   Restaurant Closed. Although I had a reservation, I was not informed of the closure until I arrived for brunch. I am extremely disappointed to have driven to the restaurant, only to find it closed. The building's condition was also in disrepair, with a noticeable odor of dogs.

   The experience was overall positive. The hostess was also the waitress. When it did get busy, they were having to multitask. However was aware of the wait and made a point to apologize. We accepted and understood. Chef delivered food and stated they were short staffed at the time. Food was great and the dessert( bread pudding) was the best i ever had 👍🏾

   We went on a Saturday night and everything was great about the service and the food. We’ve been there a few times, but this time there was literally no one else in the restaurant the entire time we were there. It’s just a little odd. I’m not sure what was causing it that night, but it was very quiet. This was also the same night. The album and football game was going on so there could’ve been some of that being the reason it’s just on a Saturday night. I was a little surprised.

   Stop here during a work trip in Alabama and it was the cutest little place. Very regal with beautiful art work all over. Got to meet the Chef/Owner and he was so kind and even made some Brussel sprouts for us that weren’t on the menu. The food was divine !! The service was fantastic!

   I mean this to come across in the nicest way possible.. we used to love it here. Always looked forward to it and always enjoyed the food. Last three times were not acceptable. Last night I really thought it would be good again. We were the only ones there, on a Friday night, and my filet was not hot. It was also really tough, the sides were not the normal sides and were not good. My husband questioned he even got the correct thing. Our appetizer wasn't fully cooked either. Our waiter was awesome so we didn't complain about a thing and just had a good look around and said bye to a place we truly used to enjoy. It's not acceptable to pay over $150 for food like that. The last few times we've been here, there's been next to no one there. I'm starting to think the new subpar food is being noticed by all. I hate to see any business fail. I really hope they fix things. We, however, have given it too many chances. When you were awesome, you didn't compare to the other downtown establishments, Last night, we left over $150 less and hungry.

   Second time my friends and I have been here for brunch and it has been great both times. Chicken and Waffles were delicious as was the West Indies Salad Avocado Toast. Beautiful decor and very friendly service!

   The food was delicious. Very upscale brunch. Nothing too traditional, which is what I was looking for. The restaurant is very nice and the patio is inviting. Going into the building looks like a shelter. Very undesirable looking but the restaurant is on the 2nd floor and it's like you've entered another world. The elevators were broken which caused people to walk up to the 2nd floor or down from the 2nd floor to the lobby.

    We really didn’t know what to expect but it exceeded our expectations. The service was good and the food was very good! The street in front of the building was nasty and should be cleaned up which is not the fault of the restaurant. The city needs to do better to keep human excrement off the streets.
