   Definitely not the same quality in service or food as we had at the downtown location before. Prices definitely have gone up but that is to be somewhat expected during times like these. Salmon cakes were overcooked unfortunately. Server didn’t make sure our drinks were ever refilled. Had to ask and she wasn’t too busy from what we could tell. Catfish bites definitely tasted different and we just weren’t impressed like we were when they were downtown. We won’t be back unfortunately. Definitely a disappointment from earlier days.

   Went in for lunch & food was good. The restaurant was very quiet, nice and bright. Tables were very roomy and not close together. Management came around a few times to check on you and your meal. Great for lunch, dinner, first date or any special occasion. I would recommend you would really enjoy yourself.

   I cannot say enough about the service and ambiance in this restaurant. The manager came by our table multiple times to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and our food and drinks were what we expected. The chef came out and asked how a particular dish was that one of our group had asked to be prepared a different way than descibed on the menu. The whole decor was beautiful , the seating was very comfortable. The food was definitely Southern Food to the fullest and all incredibly delicious. Highly recommend!

   The prices are ridiculously high for food that is MID at best. The restaurant looks good visually. Staff was pleasant. Drinks were good. Would I go back? NO.

   We had a reservation for 8 people. Unfortunately one more person showed up and they refused to seat her. There were plenty of empty tables but they said no. We waited over 30 minutes for our drinks. The food was good but way over priced. This is my second time there first and last. I will never go back because of the way I was treated. There was no reason not to seat that extra person ad there were plenty of empty tables.

    Always have the best experience and the waitress was so attentive, beautiful smile, energy and amazing customer service that is so necessary these days. My highlight as always is seeing the beautiful Ms. Shane and taking a picture with her. I will be back next week lol.
