This was my first time here. First impressions are everything and I loved the decor and feel this place has. I just had a great vibe and you can tell by the range of hip people coming here. From young business adults to older 60's and up can also blend in well.
I went on a Thursday after work for drinks and dinner. We got there around 5 and was easily able to get a table. Plus they are on open table so it's easy to get a table.
We sat down stairs which has a different menu with smaller bites and less expensive prices.
I started with the soup. It was awesome. I had the jambalaya and it had great flavors.
Service was good too. The entire staff constantly checked on things for us. It was certainly a team working together to serve the clients. Finally a place that gets service!
I got the shrimp n grits. At first it looked great. The shrimp had a nice grilled char but we're in the smaller side. I had three mid size shrimp. It was also paired with two pieces of pork belly which was over cooked.
Now the grits were just disappointing. I love grits and make them all the time. It tasted like pure cheese. It was almost too much that I could not eat them alone. With the bites of protein they balanced out nicely. But just too much cheese.
Overall a good experience and I look forward to trying other items on the menu. Might even go for upstairs menu on date night with the wife.
