    Very cool restaurant, great location for an unconventional Thanksgiving dinner. The shrimp and grits were delicious. The multi floor concept was an experience none of us had ever seen before. Would definitely eat here again.

    Delicious food. Great service. We enjoyed the boom boom shrimp, the smoked Gouda grits, and the Cajun mahi mahi.

    The Diner is always our choice on symphony nights. Service is prompt, the food is good, and it’s easy to make a reservation.

    Great location. Service was fine but we did have to ask for water refills a couple times and no one inquired about a second glass of wine or a second cocktail. Also we told the server we were splitting the meal but they didn’t provide a second plate. Had to use tiny bread plates to spit food. Food was good but not great. We will go back, but it’s not a MUST go place.

    The creole mahi mahi was bland. I rarely salt food in restaurants, but I used a generous amount of salt and pepper. The grits they were served on also lacked flavor. The green beans were decent. For $28, it should have been much tastier. The service was great, and I like the ambience, but I won't go back. There are too many other great choices nearby.
