   It’s gorgeous inside. I had the burger, truffle fries, spinach & artichoke dip. Everything was pretty good. The portion size for the fries were really small. The menu isn’t huge so it’s probably best to look before you go. They also told us we had to leave like 15 minutes before our 2 hour reservation was up. We were almost done but I’ve just never been rushed out before. Despite that, the service was really great.

   My best friend and I had the pleasure of visiting recently and our overall experience was wonderful. We were running a little behind on our reservation and called in advance to alert the staff. We were more focused on getting in and catching up that we missed the opportunity for pictures 😊. I can however assure you that the vibe was a great one. The location is great, we loved the ambiance, the crowd was chill, and the music and atmosphere was nice! The food AND drinks were amazing! We particularly enjoyed the Catfish dip with the crackers (we ordered extra crackers, they were so good). I would definitely recommend anyone looking to enjoy a great bite to eat, with awesome drinks and a nice chill vibe, coupled with great customer service. We look forward to visiting again!

   Dined for the first time before a show at the auditorium theater. Great option for pre show dining. Decor is warm and inviting. Service is very good, attentive and helpful. Food is delicious. Biscuits were fluffy and soft. Brussels sprouts salad was very good. Large enough for 2. Oxtails and purple grits were flavorful and unique. Excellent choice. Lamb was also very good and seasoned very well. Drinks are good. Great happy hour options. Only miss for us was the banana pudding. Will try another option next time. This will be another go to dinner spot.

   I recently dined at Etc., and overall, my experience had its highs and lows. Parking was easy to find, which was a plus. I also called ahead to let them know I was running late, and they were very accommodating, which I appreciated. Our waitress was friendly and helpful, but I do wish she had checked on us more often. One highlight was that when I didn’t like my drink, they replaced it with a delicious lemon-inspired alternative, which I really enjoyed. For appetizers, we ordered the deviled eggs, biscuits, and fried green tomatoes. My mother and cousins tried the deviled eggs and found them mediocre. The biscuits, however, were amazing! Unfortunately, the fried green tomatoes lacked flavor and weren’t very enjoyable. For my main course, I ordered the Cacio e Pepe, but the noodles were undercooked, making it difficult to eat. My mother had the half chicken with mashed potatoes, but the potatoes were cold, and she found the meal just okay. One of my cousins got the oxtails and grits, which tasted good, but the grits were cold. Another cousin ordered the lamb T-bone, and while her mashed potatoes were also cold, the lamb itself was seasoned to perfection, and the Brussels sprouts were delicious—I couldn’t stay off her plate! The mac and cheese, however, was disappointing; it lacked flavor and just wasn’t good. For dessert, we had the banana pudding, but it was underwhelming. It lacked banana flavor and had too much cinnamon, making it taste plain. The ambiance was also a drawback—the restaurant was so dark that we could barely see our food. Overall, while there were some great dishes, the inconsistency in temperature and flavors, along with the dim lighting, made the experience less enjoyable than I had hoped. I would consider giving it another try, but I’d hope for better execution next time.

   Great vibe with delicious food. Try the deviled eggs, you will want more than 1! Fried green tomatoes are yummy and the chicken skins are to die for. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.
