| - I'm so glad I found this place! It was my first time, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes cute restaurants with good food.
The Good:
1) It's a great location! I am staying at the Doubletree Hilton Southpark and it was maybe a 5 minute drive. I had considered walking, but the forecast called for rain. I don't know why people complained about parking. Yeah, I had to drive to the fourth level of the parking garage, but it was completely free. Especially given the area, the parking situation was great.
2) Decor. It had a cute feel. There was a chalkboard with drinks listed which was cute. I love chalkboards. Also, I sat at the top level over looking the restaurant, so I was able to look at everybody's food and drinks before I ordered.
3) Food. The most important part! It was extremely hard to decide what to eat because I wanted everything (in part because I'm visiting from upstate NY where you can't find chicken and waffles, grits, biscuits and gravy, etc). I decided on the red velvet waffle with chicken, a side of fruit, and a half order of biscuits n gravy. I loved the waffle! It had cream cheese frosting on it. Not much, just enough for sweetness. I didn't even add syrup. The chicken was a little dry, but it had great flavor and was very crunchy. The biscuit and gravy was good. It wasn't salty, but was creamy, the biscuit was fluffy, it was just nice. The fruit was ok.
4) Service. The hostess was nice. I called before I came, and the hostess was helpful with all my questions. My waiter was just ok. He didn't seem too happy to be there, but he did take back the one item I didn't like (lemonade) and didn't charge me. I will say, though, he was a lot nicer than many other waiters I've encountered in this area.
The Bad:
1) The Lemonade- Since I've been visiting NC this week, I've had much of my favorite fast food, Chick fil A. That being said, the bar is pretty high for lemonade, especially at the price they're charging for it. I expected a fresh squeezed lemonade with real sugar, but I think it was some kind of mix, maybe Minute Maid. It went back.
2) Cupcake Latte- They had several flavors, including Peanut Butter Cup latte, but I've never had cupcake flavor so I went for it. It was plain. It just tasted like a really sweet latte. I'll pass.
3) Dessert- Yeah, I had dessert too (but I got it to go, don't judge!) I got the pineapple upside down cake, which has a layer of cheesecake in the middle. It came cold, which is fine since I was taking it and could heat it later. It's good, and really sweet. The pineapples on top are amazing. But it was $7 for a small slice. Not that I needed a lot, I just feel like it's overpriced.
For the red velvet waffle with chicken and side of fruit, biscuit and gravy side, pineapple upside down cake, and cupcake latte, I paid $31. Not too bad I guess. I really liked the place, so I'd go again.
