I did not have a favorable experience here, unfortunately. Even before my arrival, I was slightly bothered by my mother being forced to sit outside for about 25-30 minutes before I got here. I was going out with my mother and she got there before me-- she called me while I was driving over because the hostess informed her you needed a reservation and they had no openings until after 3PM. I found this peculiar; I decided to look quickly online and saw a 1:30 and 1:45 reservation time. I attempted to call, but it was too many prompts to actually get a human.
Ultimately I arrived and I go speak to the hostess and she offered me a seat at the bar, but I declined. She said to give her a second and she came back and told me I could be seated. I saw a couple of tables empty outside. In addition, within 10 minutes all but three tables were unoccupied-- so I was confused at to what the difficulty was in seating my mother.
By this point, I'm slightly perturbed, but both the hostess and server were very nice and cordial. We order rather quickly and the food doesn't take very long to come out. We both ordered a few sides and I had a drink (Sidecar), which was decent. I had eggs, grits and home fries-- none of the food items were anything to write home about. My mother wasn't pleased with her similar items-- I believe she said her grits had onions, which she found weird.
The ambiance in the back was decent and the music playing inside was okay, but overall I wasn't pleased with anything aside from the server and hostess being personable. read more
