| - The roommate and I went to SoHo to check it out and found it to be SoSo. Pardon the pun.
As many have mentioned before me, the atmosphere is top notch. You will want for nothing upon seeing the interior of this transformed W. 25th restaurant. Continue to the service: pleasant service is nice, but overbearing gets old fast. The biscuits that were delivered were pretty tasty, though we both found them to be more dense than you'll find in the Deep South.
Carry on to the main event: dinner. I ordered the Catfish Po Boy, which came spilling out of the Italian Baguette it was intended to be eaten with. However, I found that the overly-fried fish could not fit within the bread itself and ate the whole thing piece by piece. Maybe the dish would work as a whole, but each piece was just as bland as the next - nothing noteworthy here. The hush puppies were tasty, though the sauce (all two teaspoons of it) did nothing for either of us.
The roomie got the Pork Belly and Pimento Mac & Cheese. She noted the Pork Belly as dry, amazingly enough. That being said, she was impressed with the taste. The mac & cheese was noted as "ok."
Overall, it looks like the perfect amount of atmosphere and uniqueness that W. 25th caters to. I'll definitely have to come back and try another dish, perhaps up that rating a little bit...
