  So, we’ve heard and read rave reviews about this restaurant. We thought why not celebrate Valentine’s Day here! We made reservations for lunch and were seated right away when we arrived. We ordered drinks. My husband ordered a certain brand of beer, but they were out. No biggie. He ordered a second brand of beer, waited, and found out they were out of that too. The waiter asked the bartender what they had and the hubby settled for that. It was good he said. We placed all our orders. I wanted the Korean tacos but they were out. So I decided to order fried catfish with 3 sides. After waiting awhile, the waiter comes back and tells us there’s only 2 orders of catfish left and they were out of mac n cheese. So I just went with 2 sides and the hubby decided to forgo his catfish dinner for the burger that was still available. We waited and waited. The waiter comes back and tells us they gave away our catfish to someone else! By this time we were hungry and very annoyed. I reluctantly wound up settling for the smothered pork loin. My mom didn’t get anything bc she didn’t like what was left. My husband planned this day for his special ladies and was upset that our mom couldn’t even have a meal here. We wound up ordering a catfish dinner to pick up otw home from Aunt B’s. Great catfish dinner btw. On a busy day like Valentines Day, the kitchen should have been prepared for an extra busy crowd. This was only lunch. They blamed it on the pre-Valentines Day crowd. The manager blamed it on the kitchen. Ultimately, the blame goes to the manager. As sweet, apologetic, and accommodating as she was, the blame does fall on her to make sure everything runs smoothly. The waiter was so sweet and we felt really bad for him, having to keep running back to us with bad news. At this point we took whatever lunch was served to go, as we no longer wanted to spend anymore time at the restaurant . The mood was spoiled. This was our first time here and for a special occasion. It was ruined. In the end, our check was discounted and we were given a $50 gift card so that we can return for hopefully a better experience. Unfortunately, my mom was so irritated that she said she never wants to return. The food we took home, for the most part, was good. My sweet potatoes were bland and not great, but the greens and smothered pork chop were good. My daughter’s Cuban sandwich was ok, but she said she had better in Miami. Fries were tasty. Hubby’s burger was good. Not sure if we’ll return anytime soon. Maybe after we get over this experience, we may give them a second chance to prove themselves deserving of all the five stars reviews we have heard about.

  This place instantly became one of our favorites!! Everything we ordered (from lunch menu) was fresh and awesome - including rosemary biscuit that I forgot to take a picture. Our waiter Kevin was attentive and gave great descriptions about their food with his knowledge. And one last friendly reminder: bring cash to save you a convenience fee for using cards.
