    This was hands down, one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had. The waitress who sang to me for my birthday was gorgeous, friendly, and kind. I wish I had the money to give her a larger tip, but I've vowed to go back and consistently bring people. I am so happy the owner took the risk to open this during COVID-19—superb black and brown space. As a writer and artist, I felt deeply inspired after leaving. It felt like home.

    Went on a dinner date with my spouse and it was a sucesss. The ambiance was very good. The food was amazing. The Cajun crab fingers was 1000/10. I highly recommend this restaurant. Music was low slow jazz, and the noise level was just right.

    As soon as you walked in you felt welcomed from the person at the front to the overall atmosphere. The food was delicious. The French toast was amazing. The shrimp gumbo was so flavourful. I do not usually eat bread but had the whole baguette to sop up the garlicky juices. My husband loved the shrimp and sausage grits. Overall an excellent experience. Wish we lived in New York.

    I loved this spot and the staff was excellent and very friendly. I wish the food had a little more kick but I do understand that some people are sensitive to hot and spicy food so it must be hard to get it just right for the general public. The shrimp étouffé was fantastic! We will be back.
