We got a same day reservation for a table for four, which was super convenient (glad we did! . Our server was incredibly friendly and knowledgable, weabsolutely loved her! We ordered the ribs and jambalaya croquettes to start, which were both so so tasty! Their brunch disheswere simple, yet delicious in every way. The chef truly knows what he is doing, as the food is so fresh with bold flavors. Wewill definitely be back here, highly recommend for a great meal!
