Our group of 6 was treated as valued patrons from our arrival. SCRUMPTIOUS entrees and OUTSTANDING service. It was a whole vibe and the perfect venue for us to celebrate a birthday! We’ll be back!

Took my partner here for his birthday. The service was very attentive and overall food, drinks and dessert were super tasty. I am plant based, he is not and there were good options for both. Also good options for drinkers and NA people alike. It had an intimate art deco vibe without feeling too fancy or pretentious. We’ll definitely go again.

The food was amazing! The calamari was recommended and didn’t disappoint. Our entrees were very large and tasty. Dessert was their butter cake; great finish

The food was amazing! Seasoned and plated well. Everything I had was tasty- Belgian waffle bites with peach cobbler butter, gumbo, shrimp stuffed with crab, and the Madame Butterfly cocktail. Highly recommend to go for the Sunday chef menu. I’ll be back to try the gumbo pot pie!!

I was pleased with the level of service and the food quality. We ate around 1:30 pm so it was quiet and peaceful, and we were able to engage in a normal volume conversation. I have visited this restaurant several times and each time, I have been pleased with the food quality and service, even though the service does not come with a smile or conversation. But service is efficient.
