| - Delta's is a wonderful new addition to the Uptown, after hours scene. It's an upscale, soul food joint with the best live music in town -- traditional soul, neo-soul, jazz, r&b. I am still uncomfortable paying over $20 for fried catfish or fried chicken, especially when I can go down the street to Mert's and pay half the price with more side options. For now I am sticking to drinks and appetizers, which I consider tapas. I highly recommend the catfish fingers and crab cakes.
What you have to keep in mind is that Delta's is selling a very different vibe to what I imagine is a very different crowd than what you may expect at other soul food restaurants in town. Not better, just different. Both nights I was there the crowd was definately thirty somethings and middle age professional African Americans dressed to impress. At least I was impressed. Lots of well respected and influential Black business and finance people came out to support this place last time I was there. Love that.
You have to have money to eat here, that's for sure. No jeans, muffin tops or flip flops in sight. Service was exceptional . . . charming, attentive, and knowledgable. Call me booshy but I WILL be back.
