    Our first visit to this restaurant. We were looking for Soul Food and it came up on Open Table. The ambiance and environment is top notch, lot of seating options indoor/outdoor with a nice DJ/Music Vibe (R&B and Hip-Hop while we were there). The clientele was diverse and lively.....the music is loud though! On to the food - the menu has a brunch, lunch, larger course set up with several variations of fish, shrimp, chicken, crawfish and even aligator bites. We decided to go with the Shrimp and Grits and the Fried Catfish over rice with a creole sauce. It was supposed to have crawfish, but the lil pieces were negligible. Both dishes were very good, but this place is pricey!!!! Two dishes and two lemonades plus tip was $84 bucks for lunch......so I'm thinking this one is a special occasion. The service was great, our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. The food was prepared quickly and there are tons of distractions to make the time go by faster. I wouldn't go here hungry or in a big group that is going to be splitting the bill....whew it was pricey for what you got! Oh, and parking took 20 minutes to find 3 blocks away on a Sunday at 12 noon....I couldn't even imagine trying to park when it's busy.

    The spouse & I were visiting my daughter, who lives in San Diego. She had not been to Madison & neither had we. We all enjoyed the tomato & burrata appetizer. We also had the cioppino, Tuscan sausage rigatoni & chicken piccata; all were so good! Spouse & I had the Ibarra & The Woodsman, which were delicious. Service from Kylee excellent. We also enjoyed the music. My daughter plans to bring her roommates here.
