   Complicated menu explained by friendly host; the 'food flight' was an odd grouping of food choices, though tasty. A tiny bowl of gumbo was $14, and a full size version of an entree at more than double the price of the small plate was not much larger. Service was fine.

   Wow! This was the best meal I’ve had out in a very long time. Our server gave us great advice and the deliciousness of the deviled eggs w a fried oyster and bechamel(?) on top sounded strange but tasted AMAZING! Every bite was truly spectacular. The four of us raved about the food and service. My back was to the dining room so little comment on the ambiance. Happy to spend the money here - they earned it. Will go back and recommend it endlessly. Yum!

   The idea of a three-course tasting menu is great. The fact that all three courses come to your table at the same time is not great. Instead of enjoying each plate you end up with one dish that is nice and hot, one dish that is lukewarm, and one dish that is stone cold. Even if you eat off of all three plates at the same time it is impossible to enjoy all the food at the proper temperature, much less also enjoy the wine pairings. A fine enough idea that for me was let down by the execution.

   The food was great but the service was so slow. It took forever to get a drink. I mean forever. We were there for 3 hours. Very inattentive service, I couldn’t even get someone to get the check.

   Great atmosphere and ambiance. We sat at the bar and enjoyed full menu. A large group from an event next door ended up coming in soon after we arrived so sound level became noisier than upon arrival and was quite busy but overall wasn’t an issue. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and nicely presented.

   A gem with some rough edges, owing to newness, I'm sure. We enjoyed Colette's Wine Bar and its successor in this location, Margeaux Supper Parlor promises to be as good or better, in the same attractive setting and ambiance. But it's not there yet: the options for ordering were confusing (more options than shown on the menu) and the sampler portions we ordered, while delicious and sufficient, were served on plates so small that for some dishes, one with cascading rice, it was hard not to knock food off onto the table while using one's fork. Very odd! The restaurant was packed and noisy on a Friday night; our charming waitperson was overwhelmed, as were most of the staff, so we received dinner before any drinks arrived, and waited quite a while to order dessert. But it's early days, we understand that, and we will return.

   Great food and interesting concept. The parking in the area is very difficult. The service this time left much to be desired- while one of the hosts was great, she couldn’t carry it for the slow and inattentive waiter assigned to our table. We had to fight to get our food and drinks in the order we intended. I literally only saw the waiter twice: at ordering time and check time. The food was delivered finally with signs it had been sitting : cold fries on the steak tip dish and lukewarm meat for example.

   The concept was great loved the ambiance however it was sooo cold in there, it wasn’t much of a difference compared to outside and it was very cold on Friday night. The food was delicious BUT most of the meals were cold and I don’t mean lukewarm we didn’t complain because we were hungry and it was good besides the temperature. ( I do want to note our reservation was at 9:30/ kitchen closes at 10 but the establishment itself 11:45 the chefs understandably so must’ve wanted to get home) Drinks were good and the free birthday shots to the table were very appreciated. Overall and 8/10 and I be back

    Waitress seemed disinterested and checked out. Overall, a bit awkward but food was good. Music selection is poorly matched to the ambiance. Bar service was slow.
