charged me $6.50. Needless to say I will not return. Hope she puts the $6.50 to good use because it appears she’s in desperate need for the money.

No idea what the chef put in that mac and cheese but he is GIFTED. The owner is also super friendly. I’m looking forward to coming back soon, I’ve got my eye on that key lime pie

First time day date with hubby. The ambience, and food was superb. It was a very classy, and welcoming environment. The staff makes you feel so good about the overall experience. You have to look no further for your dining experience in the city with quality food, not your average, but definitely your exquisite taste. We will definitely be returning again.

Bad service. The woman clearly had an attitude. It was my first time in the establishment and it will surly be my last. Nothing was prepared. Half of the menu was 86’d and the owner/server clearly is not an hospitable host. She was very mean to me and I don’t know this person. Good Luck!

Victoria is so kind and the food is excellent. I had the shrimp po-boy and wings with Old Bay. Both were excellent. Grilled shrimp, not fried, and the wings were large and fried perfectly. 5 stars.

The woman that served us was really off-putting. It was a Saturday at 1PM & the place was dead empty but somehow our drinks took over 20 minutes for us to get & food took over an hour to come out from the kitchen. Not to mention that it just wasn’t work the price.
