"I really enjoyed my experience for brunch today. I had the fried fish basket with greens and red beans and rice. My husband had the lamb chops with dirty rice and okra. They have my favorite red beans and rice in the city. The service was spectacular. My servers name was Trish. She was excellent!"

"My coworkers wanted to try this place so we came out today for our monthly luncheon. Heads up, EVERYONE loved their meals (and we all got different meals so that's saying a lot). I got the red bean express with a lemonade and some beignets. Not only did the entire meal have nice presentation just like in the photos but it tasted equally as amazing as it looked coming out. Everything was hot, fresh and adequately seasoned. The portions, for the lunch size and price were more than substantial. As I write this, I'm eating the other half of my lunch for dinner! They didn't have the cornbread at first but before we were leaving James (our insanely awesome waiter) came and brought us fresh cornbread in to-go boxes that the chef had just made. He actually gave us garlic bread in lieu of the cornbread on TOP of the cornbread he later brought out. I can't say enough about James and his wonderful demeanor. He was so gregarious and knowledgeable about the dishes, giving us sound advice to make a choice since we none had been there before. Give that man a SUBSTANTIAL raise. He was working alone when it picked up as we were leaving so I know he had a lot on his plate, yet he was still efficient and made us feel right at home. I love that the front has windows throughout cause I love to people watch anywhere we eat out. The wings with the meal... I can't sing their praises enough. I usually don't even like wings cause I'm lazy and hate sifting through all the bones for just a little bit of meat, but maaaaaaannnn.... I slicked those bones CLEAN, that meat was so juicy and tender. We're definitely gonna put this place back in the rotation for the future. Finally, if you have a group of 6 or more, I believe, they do charge a 20% (?) tip automatically, but hey. I loved the food and staff so much I tipped extra anyway. Got no issues tipping when the place is so great like this one was. Can't wait to try more in the future!"
