Amazing southern style food with beautiful ambience and interior. Came here before a show at the Orpheum. It was Christmas time and they had holiday themed cocktails that came in Christmas mugs and glasses. Service was excellent! Will come back again.

We were greeted by the friendly hostess and seated promptly in a comfortable area. Our waitress, Jamelah came right over to take care of us. Our orders were placed and our group of 7 was served in a short time. It was a first visit for some and everyone was satisfied with their choices. Some placed orders to go for family members. Excellent menu. Service is premium. We'll be back soon.
