    The best part were the drinks. 1. This place is pretty small 2. They add 18% gratuity to the bill for parties of 3 ppl or less (this isn’t ideal b/c even if service isn’t good, they get this tip???) 3. My friend’s avocado toast had barely any avocado and I’ve never seen this made with regular degular sliced white bread. BOTH of our entrees - shrimp & grits and jambalaya alfredo - were EXTREMELY greasy and the alfredo was missing shrimp. When we told our server she came back with 4 shrimp and told us the cook said he was moving too fast (smh). I see what they are trying to do but the mark is being missed, sorely. Highly unlikely that either of us will return.

    I do recommend showing up to your reservation early only because they have a small waiting area and the tables are packed to capacity.

    Awesome vibes. Waitress was amazing and very attentive, music was vibe, food was hella good and also a great price. MIMOSA flight was amazing definitely more champagne than juice which I can really appreciate. Only downside bathroom wasn’t clean. Overall I will be returning.

    The best about the place was the food. I waited 45 minutes and I had a reservation. Yet walk-ins came in and got seated right away. I was waiting on the rest of my guest so that was fine but the waiting area was a small area outside the restaurant. Also the seating was very cramped. It wouldn’t hurt to take a couple tables out so people can actually walk thru without bumping into diners trying to enjoy the meal. Lastly, the music was entirely too loud. We couldn’t talk to each without yelling and still couldn’t hear. And the music choice was more for a club than brunch. I guess it’s a vibe for someone but not for me!

    Reservations were at 2, we were not seated until 305pm. Our waitress was excellent, food but so much. A few ladies had to send their orders back due to side dishes being cold. The vibes were there but overall I do not have to go back. Long wait for meh food is not a plus at all.

    Let me start with the service was amazing very nice staff Food came out fast and was hot prices are typical and drinks were also good the mimosas weren’t endless 4 for 30!! Unless you get the tower 120!! Live dj was great however the music should be more mixed he mainly played trap music The seating is congested very small tables not much room to work very close to others continually bumping into you Again this is my experience go for yourself and it may be different
