We did Sunday Brunch before a Panther’s game. Very nice selection of drinks, mocktails, and brunch items. I got the Lomo Saltido (SP?). Added the egg for $2 more. So much flavor and a slow heat build up as I ate. My wife got the avocado toast. The poached egg great and the balsamic drizzle on toast was a fantastic addition. My daughter got the pancakes. Wow. So fluffy and the black berries and blue berries were so good.

The Manager was very helpful. We asked for a seat change. Why? We were initially seated close to the entrance and each time the door was opened, we got hit with the cold breeze (outside temp around 35 degrees at the time). The Manager ushered us to a better seat in the back of the restaurant and we ended up having a great time. Thanks for your understanding and resolving our issue.

I really enjoyed the service and the food. The fried catfish, mac and cheese were really good. My homegirl got the black eye peas and she said that were really good as well. Drinks are high however that's expected for the area it is in. Dennis my server was really knowledgeable about the menu and what to try.
