    They clearly are not able to honor thei reservation times, or be honest about wait times, saying it would be a few minutes maybe 10, which turned into a lot more wait until I made a fuss. The table we ended up being seated at had been set up and empty for more than 20 minutes, so I think it’s more of a service or back of house issue. The noise level is very loud and it only takes a few people laughing and talking loudly to destroy the atmosphere. The flavors, however, were wonderful, though the portions of pasta, very small. I think they’re better options in a city like this..

    My group of four had an amazing time dining. All of the food was incredible, but the pineapple upside down cornbread was to die for. The seafood gumbo had just the right amount of spice, and everyone was pleased with their entrees and desserts. While the food alone was incredible, Rashid’s service was fantastic. He was incredibly helpful with recommendations, knowledgeable about the menu, and mastered the balance of making sure our group was pleased while not being overwhelming.

    The food was good to very good. In some cases the things we chose were outstanding—but in a few cases it seemed like things were not as wonderful as we expected that they would be. We got a great table in the corner, but even still it was quite a noisy room. The decor was very cohesive and comfortable. Not overly done, but showed thought and consistency in design. The staff was very good.

    Hostess and manager could not problem solve for a unique situation due to weather delays. Refused to seat reservation unless 'majority' was present. Wish they could of allowed people who were on time to be seated and order while those late due to rain delays held up reservation. Made a 12:15 reservation and should have been allowed to sit for our hour, not delayed.

    The food here is delicious but we certainly had to wait a long time for it. The waiter kept forgetting to bring dishes to the table and we had to remind them of what was missing.
