I was reluctant after seeing some negative reviews, but I was staying so close and I LOVE soul food. Had to give it a try....
Juan was great behind the bar. The service was spot on. The manager checked in to see how everything was too.
I had the fried green tomatoes and the shrimp and lobster with grits cakes. Tomatoes were great-- spicy sauce on the side and they came out hot and crispy. The shrimp and lobster was really good too. Smoky, flavorful sauce and delicious shellfish. Usually in a dish like this its easy to get shellfish thats WAY overcooked. Not the case here. The shrimp and lobster were tender and cooked just right. The sauce was a little heavy on the salt, but it didn't stop me from cleaning my plate. I didn't mention it to the staff because I don't like doing that, especially if I'm still eating and enjoying the dish but I'm positive they would have bent over backwards to fix it had i asked.
Hot boozy cider for desert-- Yum!
For those of you who aren't the uber-finicky yelpers who complain that the bathroom was low on hand soap or that the lighting was too bright, or too dim (neither of which was the case here) give this place a shot. I can tell they aim to please, and they succeeded! I'm pleased!
