The food was good. I did look over the menu before arriving and then again once I had been seated. It was not until I went to order that I found out that the drink menu had changed but wasn’t updated online and I was handed the wrong one when I was sat so the drink I wanted couldn’t be made. Aside from that, we had a great experience. Everything was good and our server was attentive.

Good visit just not great. Would have liked a little more avocado on the iast because that’s essentially why I ordered it because of the Avocado but that’s my preference. Will come back to try another dish. The order of grits had too much cheese so next time will order grits without the cheese

The automatic 15% gratuity on all bills impacts the customer service. When we sat down a party of four was given one drink menu but no food menus. In addition, I was charged a total of $23.00 for a margarita. When I asked about the price I was told the liquor was $19.50 and the margarita mix was $3.50. This was not explained when I ordered the drink. Unfortunately I will not be back, the food is an 7 out of 10 but the price gauging and bad customer service make it not appealing.
