If you’re going to have a dress code, your own staff and d.j. should also be inline with it.

Amazing food, outstanding atmosphere. The live band was on point. This Sunday brunch service was ridiculously slow and we kept losing our waitress Tiffany or she kept forgetting about us. She seemed a little starstruck by others that were there. The food was excellent, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, tuna tower, ribs....all were amazing. Our group ordered everything. They have mimosas for $25 and you get the whole bottle of champagne. This was my second time attending and I would definitely go again. By the way I forget his name but he has dreads and works towards the front of the bar area. He makes the most amazing lemon drop. I would recommend trying this place if you haven't already.

Made a reservation for a friend’s birthday and had to wait 30+ minutes even with the reservation. Live band was entirely too loud. Couldn’t hear my guests, the waitress nor my own thoughts. Steak and eggs were pretty good. The steak did cut like butter. The shrimp and grits were good as well. However, a friend got chicken tenders and fries and the fries were horrible and hard. Unless you like eating in chaos, I would not recommend.

They have a 2 hour limit on tables but service was extremely slow so if they’re going to have a time limit make sure service is fast enough to experience the full time.

I absolutely enjoyed my brunch and service. To my surprise they had live music and the female vocalist/band were amazing… I felt like I was at a Jill Scott mini concert. Oh and I love the mixture… not too young and not too old, it was perfect. Nice DJ too and the staff was very polite.

I wanted to try this place fr a long time, and finally went fr our anniversary dinner. I wish i knew that the food wasnt that great. We had the brisket tacos which was oily like a river of oil coming out of it, and my salmon was so dry omg that i had to leave half of it ! Anyway lesson learned, besides the food our wait lady was amazing checking on us every now and then plus our drinks were really good! Will check them back again in the future but will only be fr drinks though.

Everywhere online stated they have $1 mimosas which made me make the reservation but they don’t. I literally got a notification an hour before my reservation reminding me of the special. I spoke with the manager and showed him that’s what’s being promoted and he gave us half off one carafe. We were already there so decided to stay. Our server was nice thankfully but all the tables next to us complained about their service. One even had a screaming match with theirs. I got the shrimp and grits which were good compared to the other options. The rest of my party did not like their food (chicken and waffles & French toast with eggs). I did like the vibe and live band. I would came back just for the bar only.
