The menu was their limited "Late Night" menu for the event and we ordered at least one of pretty much everything. The service was decent for the staffing vs crowd ratio and the food was spectacular. I had concerns that the salad wouldn't fill me up, but it was not only filling but had incredibly tasty toppings that had me tempted to lick the bowl. The loaded fries were probably the most popular for our group and the boiled peanuts had the Southerners swooning. Dessert was the dirt pudding which was rich and creamy. We can't wait to go back!!

We came in for happy hour as usual and confirmed the pricing with our server before ordering. He told us everything was valid (aside from pizza), so we ordered accordingly. When the bill came, the pricing didn't match. The manager then told us happy hour hasn't existed past 7PM for six months--which makes no sense given our consistent visits--and even their Instagram still advertises it until 8PM. Instead of resolving the confusion, she responded with attitude and claimed she had been "taking care of us" previously, which was never communicated. Disappointing experience overall. Not because of the bill, but the lack of accountability and poor hospitality. We won't be back.

We ordered several items so we could try a little bit of everything. The food came out fast, which we really appreciated. Service was great overall, and the general manager was walking around checking on tables...very friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. The standout for me was the steak! Super flavorful, cooked perfectly, and topped with crunchy chips that added a nice texture. The bravas were another favorite, especially when paired with the steak. The chicken thighs were juicy and well seasoned, and the olive oil cake is a must-order. The cake was topped with sea salt which created the perfect contrast and balance for the sweetness. The only dish I didn't love was the salmon. It tasted like it had been sitting and wasn't as fresh as I expected, with a slightly fishy flavor. Everything else we tried was really good.

We originally planned on bringing some family here for their anniversary but that plan feel through so we made it into a friends catch up dinner. Right off the back LOVED our server Nimah. She was funny, helpful, and attentive. And they are on top of refilling your water so you will never go thirsty. I'm not much of a drinker, so I don't have much to say on that matter. The ambiance was nice. A lot of eclectic paintings on the walls. And loved the outfits of the servers. Very 20's speakeasy. There is a live jazz band that started performing at 7 pm. They were good but at some points it was a bit difficult to speak and listen to those at your table unless you got really close. My meal hit the spot. We started with a charcuterie board for the table. It had a lot of great options like dried apricots, actual honeycomb pieces, and my most favorite cheese, some Brie cheese. The only thing was there was only 4 pieces of bread, one for each of us, which wasn't enough but I guess it made sense not to fill us up too much. For my main meal I had the sweet potato salad which was very tasty and the sweet potato risotto, which a little spicy kick. The only thing I missed was the Brussels sprouts and potatoes but was told that was from the previous chef. But they serve you enough so you definitely will have left overs. Not a big fan of eating in the lounge areas, those are best just for drinks and maybe desserts. But it's definitely a great place to people watch. You will definitely have a meal and a show no matter what. Hopefully can schedule another time to bring my family because I know they would love it.
