Description

Nestled on Ambaum Avenue, this contemporary café delivers standout Southern-leaning brunch and comfort dishes—from jambalaya and chicken-fried steak to towering French toast—paired with a full bar and inventive cocktails. Bright, art-filled dining rooms, a sunny terrace and private areas suit families, groups and brunch lovers; service is mostly friendly and fast. Occasional uneven dish execution, sporadic inattentiveness and a reported staff-theft allegation temper what is otherwise excellent flavor and value.

Consistently excellent food with a welcoming neighborhood vibe. They have fantastic happy hour specials. Whenever I'm unsure about where to go, I always find myself returning here.

The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere of the place was really nice. The food and drinks were also excellent. I will definitely be a regular visitor whenever I'm in the area.

I loved the food here, jambalaya, prime rib sandwich, even the jambalaya grits. But my issue with this establishment isn't the food, it's the people working there. You see i dropped my ear buds underneath a dining table, and am certain because somebody in my party mentioned later in the evening seeing my ear buds on the floor( I was distracted and didn't hear them tell me at that exact moment in the restaurant. Anyways....I get home and realize my buds are missing and i re-traced my steps. Cleared out my car, called the restaurant and was told the busser looked and didn't find them. I couldn't believe it, so I went back and looked myself. Sure enough Sara(waitress told me there's no Barbuds. So 100% know either the busser, waitress took those buds. You might ask why don't I located my buds using the feature to track them....I never set it up. Lesson learned. But the fact that this establishment has shady employees is reason enough to never visit again. Really! $120 used earbuds was worth it classic eats. Don't let me find either of yall wearing those earbuds in public, I've got them marked so I'll know if they're mine or not. Shady shady shady

Loved our food! Service was great. Our only complaint is that the music was a little loud.
