Went to Soul Food Lounge for a birthday dinner. The space is pretty small and every seat was taken,…read moreso there is really nowhere to wait if you do not have reservations. Definitely book ahead. We all ordered the Grand Tasting, which lets you try three entrees plus a beverage. It was so much food but everything was delicious. I had the short rib, fried chicken, and catfish, each with different sides. The only thing I did not really care for was the dressing. They also had live entertainment, which made the vibe even better. Customer service was just okay, but I would still recommend it. I definitely want to try their other location since I have heard the menu is different.

Because it was a busy holiday we had a reservation made for 1:30 pm, and of course my friend group was running a little late but they were so friendly and accommodating. There was a 90 minute time limit to eat due to how busy the day was, but they were so kind to start the clock after everyone in our party showed up. Now for the good stuff! The food? Phenomenal! On the menu they have a special called the Grand Tasting where you can get 3 sampler entrees and a free glass of champagne or wine (red or white), all for $69. Everyone in my group decided to get this deal so we could all sample one another's food. I ordered the Tuffle Lobster Mac and Cheese, The Carolina Creamy Shrimp and Grits, and the Sicilian Sriracha Chicken Parmigiana. Everything was fantastic, so incredibly delicious. For the entrees to be samples they were a pretty decent size. The shrimp and grits and the Mac and cheese were absolutely perfect 10/10. I wish there was a location in the suburbs I would go here all the time! Huge thank you to the staff for their great hospitality. I almost forgot to mention that this place has live music, which definitely helps create an enjoyable vibe while you're dining. This place is a must try!!

Yeah this is a bar but it's also a really good restaurant and sports bar as well. The food is really good. We had the prime burger, the Mac and cheese and the pork chop sandwich, along with a few other things. The burger was great, with grilled onions and cheddar. Next time I'll get bacon too. The Mac and cheese was solid. It could be a bit bit more creamy and gooey, but it was good. The pork chop was a bit dry and needed sauce. Let's work on that. The drinks are great - the beers are awesome and their martinis are great. No complaints. The staff is the best. Super helpful and friendly. The space is also great with lots of TVs showing all the games. This is a seriously good neighborhood bar and restaurant, kid friendly and with unique and good food. Get here!

Party of four for breakfast. Two had omelets, one had a bagel, one had pancakes. Not impressive…read more Service was great. This has a diner feel, parking out back, and the service was good. The food however, was kind of cold like it had been sitting waiting. My mushroom/cheese omelet was a bit overcooked, and cheese distribution seemed like an afterthought. Hash browns seemed like some mashed potatoes flipped once. The coffee? Like Folgers. There is a "Greek bread" offered with is thick white bread with sesame seeds, and sort of odd, not bad, not interesting. There are other diner-like menu items, but in thinking about it, IHoP does this so much better and at about the same price. We had higher hopes.

Really enjoyed the food at Boon! My friend and I got the cheese curds and the Dunkt Butter Chicken…read more The cheese curds are breaded really nicely - not super thick, so you can really focus on enjoying the cheese (just the way I like it). The Dunkt Butter Chicken had great flavor! I was expecting a sandwich type of thing, but was pleasantly surprised that they cut up the pita and line the bowl with it. The spices were on point, and the chicken was excellently tender. The ambiance is casual, almost has a kind of local cafeteria feel, but it's very comfortable and clean. Service was quick and the staff was very friendly. The owner came out as we were wrapping up, he seems like a really nice guy who loves what he does. Highly recommend checking this place out, they have a LOT of different options on the menu and I absolutely plan to go back and try more!

My husband and son took me to Hemmingway's Bistro on my birthday last Saturday. We sat at a…read moresecluded table in a little nook that was perfect. Right away we were brought water in a basket of warm crusty bread with butter. Then we met our server, Axel. He was a young man with lots of knowledge of the menu. He was personable and engaging. We started out with drinks. I asked our server Axel if the bartender could make a bees knees, and he said if they had the ingredients they would make one. It turned out Axel was the one who made my cocktail and it was spot on. We shared the chicken liver pate hors d'oeuvre. The pate was served with three small crostini toasts, cornichons, cubes of clear jelly which we couldn't figure out what it was, and Dijon mustard. The pate was very good but it was disappointing to only receive three small crostinis on the plate because the ratio of pate to crostini was way off. We had to ask for another basket of bread so we could finish the pate. For dinner my husband had beef wellington, my son had lamb chops and I had the special for Saturday, soft shell crabs. Each of us enjoyed our dinners. My son asked for creamed spinach instead of the ratatouille that came with the lamb chops, and Axel was happy to make the substitution. I'm so glad I went with softshell crabs because I hardly ever see them offered on a menu. They were delicious! We ended sharing a mango soufflé - after I made a wish, of course! I forgot how much I love dining at Hemmingway's. I definitely recommend this bistro for lunch or dinner or even their jazzy brunch on Sundays. It was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday.

Went for the champagne brunch and had a nice overall experience, though with a few caveats. The…read morebrunch is $52 per person, which includes one moderately sized brunch entrée, one glass of champagne, and unlimited access to the buffet. The buffet was okay--not bad, but not especially memorable. It included crab claws, shrimp, oysters, smoked salmon, bagels, a wilted salad, pasta salad, and a handful of dessert options. The savory items were fine but didn't feel elevated for the price point. Quiche was served cold which is not my preferred temperature. That said, the desserts were the highlight. The crème brûlée and lemon tart were excellent and definitely the standout items of the buffet. One downside was the service, our waiter was MIA for a while, which made things feel a bit disjointed, especially when trying to get the check. Overall, it's an okay brunch with a nice atmosphere and solid dessert offerings, but for the price, the buffet selection felt a bit underwhelming. Worth trying once, especially if you're there for a leisurely brunch and good sweets, but not a must-repeat for the food alone.
