they just re-opened under new ownership, and the food was amazing, drinks were fantastic and affordable, and the service was awesome. 11/10 recommend.

This place has a really cool vibe! I really like the setup, a restaurant upstairs and live jazz shows downstairs! The delicious comfort food they’re serving and soft jazz playing in the background really sucks you in making it hard to leave the tranquil setting. The calamari is a must try! I ordered the the blackened catfish it was a generous portion and a flavorful meal, one that I’d repeat. The staff was super amazing, very friendly and helpful!

Service good. But server steered us away from “bad” dishes stating the menu would be changing soon and he could not recommend certain things. My grits were ice-cold but the catfish was delicious and steaming hot served on top. Just a mixed bag at the moment. Ate there previously and had a wonderful salmon sandwich but that was sold out tonight. Not sure what is up with this place it is definitely hit and miss.

This place has POTENTIAL for sure, but my wife and I were highly disappointed… With three kids at home, we don’t get out often and were very excited to try out a new restaurant, especially one with a jazz/speakeasy type of feel.

Our waiter was initially very nice but his “service” stopped immediately after we ordered. I even had to stop him from taking away our sides as we continued to nibble on them while we talked. I could understand him being rushed or inattentive if they were busy, but we were one of two tables there on a Saturday night.

The menu is extremely limited… I figured that would result in high quality, well thought out dishes. I was wrong. My wife and I both got steaks which were $30+ each. Nothing was included with the steak besides a dipping sauce. Understandable, especially at high end steakhouses, but the steaks were HORRIBLE.

If you’re going to charge extreme prices for steak, I expect the chef to cook them properly. Both of us ordered our steaks medium rare. Both of our steaks came well done. Literally no pink whatsoever in my wife’s filet. It was tough and thoroughly disappointing.

My wife ordered a blue cheese crust on her filet which added almost $10 to the price (now a $40 steak). That’s an extreme price for a simple add on. To top it off, I chose not to have any toppings because I choose to enjoy the flavor of the meat, but the bottom of my steak was riddled with blue cheese. Not sure if they made a mistake and put the topping on mine and then scraped it off, but the flavor of the topping ruined the flavor of my steak.

Honestly, it’s a shame and embarrassing what they did with that food. I ordered $30-40 steaks expecting my taste buds to be blown away but feel like I was robbed. We both agreed that places like Longhorn blew these steaks out of the water. Heck, I’ve had better steak at hole in the wall family restaurants. And those steaks came with sides and cost 1/4 of the price…

As other reviewers also mentioned, the bathrooms were nasty. Ceiling tiles were missing which is just strange and creepy. I left the bathroom with sticky soles from who knows what and my shoes still make that sticky sound 5 days later.

Man, I really wish management would take care of those known issues because the concept is cool and the atmosphere is awesome. Bottom line, we spent over $150 on a dinner and left completely disappointed. At least I had beautiful company to share the awful experience with…

Love the craft beer and wine selection! Our appetizer and entrees were great. The po boy was one of the best I’ve ever had. Great seafood and vegetarian selections. Our server was super helpful and attentive. Atmosphere was comfortable and romantic for date night. I’ll definitely be back!!
