| - Ambiance: Great atmopshere overall, and patio is superior for summertime, just the right size to not feel out of place but still small enough to be able to see two outdoor TV's if you want to keep your eyes peeled on a game. Indoor has a tendency to get a little noisy late night Friday/Saturday but still just below average.
Cost: Similar to upscale bar food prices, no highway robbery but not dirt cheap either. $8-$13 for most filling meals.
Food Quality: Topic of much heated debate, but overall I think the food deserve a 4. Yes, the Chicken and Waffles are overrated -- very similar to what you'll get in other cities but it's nice being able to get it nearby. Other menu options are hit or miss, some amazing and others rather lackluster so I wouldn't let one food experience dictate a review. Great standouts include the grouper, chicken wings, enchiladas, and salads (featuring the rather unique cucumber wasabi dressing). Misses include the tuna appetizer and lobster rolls among others.
Service: This is where a 4 review became a 3. I have had some decent experiences, but as a general rule Southside service is atrocious. Forgetting about tables / mismanagement of who has what tables, not coming back to see how things are going for more drinks/water etc, is very frustrating especially if you're out to drink heavily with friends or in a reasonable hurry.
When to return: Great summer place to sit out on the patio when NOT in a hurry. Sunday brunch is nice as many have said, and also makes for a decent place to come on any weekday for a casual dinner with friends.
