Stepped in and was greeted by the nicest lady who immediately offered me a sip of their "uptown" drink - a mix of iced tea and lemonade. It was quite tasty. That was just the beginning of the warmth that this establishment exuded, they were super nice and friendly. They asked my name, but I forgot to ask theirs. As I waited for my food, she began bringing me samples of the sides and desserts. She had me sample the banana pudding (she asked first if I ate bananas) - this was super flavorful of banana, as another review said, not just vanilla pudding with some sliced bananas in it. Beyond that, she brought me a little piece of frosted banana bread, a dense, rich flavorful lemony cake, and a frosted pound cake. The lemony one was my favorite. Next came a bit of sweet potatoes, with huge flavor that I haven't really experienced before in a dish like this. She also let me try the mac and cheese (great spices in it!) and collard greens (tastes just how you expect!), as well as one of their "French fries" which is a round slice of potato, really good and so much more interesting than normal fries. She brought this out with her rib sauce to taste/dip, which was also good. She also had some great conversation about boxing and bringing the neighborhood together. When I got my food, it was bursting out of the takeout container and she had to use a rubber band to keep it closed. The cutlery set came with A dumdum lollipop and a piece of bubble gum as well. I ordered: 2 piece fried chicken - leg and thigh with mac and cheese and collard greens and cornbreak. They also added a few fries in, coleslaw, and hot sauce. The chicken was tasty, but the pieces were huge! The cornbread was dense and sweet, delicious. The coleslaw was super creamy. I'll be back and I'd encourage anyone nearby to check it out.

The thing is a restaurant should care about every single plate they put out - so when a restaurant dishes a take out order they know is subpar - I lose respect. I got there early in the day around 11am, ordered takeout of 2 sides roast potatoes and sautéed garlic. What I received was boiled potatoes that obviously had sat in water too long and became water logged. The spinach didn't even have fresh garlic slivers which is the main feature along with the olive oil. They used the little dried garlic that you shake out of a bottle you can find in the season aisle of any store. I called the store my call was just passed around.

Perfectly cooked and the sauce was perfect for scooping up with the fresh bread that was served with a nice little dish of olives when first sat down. Eggplant appetizer was grilled with a spice medley that beautifully enhanced the caramelization. It was vegetable preparation at its best. We had 2 whole fish entrees. A Dorado and Branzino. Both incredibly fresh and straight from the ice case that you can view and inspect on your way in. First preparation was an Egyptian style blackened rub. Very flavorful and cooked with precision. Crispy skinned and moist flaky inside. The second was also grilled with a topping in a similar manner to the sauce the shrimp appetizer was served in. Also very well executed. Service was welcoming and warm. The chef/waiter was beyond helpful and we appreciated his help with our selections. Absolutely worth the trip. We will return and you should make this a priority to try if you haven't already.

Just finish dinner in this buffet. Wednesday night: $15.99 per person. This place is amazing!! They…read moredo not have cold mussel or raw oyster, but they have lots of crab legs! The crab legs taste very great as well as the size!! Crawfish is the same, great size and clean. Cooked shrimp is a little but too overdone, but the clams and cooked mussels are great! The baked mussel is the best tho! The sushi is alright, average. If you like seafood especially crab legs, this is definitely the place to go to. Their refilling is way better than other buffet. Great amount of refill each timeI will definitely come back again for soon! If you consider coming on a weekend. The price is $16.99 per person. However, the foods are gone really quickly and you may have to eat like you are in a war or something. Especially crab legs, you will see many people waiting around it to refill with the plate, then 4-5 people will fight through each other and grab as much crab legs as possible. Every refill is a war. Also, the crab legs in weekend are very salty. I felt like I ate a whole bottle of salt. Cooked shrimp is very soggy and it is very hard to take the shell off. Crawfish, mussel, clam, and others are normal. I do find the tempura crab is kind of tasty, but it's very depends on individual's sense of taste. I will only come here on weekdays because I don't want to have a dinner which I have to be in a war.

A quick heads-up: on Google Maps it's listed as Ceviche 517, but the sign on the building says Tavern 517, which initially threw us off. We were circling around until we decided to just trust the physical address--and we're so glad we did. As soon as we walked in, the name didn't even matter anymore. The decor is stunning--definitely has an upscale, Instagram-worthy vibe with a modern lounge feel. We might've come a little early because the place was quiet when we arrived, but that worked in our favor as we got to settle in comfortably and explore the menu. Drinks were a mixed experience. We tried the margarita flight, which included coconut, passion fruit, and strawberry. The coconut and passion fruit margaritas were absolutely delicious--fresh, balanced, and memorable. The strawberry, however, was a big miss--tasted like kid's medicine and no one at the table could finish it. We also ordered a drink called something like Chicola--it had ginger ale, lime juice, and some type of liquor, and unfortunately, it was another one we couldn't get through. The flavors just didn't mix well, and everyone at the table agreed it was a no for us. On the flip side, the Perfect Mule with a strawberry twist, the Henny Mojito, and a bold and fun drink called No Sheets were much better received. Menus are displayed on sleek tablets, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that the in-house menu offered way more options than what's listed online. And the food? Absolutely excellent. The Tallarín Saltado with vegetables was beyond delicious--we placed it in the center so everyone could dig in. The ceviche flight was fresh and flavorful, and the jalea (a fried seafood platter) didn't last long on the table either. One friend had the larger ceviche bowl paired with a mojito and already asked to come back just for that combo. Even the kid's arroz chaufa with chicken impressed us, with a big enough portion for leftovers. If there's one thing that fell flat, it was the atmosphere--at least early in the evening. When we arrived, the music playing sounded like retro video game tunes, but thankfully it transitioned into upbeat Spanish hits, including some great bachata that gave the space some energy. All in all, despite a few drink misses and a quiet start, this spot is a gem. The food alone is worth the trip, and we're definitely planning to return--next time a little later in the evening to hopefully catch a livelier vibe!

Came here on a Friday night, walked inside the bar not knowing the restaurant entrance is on the parking lot, people were nice to point us through the kitchen to the restaurant. The place is very interesting, a lot of different artwork and decor. They serve complimentary bread with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. Started off with the Cowboy Calamari ($19.95) and it was delicious. The calamari was nice and crispy, it was drizzled with some sort of sweet sauce. This was actually the highlight of the night, I highly recommend getting this. For my main, I ordered the 12 oz ribeye ($24.95) with onion rings ($4). The ribeye was bigger than 12 oz, it was huge. I got it medium but it came out medium rare, which if fine with me. The ribeye was good and very filling, just know you get what you pay for. Overall it was a good experience with interesting atmosphere. * Reatuarant entrance on the side of parking lot * Parking on premise and Street parking * Get the Cowboy Calamari
