I was able to pre celebrate my birthday. The area was very nice, ambience was great. Loved the playlist while everyone and Jame and eat while still having class. Food was surprisingly great although not hot as I would like but no major complaints. Drinks were great as well. Our waiter was excellent and even surprised me with a birthday dessert and sparklers which I was not expecting. I will return back for sure. I initially was scheduled to have my dinner on that Saturday but was cancelled with no notice so I did have to call and find out why which the young lady was able to tell me that someone had booked the entire restaurant. It would have been nice if the reason could have been included or a posting on one of the social media accounts … and then perhaps some type of accommodation or free item for the inconvenience.

Great service and loved the menu choices. Everyone was happy with their meals and the portion size was great. It was a 12 min walk to the AAC so not a bad choice for a pre-game dinner

This was our first time here. This place was amazing. We came for brunch. Our server was amazing. We had a party of 6. Me and another guest had Fried Chicken and Waffles. It was the bomb. We tried the crème burlee waffles. Also amazing. Another guest had the Chicken biscuit sandwich. It was huge and looked appetizing. When we are back in Dallas we will be coming here again.
