    This speakeasy-ish spot was crazy wonderful - once we found it! It’s tucked away on a side street off of Beale. The appetizer - smoked bacon with goat cheese and currants - slayed. Our waiter, Greg, couldn’t have been nicer. In terms of interiors, the blue-tinted windows framed in rough hewn wood that contrasted to the boxy, modern light fixtures, (set low, of course), plus the live blues music duo nestled in the corner was intoxicatingly delicious. It’s right up there on my list of exquisite dining experiences. Even better, since we ate there we got free tickets to the blues club below. It’s the total date night package. Such a kick!

    It was cool. Cajun chicken paste wasn't worth $26 for the very small portion you get. The taste was a tad bit above average but nothing to brag about. Love the location and might recommend it to others.
