| - Mixed. And we had such high hopes. My entree, grilled trout, was quite good. The pearl couscous accompanying it was on the bland side. Husband enjoyed his shrimp and grits, aside from the fact that the portion size was simply tiny. We also ordered beignets for dessert, which were stale, tough, and obviously not prepared that day. Regarding our dining experience in general... we had reservations, and waited almost an hour - we were seated downstairs. Our table, in the middle of the room, was part of an unfortunate layout. I don't typically carry a tape measure in my purse, but our table was probably 18-24 inches wide, tops. The wait staff zipped by on either side of us, to the point where I was clipped twice on the arm. I had to actually spend my lunch with my arms pulled into my lap, so my elbows didn't accidentally protrude into the path of traffic. It might have been a nice fit for a couple of 8 year olds, but not for anyone of normal stature. Granted, our experience might have been more pleasant on a weekday night when the place wasn't hopping, but what can I say? Wait staff was attentive, but nothing out of the ordinary. The bar looked fun, and perhaps the upstairs had more ambience. But for these prices, I expected more. If we do venture back, it won't be on Valentine's Day.
