| - Would I come back? Probably not.
If you can nab a groupon, you get incredible value here. We paid $49 (+tax and tip) for four people for a three-course meal.
Cost aside, the food is somewhere between "okay" and "good". The desserts were definitely their strongest suits, but they were also very ordinary desserts, so it doesn't say much about the quality of the restaurant's specialty cuisine.
YUM:
- Bread pudding: great! Can anyone really mess up bread pudding?
- Butter tart: delicious, but again, butter tarts are always delicious and this could have been store-bought for all I know.
MEH / OK:
- Catfish filet: decent
- Blackened chicken: decent
- Jambalaya: a mountain of simple, singular, unexciting flavour
- Polenta stacks: probably the most flavourful dish we ordered, primarily due to the cheese, but still only marginally better than the other dishes
SKIP IT:
- Salad: soggy and salty
- Hushpuppies: reaaaaally dough-y, floury, and dry. I'd skip this no matter how much the servers try to hype it up
There wasn't a single dish that was bad, but there wasn't a single non-dessert dish that was delicious either. So if you're trying to decide whether or not to come here, it's a question of whether you want to be full or whether you want to be wowed. If you want to be full, this place is perfectly fine.
