Truly nothing to write home about. The food was just okay. Service was cool. Gumbo was good. It lacked flavor compared to the kind of gumbo I've had. The chicken dish I had was just alright as well. It was missing flavors that made the entire experience just feel so incomplete. The sangria wasn't much of a sangria. It tasted like some full on bitter red wine with chopped fruit trickled on top.
We're not in Phoenix often, but when we're in town, we like discovering new places and coming back to the ones we really found outstanding. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them.
The ambience is great and the book store/wine bar next door is a genius idea..... But the food here just isn't worth the price tag on it. Our chances of returning are unlikely.
