    I was a bit taken aback with the purse check as I entered and my significant other being patted down. The service and food were subpar, but the ambiance was nice. I enjoyed the violinist!

    I love it here! My go to place just to get out the house. But I am disappointed that they took all the biggest hits off the menu. But nevertheless it’s still a great place to chill and eat and enjoy

    Mary was very kind and friendly. We enjoyed the accommodation and the preliminary call from Taylor. Food was very good. Parking was very limited.

    The entire dining experience was amazing. From the hostess to the DJ. The food was excellent! Chef’s kiss. We had smoked turkey leg with Alfredo, spinach and tomatoes. Also had the catfish and fries. Chef’s kiss again. Mocktails and cocktails both top tier. Finally, Our waitress A’more was THEE BEST! We will be back.

    I was shocked by how empty it was on Thursday evening but my service was great. Beautiful host greeted us at the door promptly and nicely. Really set the tone from the beginning. My server was very polite professional and the manager brought over a birthday shot. The food could have been better chicken wings were over cooked with hardly any sauce and the macaroni and cheese was soup. Wish the egg rolls weren’t so dry either, but I would give them another chance

    Work on organization. Too many waitresses giving different information regarding second reservations for entertainment. Other than that, I enjoyed everything else

    Overall the food was good. Our sever was nice, our food came out and we waited 20 min for syrup, therefore our waffles got cold. We talked to the manager and he made it right on the bill, but we were still charged 20% gratuity per check. We also had a carafe’ of mimosa each, once we completed our drinks it was basically all juice.

    When arriving to the restaurant I was a bit lost. I’ve seen it a few times and never knew this was the place. Great spot in Houston. The parking situation wasn’t bad but it could youse some work on space availability. The food was good. I have the Oxtail Egg rolls and Wings. There was a zydeco band and I enjoyed it. If you want to see the band pick a seat in the inside. You won’t be able to see if you sit on the patio. It was busy so I knew my server would be a little behind but it took a while to get things like napkins and refills in water. Other than that I had a great time! You should definitely check this place out.
