| - I didn't realize this place was at Town Square probably up until about a week ago. It's located on the second floor very close to the AMC theater, Blue Martini, and McFaddens.
So I walk in and I'm immediately impressed by the decor. If you've ever been to Sparklings, this place is a step-up in regards to its chic and classy interior. It also has a very bourgeois feeling to it, which complements its name and purpose as a restaurant/entertainment lounge.
Mind you, I was here for a special occasion. My friend had planned out a surprise proposal for his girlfriend. I arrive at 5:30pm and was greeted by the owner and a worker at the bar named Yoshi. I was immediately asked if I wanted anything to drink. I opted for water because I didn't want to start drinking before the festivities, lol. The owner and bartender were extremely accommodating to the behind the scenes planning of the proposal: finding mics that worked correctly, allowing the soon-to-be bridal party a special section of seats and tables to sit at, testing out the sound system, practically just making sure everything was perfect for the proposal.
Let's fast forward to the food! This place serves southern, thank the laaaawd. Jambalaya, catfish, dirty rice and beans, crab beignets, you name it. I ordered bacon wrapped shrimp and was highly pleased. The sauce that came with it was plain old BBQ sauce, but it still tasted great, nonetheless. My friend Desiree had ordered the blackened catfish and BOY, WAS IT SPICY. My mouth was on fire but the flavor was very good.
DJ Cali Cat from Hot 97.5 comes here and DJs and she was taking requests from my drunken friends and I. She's awesome. And then a live band came on around 9pm and the lead singer of the group was kiiiiiillin her performance with soulful R&B. It was a great night.
Food here is a little overpriced and I feel that quality could be better, but overall I would come back here for maybe a large gathering due to the professionalism of the ownership of N?che.
