Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The atmosphere was nice and friendly. The server sat us immediately and brought us our drinks with complimentary corn bread. Honestly I could've eaten more but I wanted to save my appetite for the food. The menu has plenty of amazing options to order. For appetizers we ordered chicken and collard greens egg rolls and the catfish nuggets. The catfish was freshly fried and delicious. I ordered the shrimp po boy with sweet potato fries. I was surprised to see that they sprinkled brown sugar on the fries, it was a nice touch. For sides the Mac n cheese and yams were both amazing and seasoned well not overdone. I will definitely return to try options on the menu. The outside display for the business is hard to see, I open they find a solution to help customers to see the restaurant clearly despite being on a busy street."
"Best lamb chops EVER (can’t believe we didn’t take a pic ) plus everything else… what a great place, wonderfully prepared food, yummy apps, amazing service [Emily rocks!], and we were lucky enough to catch extra ambiance with jazzy sax playing throughout our meal. Absolutely loved it!!"
"Kalani and Kat are excellent service. Me and my brother stopped in after a long day at work. As soon as we walked in the door we felt welcomed. We order our food and drinks. We got our drinks immediately and our food came out in less than 15 mins. Those 2 women have exceptional customer service. Definitely deserve a raise!"
"Wow. Just wow. So good, I can't wait to come back to eat my way through the menu! I started with the seafood soup (a bisque) which was topped with their lump crab meat and crab fully integrated throughout the soup. A tad bit salty given that the crab already adds a salty flavor - despite that, it was delicious! Not a huge complaint but just to let you know that their "bowl" is the size of a typical cup. Next up was the Cajun pasta to which I added their crab meat. I asked for the Cajun seasoning on the side in case it was too spicy; it was not, and I had them leave out the bell peppers and onion. Super filling and a creamy delight. The only thing that would have made this did perfect was if it came with a piece of bread to wipe up every last bit of sauce. On the side I then got the collard greens. These were possibly the best collard greens I've ever had! Smoky, rich, so flavorful, with some nice chunks of smoked pork. This is a MUST-ORDER!"
"I love places like this— seems like someone had a dream, and they went after it. People don’t always cook sweet potato fries right, but this place does. People don’t always get salmon right, but this place does. The bites were superb. Couldn’t get a pic fast enough. Hubby said the steak on the sandwich was brilliant! Please add dips to the quesadillas. They were off the charts amazing, but no salsa, guac, sour cream, etc. Blessings to the owners, cooks, and workers. Keep pushing! Been here twice and will return."
"I had several small brunch options. The turkey bacon was delicious crispy, not overcooked.... the fried potatoes were very well seasoned, best I've had in a long time! The pancakes were fluffy, coffee was really great. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Service was nice. It was a bit busy and our server was attentive and funny. Chris gave great recommendations and we were all happy at the end of the meal. *slight construction/repair on the first floor so we ask to be seated in the balcony area. I was told there was banquet space on the third floor but we didn't eat up there.*"
"The bartender Kalani made me the one of the BEST raspberry lemon drops I've ever had. I like sweet drinks normally and forgot to say but once I told her she tweaked my next one and it was 100/10 .I tried the Cajun chicken pasta , got a little extra sauce and it was so good , nice and flavorful , not too salty or bland.It would be nice with some garlic bread. Overall, nice ambiance great service ,tasty food and even better drinks. I will without a doubt be back."
"Loved the Cuban sandwich and Lobster Bisque and the corn was amazing. Will be back. We just stumbled on the place... Who are these men in the Kitchen? Let them cook!"
