    I went to A'leurer (pronounced "allure") for a celebratory team dinner, selected by my boss who lives out of state. Based on the name, she assumed it might be French or some sort of soul fusion. Before going, I asked a friend who's active on Yelp if she'd heard of it, and she mentioned it was a newer soul food spot, so that's all I knew walking in. When we arrived, I realized this space used to be the Thai restaurant with the bridge and fish. The bridge is gone, but the beautiful door and some of the gold décor remain, which was a nice touch. The absolute highlight of the evening was the staff. Truly five-star service. From the host to our waitress, everyone was kind, patient, professional, and genuinely welcoming. All the stars go to them. Drinks were unfortunately a miss overall, with one exception: the blueberry lemonade, which I really enjoyed. My colleagues did not enjoy their cocktails. The signature drink (named after the restaurant) included muscadine wine, tequila, triple sec, and blueberries, but it didn't land for our table. We were pleasantly surprised with complimentary homemade biscuits and honey butter. I personally thought they were a bit burnt, but others at the table enjoyed them. Appetizers were solid. We ordered all varieties of wings--the lemon pepper wings were especially good. The fried mozzarella was also very good, along with the marinara. Entrees were hit or miss. Those who ordered the turkey wings did not enjoy them**. I ordered the fried chicken, which was solid. The fried pork chop was reportedly good, while the steaks were not well received. Sides were also inconsistent. The collards and kale tasted oddly similar. The mac and cheese was dry and not creamy. The yams were okay. Unfortunately, the mashed potatoes were the weakest dish--they tasted completely unseasoned, and even adding salt and pepper didn't help. Portion sizes were generous, and prices were reasonable, which I appreciated. That said, I don't think I'd return for a full meal. I would happily order the lemon pepper wings to go and get another blueberry lemonade. The team working there is doing a wonderful job, and I truly hope the kitchen continues to evolve. With some thoughtful menu tweaks and more consistent seasoning across dishes, this place has a lot of potential. While the service was exceptional and portions were generous, the food quality was inconsistent. I'm rooting for this place and hope a few kitchen tweaks help it shine as much as the team does.

    In walking in, you get, ok this might be good vibes! Unfortunately I didn't have a great experience. Let's start with drinks, three of us ordered cocktails and one wanted sweet wine. I guess the wine wasn't chilled so they thought adding ice cubes to the wine was a good idea but it wasn't and perhaps the server or bartender didn't know what sweet wine meant because it was not sweet. Since it was four of us, we wanted to try a variety of things but those table tops for four don't accommodate that. So we asked if we could get a bigger table because we were ordering a lot of food. We were first met with a lot of opposition. Then finally after we were like where is all the food going to go that they moved us into what I guess is the group area. Now for the food, I ordered oxtails because everyone's reviews were good and even the staff was like yes but I guess I had the wrong cook. I knew they wouldn't be authentic to Jamaican culture. It appeared it was moist because of the light coating of sauce but they were super dry and tough one you cut into it...major disappointment. Others meals came out over cooked or dry. It also took FOREVER to get our food! The only thing that was on point was the honey biscuits they bring you at the beginning and the wings. I'd be willing to go back if someone else just was dying to try it but outside of that I'm good. Don't want to spend my money to get subpar service and food.

    Don't come expecting to eat in a timely mann!!! The ambiance is casual. They had a live DJ playing some feel good music!! Our waiter, Xavier , was nice and accommodating however, the wait time for the food ....over an hour !! I ordered oxtails - they were out. I ordered beef tips - they were out. I finally ordered fish and collards. After an hour we received our food and our waiter said they were out of collards. Fish was Great!! The bar was just okay...not a lot of selection to choose from. They are still building their brand so I'm hoping it will get better.

