The food? Absolutely on point. Every dish was flavorful, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. You can tell they take pride in both the kitchen and the overall experience. The drinks were strong, crafted perfectly, and complemented the menu well.

The staff was attentive, professional, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. It’s the perfect spot for date night, celebrating with friends, or just enjoying good vibes in a relaxed, sophisticated setting. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!“

“First time there. Was packed but offered inside seating to wait for outside seating, ended up at the bar. Guy next to me told about a dish not on the menu, tried it- very good. Good margaritas. Budget friendly“

“This was the Shrimp and crab cake benedict over cheesy grits. The shrimp were plump, the crab cakes were packed with crab meat. Everything about this dish was 😘🤌🏾. Also, they serve fresh squeezed OJ which I appreciate.

This place gets busy. Although my party didn't have to wait to be seated around 11 am, as we were leaving around Noon, we noticed quite a few people waiting to be seated.“

“Julian was hands down the best bartender and 2 Shaun‘s. Julian took the time to explain all the food and drink options. I was unsure of what I wanted he recommended and I ordered what he suggested The best onion soup that I’ve had in a long time Everything was excellent. Can’t wait to return.“

“This place was a vibe. I just went this past Thursday to see Still familiar and a time was definitely had. Our waitress was amazing. When I tell you she knows how to please her people that’s an understatement. I wish I could remember her name(I’m so blown I forgot it. We was at table 17) My sister said she think it’s Bre. I promise I don’t remember, but seriously she was amazing. Please tell her that we truly appreciated her service that night. We ordered 2 orders of wings, bang bang shrimp, yams, green beans(they were better with salt and pepper added to them). The food was good. Especially those habanero wings😋😋.
The section outside was the cherry on the top. I think the guy said he calls it “The Cut”. Music playing, you can buy a cigar and just chill out back there while vibing to the music. I was just singing not smoking but it was still real chill and nice. This was my 1st time here but I will definitely be back. See yall soon❤️“

“Went on a Sunday for brunch. The food was delicious! I tried two different types of deviled eggs. The mimosas were perfect! The staff and chef were very friendly. Besides my friend and I there were only 2 other customers. Not sure if it was just a slow Sunday but hopefully the business picks up, definitely will go back“
