   Had a great dinner here. Laura was so wonderful and attentive. We started with the calamari which was a generous portion size and I loved the aioli it was dressed with. The ribeye was such a great deal as well....cooked perfectly with huge loaded potato and broccolini so I could pretend to be healthy. Left incredibly full and with leftovers.

   This was a pretty horrible dining experience. First of all, we were there for dinner and the place was lit up like a hospital cafeteria. The service was absolutely horrid. Our group was 6 people, and half the entrees came out. We waited 20 minutes before the other entrees came out. It was so awful. The food was pretty good, but it wasn’t good enough to say it was a positive overall experience. We will not be returning.

   Mixed feelings about the restaurant. Upon arrival, we waited several minutes before the host returned to the host area to check in guest. Our server and the food runner were very good, as well as the overall aesthetic. The location of our table lacked sufficient space to pull out the chairs without bumping into the neighboring table and guest. The food was subpar for the price; lacking flavor and seasoning. Based on social media reviews, I expected better. Perhaps it’s a hit or miss situation.

   One of my now go to spots for Happy Hour. They have so many affordable options, especially considering how expensive Wharf prices can be. Kathy and Van were amazing!!! They also let us know that there are some upcoming Happy hour changes that sound super exciting.

   Came to enjoy the Mardis Gras specials after seeing a promo on TV. So glad we did had the shrimp and grits, which was a very generous portion size and incredibly flavorful. Bailey was so helpful and kind pointing out recommendations. Wonderful neighborhood ambiance!

    Had an amazing dinner. This has become one of my go to spots. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Dierdre made amazing recommendations. The Thai She crab soup was phenomenal as was the salmon poke bowl. Love that they have single barrel whiskey picks as well.
