I went last night with friends who live near Kipling Station; I did not even know about this place and hope we go again.
Despite being from the US, and having family roots in the South, I am really only familiar with this cuisine by name. There was a lot on the menu to choose from and I went with the fried oyster and bacon sandwich with red beans and rice. Delicious!
Now, if you don't eat animals, including fish, you will have a hard time here. I think there were almost no options as the fried green tomatoes were not available. The chef came out and offered to make my friend a special vege jambalaya. Said friend enjoyed it; I was impressed that the chef came out to chat with all for a bit.
For a drink I tried the Hurricane, something I can't make at home as I usually only keep one kind of rum around at a time. This was also really good and I can see how somebody could get bombed off these--they are sweet and go down easy.
The beer (tap) selection was good if that is what you prefer.
The atmosphere was friendly although Saturday evening was pretty dead--my guess is that this restaurant does 80% of its business during the day from all of the nearby office towers.
Service was fair. Prices seemed fair too. Neither of these would keep me from returning.
The cloth napkins are a very nice touch and added a bit of class.
This place obviously works for lunch or for a friendly dinner. I could see it as a good dinner date spot if the both of you are a bit adventurous and want to explore dishes you can get just anywhere. Very recommended!
