| - Guys, this place totally exceeded all of my expectations. I walk by this place quite often and thought it looked nice -- the reviews on yelp are okay, so we went there tonight. First off, i love the way the interior was decorated. It was very elegant and modern, with a unique flair (the wall mural!). The people who work there were incredibly friendly. I'd say, the walk to the bathroom was also fun, you get a peek in the kitchen and also see some extra, lounge-like space they have in the back.
In addition to the great ambience and nice service, the food was incredible. We started off with the spicy buffalo fried okra -- that was wonderful. It was such a unique dish. Okra fried until crunchy, slathered with sour cream and buffalo sauce. It is a bit spicy so if you don't eat spicy at all, this won't be the dish for you. The food portions were HUGE. I got the acadian seafood fricotand when the plate came, it was overflowing with clams and mussels, and buried underneath all of that shelled goodness, there were pieces of monkfish that were so tender yet firm. The sauce that everything was bathed in was incredible.. and it also came with bread with some kind of garlic spread on it -- that dipped in the sauce.. no words. Two members of our party got the night's special with fried chicken and cheese biscuits and those were lovely too. The cheese biscuit was nice and crunchy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside.. all with cheesy goodness.
After we paid the bill, we ended up staying maybe another hour just catching up, and during this time they continued to come by and fill our water --That is not common!
I think it says a lot that the 4 of us, who love to eat, gave this place a unanimous 5 star. Love it -- definitely a good spot for dates, friends' get togethers, anything!
