| - I wanted so much to love this place. I think I may have just gotten my hopes up too high... but shouldn't I have?
The decor is a good 50/50 split among the community. However, I absolutely love it. The mid-century modern Miami-Vice vibe meets my psuedo-hipster lifestyle.
The food though... I think it is fair to expect great, consistent, flavor from the same restaurant group. Go to Burrito Loco and The Prickly Pear... and you get amazing flavor from both. I had the same expectation here. I love seafood and I love me some fried food. The hushpuppies were fine but I wasn't a fan of the squishy texture. For dinner, I had the catfish and added the avocado slaw... The flavor of the fish itself was really good. I was stoked bc I hadn't had catfish in about 20 years (honestly, who every has it on their menu?). The batter that it was cooked in wasn't very exciting so that was just a bit of a bummer. The slaw, though... I would go back just for the slaw. Creamy and delicious and very, very, flavorful. Keep in mind that I do not enjoy your traditional cole-slaw. I also stole a few bites of my wife's creamed collards. While there wasn't anything creamy about them, they were delicious... another item that I would go back for.
Overall, the food was okay and the vibe was great. The servers and staff really seem like they are trying their best to get everything right. I might try it again or just go for drinks, which I hear are great.
