| - My first experience here and I was pleasantly surprised. One of my prior coworker's from NY had posted the last week she was going here and I asked how is this place? From what I saw online the pics looked awesome. She suggested we make plans for lunch.
The interior is exactly what I was anticipated, but I liked there was an out front eating area too.
The crab cake appetizer was spot on. Love mine not over cooked and not dry. Only thing I would do next time is ask for more of the sauce, it was scrumptious! Even drizzled it over the veggies too, I'm old school and remember mom saying eat your veggies. Well I did .
My friend had these amazing broccoli that was nothing like I've had before. They seemed to be fried (not sure) they had a chili sauce drizzled on them that I was mmmm so good.
Next for the entree, my friend is vegan and they made what I want to say is a special for her, I would just check prior to going to see if they can address your dietary needs as I tell people you should check ahead of time. All I can say she what is in-front of her was not all of it. She had another veggie medley. It looked like something I would settle for too if it wasn't I wanted one of the good southern meals I was hoping to taste.
To many choices but I've been drooling for some for a good chicken and waffle meal. I didn't need more than that to eat trust me! The waffle was cooked to just the right texture to be able to hold the chicken and the maple syrup without getting that awful sogginess. The chicken I was just as I hoped! Thus the reason for 5 stars! The chicken was crispy on the outside with the right crunch and the inside had that wow factor, which most chefs miss because they focus on the outside but not on the inside. It was juicy and moist, not over cooked or under cooked, both I so do not accept for chicken and make me not go patronize a establishment again. This place was spot on with all the food. I also hate, yes hate those who go heavy handed on salt and pepper. There are hundreds of other spices and herbs to use while preparing foods and sadly, many places think that is the way to go.
Yes I love cooking and have helped Mom since I was 4-5 yrs old and majored in Home ec in high school and yes is still cook for people to this day, sorry I'm Italian Mom always said have food or staples in the house for unexpected visitors.
So if you're in the area, stop in and be pleasantly surprised and bring an appetite. Oh and they have jazz night so make sure to call and find out the dates.
