This was me and my husband's first time dining at Grits and Eggs Breakfast Kitchen. We were greeted…read moreby the staff members at the front desk, bar and the waitress. Everyone was nice. I forgot our waitress name, but she has locs and very pleasant and attentive. We started out with drinks and then we placed our order. I ordered the fried fish and grits. My husband ordered french toast, fried hard eggs, house potatoes, and bacon. Our food was so delicious. I didn't taste any of my husband's breakfast, but mine was delicious. I didn't eat all of my food, so I had leftovers. We will definitely be back, if we're in the area. :-)

Man...they must be having a rough day. We walk in, we wait,…read moremaybe 3 tables are seated, after 5 minutes of no one greeting us at the host stand. We signal to a waiter who motions that we can seat ourselves. We sit, we wait 10 minutes. We ask the same waiter who motioned at us to sit if he could take our order. He said "one sec...let me see where your waiter is". Waiter finally comes. She is charming. Takes our order. Ok maybe we are back on track, let's give this place a chance. Yall we ordered eggs. 30 minutes go by...no food. A couple tables who arrive after us are getting their food. We ask the waitress. "We had to boil the water for your eggs." 20 more minutes go by. Food comes. Poached egg has zero runny. The 'Eggs over medium' were overcooked and left off my friends plate upon waitress insistence... they come 5 minutes after he received his pancakes, potatoes; and sausage. Everything overcooked. The owner did come out and apologize, and the waitress did everything possible to make it right. So 2* instead of 1... but man, rough day for this restaurant--enough to ensure it was our first and last visit.

Everything I've tried on the menu has been delicious. My only complaint is that I wish the restaurant was a little bigger because it can feel a bit cramped inside. Other than that, the service and food are consistently excellent. This visit, I ordered the seafood dip, and it was absolutely amazing. For my entrée, I had the steak with fries and a Caesar salad. The steak was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. My sister ordered the croffle flight along with the mac and cheese and grits, and she thoroughly enjoyed both. This was my second visit, and I'll definitely be back for a third. It's hard to find a restaurant that's this consistent, but Crescent City Kitchen delivers every time!

I visited Crescent Kitchen & Bar for my girlfriend's birthday brunch after seeing all the hype on…read moreTikTok. Unfortunately, the experience didn't match the reviews. The restaurant was much smaller and less impressive than expected, with tables packed very close together. We waited several minutes to be greeted, our reservation didn't seem to matter, and service felt disorganized from the start. We weren't given menus or silverware until we asked, and attention to detail was noticeably lacking throughout the visit. The food was absolutely the highlight. Everything we ordered was delicious and lived up to the hype. However, for a bill that approached $300 for just two people, I expected a better atmosphere and overall experience. I'm big on ambiance, especially when booking a place for a birthday or date. Part of what hurt the experience was being seated beside a group dressed very casually in sweats and hoodies, with one guest working on a laptop and taking over an extra table. That's not a criticism of them, but it didn't align with the elevated dining experience the restaurant's pricing and online reputation seem to suggest. A dress code or a more curated dining environment would go a long way toward creating the upscale atmosphere they're aiming for. Great food, but great restaurants create an experience, not just a meal. For me, Crescent delivered on the food but fell short on the service, ambiance, and attention to detail needed to justify the price. Not somewhere I'll be returning for a special occasion.

No AC, an out of order fridge, and old peeling furniture. The outdoor patio seating is nice so on a good day, that may be the way to go. Regarding the food and drink, had a specialty latte with lavender, honey and rose and it was nice! The breakfast sandwich was solid. Can't comment on service as a I just stopped in to pick up to-go.

Came here on a really early Sunday morning for breakfast with friends. Reservation slots fill up…read morequickly so if you're looking to go around 11ish, get it when you see it. They don't seat you until all of your party arrives FYI so be prepared to wait. When I got there, the host was taking a to go order for a customer which was very weird and held up the line for a really long time since the guy didn't know what he wanted. In my opinion, that should've been the bar's job; not the host. The restaurant is only but so big and this blocks the door which is a safety hazard. And by that time, there 3 parties waiting to be checked in, including myself, while she did that. Did not like that at all. We were seated in about 20 minutes and fyi, the booths are small so if you're tall or of heavy weight, you may want to opt for a table instead to be more comfortable. It's been a while since I've been here and the last time, I got the salmon croquettes so this time, I got the catfish and grits with shrimp on top at the suggestion of our server. And my friend got the same thing the last time she was here and raved about how good it was. I'd definitely agree. The dish was amazing. Well seasoned and a good portion of food. Service was great. She kept checking on us to make sure we were good and was very knowledgeable about the menu.

The food is good, homestyle, and reasonably priced. You can get a full breakfast with grits, bacon, and eggs for around $14, which is much better than a lot of downtown prices. Our waitress was very nice, my berry fizz mocktail was delicious, and I even ended up singing "So Gone" by Monica for karaoke. They handed me the mic and voilà, a star was born. This was my second time here, and I'd definitely come back. Good food, nice people, clean bathrooms, and a fun atmosphere.

Straight up, we had a blast at Rosie's. Natasha was our server and we laughed until times got…read morebetter! It was her genuine greeting and warm smile that opened the door to releasing any walls that were up. It was like she was a distant cousin I hadn't seen in a while. She gave us the rundown on a few questions we had about the menu and some ideas on how to put together the palate of items we were tasting for. Naturally, we started off with a cocktail while we waited for our breakfast at 230pm. Judge someone else. It was a peachy array of flavors with Jamison as the liquor base. I'm all about dark liquor if I'm going to have a sip and she recommended it so I knew it'd be good. My buddy ordered an espresso martini but subbed tequila instead of the vodka. He said it was delightful but I'm taking his word. On to the food... My buddy ordered the chicken and waffle plate and it comes with 3 whole wings. They are crispy, well-seasoned, and juicy. I can't stand an over cooked protein. The waffle was done nicely with a little heft as well. He got the Belgian style but they have specialty options with flavors such as red velvet and others. I was a little more greedy and got the specialty pancakes -banana nut- combo breakfast with sausage, eggs, and grits. However, I really wanted this chicken I had heard so much about so I got that too. Again, please go judge someone else. I enjoyed my food with no regrets in sight. The only real critiques we had were that the speed of the bar drinks could tighten up. It wasn't busy but took a while. Also, the hostess while very friendly, also rigid in the all being present to be seated. We watched my friend back his truck into the space and walk in before we could be assigned a table. But hey rules are rules it was just too hot to stand outside and wait for him to park that truck. I'll add this place to the list if breakfast dates my spouse and I have and I need Cousin Tasha to be assigned our table.