    They have a 10 wings for $12 special on Fridays. And I got a side of Mac & cheese for $3 additional dollars. I ordered 5 naked wings & 5 breaded with lemon pepper. It took 45 minutes to get my food & the place was basically empty. I was not amused so I asked to speak to a manager. She apologized & gave me a choice of a free lemon or cheese cake to go. I also ordered a Lisa Lisa cocktail. It taste like a lemon. Yucky! lol I would not order it again. By the way the Mac & cheese was really good. The music is also nice. I think the good his hit or miss,

    Walking into the restaurant it was very elegant and nice. The server we had she was nice but also kind of forgetful. If I would have read the reviews on the wait time on food I would have eaten something before coming. By the time I got my food other people in my party was either done or asking for boxes. The spaghetti is made to order. Veggies does not come with the meal, they are priced at $4 per vegetable. The oxtails were very fatty (5 of us ordered the oxtail and had the same issue), it would be nice if some of the fat could have been trimmed off especially if your slow cooking them it will retain its tenderness with little fat. The mozzarella squares were good nice cheese pull, greens beans were good as well. Mac and cheese is a hit or miss. The asparagus is a definitely no. I understand having a party and charging a service fee, however your service fee also determines the tip which is inconvenient because the server forgot certain food, a guest party was told 10 mins on wings which took almost 45 mins after complaining about the meatloaf and I received my food after everyone was almost done with theirs. It would be nice if all food came out at the same time when dealing with parties.

    I tried this off recommendations. It is a little hard to find. Walking it it feels like a place to eat while the move all the tables to the walls for dancing. There were about 20 tables when there could have been doubled. Water feature in the lobby that was not working with empty change. There is a bar upfront That looks empty and has storage boxes behind it. I had fried chicken, collards and Mac and cheese. After waiting 40 minutes , while I was the only person in there Friday afternoon The chicken was really good. The collards are not seasoned. The Mac and cheese was room temp, like it was from yesterday.

    Date Night Saturday we never been here before and my husband saw this on Facebook so Saturday went there now it's nice inside but it was too loud for my liking, but when I saw the menu it was like what I ordered baked chicken so you get mashed potatoes or rice so I chose mashed potatoes my husband order the fish but it didn't come 2 side he had order the side separately. I was thinking fish should come with sides and some bread of sort, but any way he ordered yams and collard greens, the yams was not good but macaroni cheese was good. The service was alright it was different than I'm used too, The food could have been hot it was just warm. I spoke to the manager about the place and I told her I go out to eat a lot different restaurants so the money I'm going to pay for your food it should add up. So the whole Atmosphere and the food was not all that good for us. If they want to stay in business they need to step up there game, I don't mind paying and supporting black own businesses but at end of day I want eat good feel like I got my money worth. You can tried this place yourself and tell me what you think

    I'm so glad my mother chose this place to celebrate my grandmothers birthday! The atmosphere was clean and cute. We had a good time fellowshipping & carrying on. Once the food came out we shut up, it was so good!!!! I already know what I'm getting next time I go! My oxtails and rice were so flavorful! My grandma got the lamb chops and left no crumbs! Everyone enjoyed their food. We did have to wait until after the food came out for our biscuits that are supposed to come out with the drinks but they were bomb too so not too much on them, hehe. Our server was sweet & attentive. Overall it was a nice experience and my grandma loved it which is all we really cared about anyway!

    Mac and cheese and collards

    Delicious! Loved the biscuits. Collards and Mac and cheese were good. Cheese sticks too!

    Loved it! My nephew said it was life changing! Our server was great, the place is nice, clean, and has a great DJ playing late nineties/early 2000s R&B. The food was the absolute star! We had the shrimp and grits appetizer. This is shrimp on top of a grit cake. Think: a huge delicious hush puppy! SO good! I then had the ribs, mac & cheese, and cabbage. My nephew had the Cajun pasta with shrimp and a side or mac & cheese. We both had strawberry cheesecake for dessert. The ribs were as big as my forearm! We're very much looking forward to our leftovers, which are a whole meal!

