Went for brunch on a Saturday. The food was so good! And the beignets were delightful! However, the service was terrible. Like laughably terrible. About four different staff members helped us with different things, and their demeanor made them look like they would rather do anything else other than help us. Though none of them were rude, none of them were even a little friendly. Keep that in mind and be patient with it but know that the food is worth it.
This is the perfect spot for a boozy brunch. I ordered the jambalaya, which was good, with a savory gravy. However, the standout dish was the dark chicken with waffles - one of the best I've ever tasted. The chicken was incredibly tender and crunchy. The bottomless drinks were lacking in taste, but they definitely got me tipsy quickly.
I really enjoy the food at this restaurant, however, the service leaves much to be desired. The dishes are all amazing, but you may need to actively seek out your server for assistance, even during quieter times.
I've loved this place in the past, but I showed up yesterday evening to find it closed despite the website being up, and reservations still being taken online!! Update: searched online and it looks like they permanently closed Dec 18! Looks like the website is severely outdated.
