A friend and I came here for brunch and the atmosphere was just perfect. Shout out to all of the staff working on New Year’s because they were all so nice and helpful and really helped create a great experience! It was the perfect way to start the year. Shoutout to Alex and Luke. They’re the best.

PJ our waiter was fantastic! He was hands down one of the best waiters I have ever had at any restaurant. He came by just the right amount of times and made an adorable sign for our anniversary! He also gave us a card for our anniversary with a drawing of my husband and I! He said art was his hobby. Amazing man and a great experience. We will be back! On top of that everything the food was amazing. Everything we ate was incredible - so hats off to the hard working chefs who made our four course meal come to life!

Mostly good. The food was great, but was delayed a lot more than we would expect. One of our orders was what was a "small salad" on the menu, but the salad that was served was large - the bill said so too. The server was very good to begin with, but half way through, he seemed to have lost interest in us. Don't know why that might have been. The tables were a bit too close to each other. A bit more spacing/ better layout would make the ambience a bit better. Overall, good. We will visit again.

Excellent food. We are big Sullivan’s fans. Unfortunately, the waiter strongly recommended the Wagyu 18 oz bone in steak. It just wasn’t very good. Great taste but very fatty and greasy for a $69 steak. I had the strip MR and it was perfect.

My wife is a celiac and unfortunately when they brought a chicken sandwich instead of chicken on the salad, they just took the chicken off the bun and put it on a new salad. The gluten from the bun made her sick.

Went to Ko An for Triangle restaurant week. We really liked their selections on the fixed price menu. I appreciated that the mixed drinks could be made without alcohol. From the restaurant week menu, we ordered the root vegetable salad and the dragon roll for our first course. For our second course, we ordered the black tea chicken entrée and the miso udon noodles (spicy!). For our third course, there were two dessert choices, and we sampled both. We enjoyed all of our food choices. They were delicious. Our server was very efficient. The food came quickly and the presentation was beautiful. Looking forward to a return visit.

I always enjoy their shrimp and grits with a nice mimosa craft. Good portion size bloody marys also. However service is always particularly slow I was there on a rainy slow day and food took forever to come out. Even when the food was eaten we waited a while to have to ask to receive our checks. Also finding parking is another pain point so be prepared to pay which would be your best choice ( they dont validate). Overall I really enjoy this place just wish for faster service but I understand things happen

I tried some thing I had never eaten there before, and it was outstanding. I have my favorites that I usually get over and over, but this was a big treat. This is always our go-to for out of town guests, and it impresses every time. So naturally, we came here for our own personal private celebration, and it was quite special. Highly, highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing food with a cool, artsy vibe. Classy touches everywhere and bonus points for life size pink penguin statue. The “small” plates were actually quite large; we definitely got more food than we could handle. Highly recommend this place for a unique spin on some southern, Americana classics.
