If you have a small-to-mid-sized event to host then I strongly encourage you to have it here. We came for a friend's birthday party and had an absolute blast. The main (ground floor) room offered exactly what was needed for the gathering: ample space to mingle, a central bar, a plethora of places to sit, a clean bathroom, amazing food, and an even more amazing staff. (I also heard the upstairs is really cool but didn't get a look for myself) Our group was not large, and not particularly rowdy*, but the space and the level of service made it feel much more intimate. From the moment we walked in the door we felt warmly welcomed by everyone. The bartender made quick work of all drink orders and the serving of the food was perfectly timed. Speaking of the food: wow. It was DELICIOUS! I had three full plates myself. And I took some leftovers home. Incredible edibles! But another word about the staff, because they really made this whole experience... not only were they friendly but they were Johnny On The Spot with cleaning everything up. No plate was left for more than a minute without being scooped up and no drink was left spilled either. Additionally, towards the end of the night, *someone had had just a bit too much fun but the staff was totally cool and completely helpful. They are top notch. As you can tell, I can go on and on. But I'll stop here and close with: Have your next event here, you will not regret it!

I chose to return because of the delicious food, friendly service, along with the beautiful decor. I bragged on The View and couldn't wait to reconnect and reflect with my siblings. Unfortunately, I immediately noticed a drastic difference when arriving in the parking lot; parking spaces were limited, and there was loud music blaring as my sister and I entered the door. We inquired, and the hostess said there was a baby shower event. The music wasn't from the shower; it was coming from the DJ in the main dining area. The hostess was sweet! She answered all of our questions and ensured we had a comfortable table. We were seated and greeted by our waitress, Kendra. Kendra was kind and attentive. She immediately noticed our reaction to the loud hip-hop music, and she said she'd ask for it to be tuned down. That didn't happen. We ordered our meals and loved them! My big bro had the hot sliders, and it wasn't too spicy. One big sis had the kale salad w/Salmon, my other big sis had mac-n-cheese, and I had the catfish w/grits. We didn't love barely hearing each other speak due to the ridiculously high volume of music. I felt bad for inviting my siblings there on a Saturday afternoon. Clearly, The View appeals to different customers on certain days. However, management should be cognizant of ALL their guests. One of my sisters left with a migraine because of the music. I'll definitely visit again; however, I'll avoid Friday nights and the weekend. You should do the same, especially if you don't intend on ordering a side of "Twerking with explicit music."

We get there and immediately was seated. We were seated right in front of the kitchen area; there were no curtains or wall. Just a big open space. My friend asked could we be seated at a different table due to the smell of the garbage bin on the side of us. The young lady was kind of rude but moved us after 15 minutes. We sat and waited for our server to arrive with water and place our order. We were just sitting there for a while until I finally was able to flag someone over to us. Some guy told us that someone would be right over. Hmm we waited another 20 minutes until someone finally arrived. No hello or sorry for the wait and no water. That should have been my queue to get up and leave. We both ordered the Catfish Platter 2 Catfish fillets and fries. I ordered a side of Kale Salad without the cheese. My kale salad came out with cheese. The food was delicious despite the hiccup on my kale salad. The ambience was ok, service needs improvement and the music was too loud. The owner sent over some complimentary shots for us. The 3 stars are giving for the food.

The space is modern and comfortable--it truly feels like you're throwing a party in your own living room, without actually having to do any of the work. We had live music throughout the night, which created a fun and lively atmosphere from start to finish. John and his staff were exceptional hosts, serving up multiple courses of some of my all-time favorite dishes--Detroit-style pizza, crab cakes, key lime pie, just to name a few. From the drinks (with a sommelier and an impressive bourbon selection), to the music, to their attentiveness to each guest, every detail was thoughtfully executed. If you're looking for a personalized, intimate celebration or event, I can't recommend this place highly enough.
