This was my first time and I enjoyed the food. My Friend and I got there exactly when they opened. We made a reservation but since we arrived so early it probably wasn't necessary, but still probably a good idea. Our server was polite and checked on us regularly along with the owner. The menu had so many great choices it was hard to choose, but once I did I was not disappointed. My friend and I shared the Mambo Shrimp Deviled eggs which were delicious and I ordered the I'm starving French toast combo with turkey sausage. All the food came out in decent timing and tasted delicious. There is ample parking and the restaurant is located within an office building so you might not notice it right away but Google maps will lead you right there. All in all I had a great first experience and would visit again.

Went on a Sunday for brunch. The food was delicious! I tried two different types of deviled eggs. The mimosas were perfect! The staff and chef were very friendly. Besides my friend and I there were only 2 other customers. Not sure if it was just a slow Sunday but hopefully the business picks up, definitely will go back
Me and my friend visited for the first time based on an IG post. We had their wine margarita, catfish nuggets, honey lemon pepper wings, old bay wings, jerk chicken Ceasar salad, and salmon Ceasar salad. The drink tasted good and had a good punch (they don't seem to sell more than wine). The catfish nuggets were seasoned perfectly. We didn't even need the aioli sauce that came with it. I liked the Honey Lemon Pepper wings better than the Old Bay wings (a bit too salty for me). But they were juicy and had a good crisp on the skin. If you're getting the Jerk, be ready for some spice! It is spicy (and I like spice). The Chicken Jerk salad was good but also a bit salty for me as well. But the coolness of the lettuce was a good balance. They had croutons that I swear were homemade. They had a good flavor on their own. Overall, the food was good. The reason I gave a 3 vs. 4 is the service. They people are very pleasant but it took a long time to get our food. Maybe giving bread or something can help us not notice how long it took to get the food. They're new, so I'm sure they'll work out those kinks. I also recommend they get a bigger sign or put a sign on the road. The restaurant is in an office building and you can't easily tell where to go into the restaurant. One item of note...if you're paying with a credit card, they only take one card (you can't split checks or get separate checks). I can't wait to see their rise. They are off to a good start.
I had an awesome first time experience! Overall everything was great! Customer service was fantastic, the food was delicious and the owner even came to my table to greet me and asked how everything was :-) I got the seafood grits 10/10, the French toast with the scrambled eggs and turkey sausages 10/10. I highly recommend for everyone to try this restaurant.
Ok ok. The owner turned it around for us. The situation was going down hill fast and bad. After waiting over 45+ for our food. I really wanted to try the devil egg and have the bacon removed. I order devil eggs at other establishments and ask them to remove whatever I don’t want. They do it with no problem. This time they said oh no we can’t. Which makes no sense to me if you don’t want bacon just take it off. We decided on the wings since that was the only option really. The wing appetizer was extremely salty. It came out with only my boyfriends mom order. The appetizer is suppose to come out before your meal. We was extremely disappointed. We order lemon pepper it just tasted like they poured salt all over the wings. We returned them and the manager said oh if I say these I wouldn’t have bought them out. Meanwhile we ask for some plates to eat with the plate they bought me was dirty. We ask for more water over 4x we were parched after trying to eat 2 of those salt wings. On bright side the manager bought out replacement wings. Free of charge and for the wait she bought out a compliments French toast meal. So I guess that did make up for it. The food was really good I finally got my burger it was amazing. I enjoyed every bite. We would come back and give them a second chance. It’s some other things on the menu that I would like to try. They were busy with a party. However a floor manager needs to be present to help facilitate a smooth operation. Also the social media needs to be elevated. I shop based on social media. Maybe get some influencers to post about your food.