    The food was not good. I specifically ask if there was the collards were spicy I was told no. Also, the fish was so greasy. I sent it back and the batter didn't stay on the fish. You could see the grease sitting on the fish. When the to go plate was returned to me it was without a bag. The waitress was rude assuring me the fish WAS fresh. It was NOT. $25 for two small pieces of fish Mac that the cheese wasn't melted and cabbage on the second plate that had no flavor.

The fish was so flaky and the breading was the perfect about of crispiness. The collard greens were cooked well but were a little bland. Wish it also included a protein or something in it. The mac and cheese tasted a lot better than it looked. It was wasn't great but it was kind of what you'd expect of a fast casual spot. I really liked all the lemonade flavors they had. All of them were pretty good and I definitely recommend trying them out if you're not afraid of a little sugar.

    This was our second visit here since moving to the area. To start, the servers were great! Very…read morefriendly and we were seated quickly. We ordered drinks and an appetizer and they came out fairly quickly. The Korean BBQ Spring Rolls are very good! Now for the not so good part. We ordered the fish and chips to split- that was all we ordered after the appetizer and it took forever for our order to be brought to the table. We watched a couple tables around us, get their food before us, and they had been seated after us.. The server had to go back and check on our dish a couple times before it finally came out. I will say the fish and the chips were fabulous, but the corn was terrible and should probably not even be included on the dish. It was WAY overcooked and chewy. The coleslaw left quite a bit to be desired as well. No seasoning, no flavor and was just bland. When it says wasabi coleslaw, I am thinking it is going to have a little bit of a kick to it but nothing. They could definitely save themselves some money by eliminating the corn from this dish, make the coleslaw an option as an up charge and could lower the price on the dish in general or add a third piece of fish instead of the corn and coleslaw. Overall, it's definitely the best fish and chips we've had since moving to the area, but I would order it with no corn or coleslaw next time.

    We finally had a chance to try Fishbones on Walker Avenue. We were looking for something casual and…read moreinviting and what we found was a rustic, engaging vibe at Fishbones. We started out with cocktails. I had a Hendricks dry martini straight up (it was delicious) and my wife had a Don't Call Me Sweetie which is mix of Hendrick's Gin, Lemon, Cucumber, Basil, Simple, Saline 15. It is very citrus heavy, so be advised. She had them cut it with a bit of cranberry to offset the citrus. For main courses, my wife had the grilled salmon and she chose sautéed garlic spinach and wasabi slaw as her sides. I ordered the shrimp and grits and my side was blackened green beans. Let's talk main course first. My wife's salmon was terrific. Flaky and moist and very tasty. My shrimp and grits was unique because it was a real balance between large pieces of shrimp and the grits. Many times you'll order this dish and end up with a pile of grits with some shrimp sprinkled on top. This version is very tasty and a really nice balance of flavors. The Cajun seasonings have it some kick, but it did not overpower. The side dishes are where we had a couple of surprises. First off the sautéed spinach was really delicious, but my wife's wasabi slaw was bland. It's a huge shocker because when you see the word wasabi, you expected to have some Asian kick to it. This did not. It was hard to even identify that it had wasabi in it. That was a disappointment. The surprise was the blackened green beans. They actually were one of the stars of the show. Their flavor and texture was just awesome. We could've ordered a huge bowl of it and eaten all of it. While it didn't need it, there was a dipping aïoli on the side, just in case we wanted to add that to the green bean experience. As I mentioned off the start, Fishbones is a very casual experience. It's very pub-like in that way. We really loved it and the wait staff, which is a team approach as anyone who passes you makes sure you're doing OK, were kind, upbeat and helpful. Even with the bland slaw, we can't lower our rating because overall the experience was terrific. We will definitely come back.

Then the peach crumble showed up and stole the entire night. It is genuinely amazing, and I'd tell anyone within earshot to order it. Great atmosphere, great service, great drinks, and a dessert worth the trip. If the kitchen brings the seasoning up to the level of everything else, this is easily a four-and-a-half-star restaurant.
