This was a decent place! I would say average overall! I wany to give the "atmosphere" a 4.5 but it's safe to say a 4! We will continue to explore, but this place is worth giving a try if you haven’t been!

Tiday was my 3rd visit and it will probably be my last. I was greeted pleasantly but told that the usually put parties of one at the bar. I declined and was seated with the comment "just for you". Im 5'4 and my feet dangle and the bar gives a different vibe. It was early buffet and the food was delicious but many items were cold. Maybe the chaffing dishes should be covered to maintain heat. But the shrimp & chorizo seemed as if it was refrigerated and then not reheated long enough. The bangers for me though were the 1.5 hrs table limit and the 20% gratuity added to a BUFFET! Im serving myself! Yes Chris was great & I probably would have tipped her that much but to have it forced upon me ? I want restaurants to start paying their employees a living wage and stop trying to get patrons to give ante up on the back end!

This is the best brunch experience I have had in a minute and Imani made sure to make us all comfortable during our time here. I definitely recommend if you want to have a relax time with your friends for Saturday lunch

Loved the atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and prompt.I love that they let you sample the sweet tea before you order it. They bring out a glass of your beverage so that you can pour your own refill instead of waiting for a waiter to get you a refill on sprite :-)We had a reservation for 9PM. The staff tried to call us to move us up but we were at a symphony and couldn't use our phones. Instead of waiting to hear from us, they automatically moved us to 8:45PM. There is a 15 minute grace period so we got there in the nick of time. That was the only draw back.We were told the kitchen closes at 9:30 so don't make a reservation too close to that time, although there are later times. Maybe that is for the bar.It is cashless and it is on the website and they tell you once you get there as well.Parking is first come first serve but they have reasonable valet. it was only $8My boyfriend had the seafood Piccadilly and mac and cheese and it was so good. I had the chicken and waffles. Be mindful of the chili butter that is on there cause it is hot. It added flavor, just not one I liked. Nothing towards the chef, I just didn't care for it, but my boyfriend smashed it lol. The chicken was seasoned really well.This is definitely a good date night or girls brunch date. Again the staff is so friendly and atmosphere is so cool!

The services was excellent and the food was complex and mouthwatering! Special requests on the food were done exactly as requested! The atmosphere was very good. What a nice experience.

I have mixed feelings about this place. I'll start with the good. Of course there's no parking in the area but valet services is offered for $8. That's worth it in my opinion vs riding around and looping several times to save a few dollars. Once you enter the restaurant, you're greeted by friendly staff members! The decor is unique in a good way, I like it. The Playlist is decent as well. It allows you to vibe but doesn't distract you from having a conversation. Now for the not so good part, our waitress was horrible. We had to repeat ourselves several times, she would repeat the order and forget to tell the kitchen. When you brought it to her attention, she blamed the miscommunication on the kitchen but it was her. Then the kitchen started bringing us items we didn't order. I mean so many times it was uncomfortable. However, the kitchen staff or waitor/waitresses were very kind and apologetic. The seating was very close but no biggie. This restaurant is very expensive, more than you would think. The portion size isn't large by anymeans. The collards was on point!!! I also like the cornbread! The lobster Mac N Cheese was very disappointing. It taste like stovetop stuffing, they should remove the breadcrumbs, frfr. The salmon was decent but didn't meet my expectations. The pasta dish was very flavorful, I liked it better than the salmon. The peach cobbler was not good, very disappointing actually. The banana pudding was a waste of time and money. I spent over $200 here, I expected more. Overall I feel if we had a better waitress my experience could've been better and I would've overlooked something or not feel as harsh as I do. My wife really wanted to try the Red Snapper and she said its no longer available but it's on the menu in 2 different places. Due to our experience, I feel she was lying. Why, I don't know doesn't make sense but they should remove it, if they are no longer offering it. I don't regret visiting and I would tell anyone not to go. Your experience may be different. As for us, we checked it off the list and on to the next!

Great brunch with a unique selection of items from Marcus Samuelson. Cheese eggs, corn meal waffles, fried chicken, boiled shrimp, shrimp gumbo, curry, collard greens, and brisket hash, just to give you an idea of the variety. I tasted all of those, and they were all awesome. I especially enjoyed the waffles with a stewed pear compote, the curry, and the collards! Reservations are highly recommended for brunch, but if you get there early enough, you can sit at the bar, which is first come first served.

Nothing to be crazy about. Food was expensive for mediocre taste. I had a brunch and others had dinner. Burger was the best.

Good service, super friendly waiter, and the manager was so nice. Food was overall fine, nothing impressive for the price, but the real rip were the cocktails. Very overpriced and not worth it. The music was too loud for a restaurant before 9pm on a Wednesday lol. Great music selection though!

The food was great, but service was slow and too many items were over looked. I eventually got what I ordered.

The waitress was amazing. I wish I'd gotten her name but she helped me with the menu and gave great recommendations. Everything was amazing. We had the wings, ribs, mac n cheese, cornbread, and Brussel sprouts. Can wait to return!
