   Overall good location and nice vibe. It was busy and service was on the slower side. Our waitress was nice. I did not realize it was part hookah lounge. There was a forced 20% gratuity.

   The service is not worth the automatic gratuity added to the bill no matter table size. We made reservations but upon walking into the establishment we were advised to seat ourselves anywhere we’d like. The music was so loud that my bestie and I could hardly hear each other as well as the waiter had a hard time hearing us. The waiter was also responsible for making our drinks since there wasn’t a bartender yet. The overall establishment seemed to be disorganized, understaffed and lacking attention to detail.

   The food was delicious. It was fresh and made to order. The deviled eggs were splendid and the biscuits are some of the best we’ve ever had. The drinks are unique and tasty.

   FRNDS is a vibe for any time. Girls night out, date night, or just dinner for the family. You will never go wrong with choosing FRNDS. From the concierge when you walk up to the wait staff and the managers who walk around to every table making sure your night is nothing less than amazing. Let’s not forget the best part, the food, omg the flavors the presentation the way it makes your tummy and heart smile you will never regret coming to FRNDS.

   I have been to Frnds multiple times and every time I go, I feel like the food gets better and better! They don’t skip out on taste at all! We got to meet the chef that cooks on the weekends during brunch and he was so nice! Along with all the staff and manager.

   Absolutely amazing! 10 stars The oysters were ten out of ten. The drinks were ten out of ten. The waiters, literally everything was perfect. I’ve never been to a restaurant where I was all the way pleased. But this was it!

   The ambiance was seductive and dimly lit, making it perfect for a date night. We started with drinks, which were excellent. For appetizers, we had the oysters, which I’d rate a solid 7, and the corn ribs, which were decent. However, the $46 lamb chops were extremely disappointing—while they were tender, the flavor was lacking, and the gravy just didn’t work. My friend tried the deviled eggs, and they were just okay. Overall, I’d recommend this spot for drinks or happy hour because the ambiance and music were great, and the interior is super cute. But the food didn’t do it for me, and with a small menu, there aren’t a lot of options to choose from.

   Ive been here 3 times and every time the service here gets worse and worse. I really try giving other chances because the food is delicious, however the lack of service time and lack of attention from their staff is ridiculous. I was told at my 2pm reservation after we waiting 25 mins and NO-ONE even offered water that our service was slow because they only had two people of staff there. Thats very unacceptable! And to top it off it was only 9 parties there with mine. I hate that the slow service is going to push a customer away because the food is actually good.

    I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant, especially considering it was meant to be a birthday celebration. The food was terrible. I ordered the pineapple chicken, and it tasted like the chicken was boiled, then grilled, and burned in the sauce. The mashed potatoes were clearly instant, and the greens tasted like plain greens drowned in spinach dip. The service was just as bad. Despite having a reservation at 10 PM, they were not ready, and I wasn’t seated until 30 minutes later. On top of that, the atmosphere was completely off. The DJ played nothing but breakup songs, which felt entirely inappropriate, especially since I didn’t attend an R&B night. Overall, this was an unpleasant and depressing experience. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, and I certainly won’t be returning. For what was supposed to be a special occasion, it turned out to be a major letdown.
