Stopped by here for lunch today. They are located right off of Hull St next to Sheets. You would miss it if you were not looking for it. I didn't even see the sign until I began walking to the entrance. We were met at the door by the hostess and seated promptly. The dining room was on the small side, but was tastefully decorated with photos of African American musicians. We were presented with the menu, which I was disappointed because it was only the lunch menu. I had perused the dinner menu on the website and was looking forward to trying one of the entrees. Nevertheless, I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy and my companion ordered the vegetable platter, consisting of collard greens, sweet potatoes and mac & cheese. There was a bit of a wait for the food but everything came out fresh and hot. I noticed immediately, however, that my shrimp still had the tails on them. Being that this was a sandwich, I feel the tails should have been removed before they were fried. Despite this oversight, I thought the shrimp were seasoned well and the sandwich was good. It came with sweet potato fries, which were also very good. The mac & cheese and collard greens on the vegetable platter were good, the sweet potatoes, not so much. They could have been sweeter and it just seemed like they were missing something. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding. There was a bit of a wait for the bread pudding (there was only one other party of 3 in the restaurant). The bread pudding came out warm, in a sizeable square shape, big enough to share. It had whipped cream on top, but surprisingly had no raisins in it. While I enjoyed the flavor, I definitely think they could raise it up a notch by adding raisins and serving it with vanilla ice cream instead of whipped cream. Overall, I thought the food was good. The prices, however, were on the high side. At these prices, I would expect that I wouldn't have to peel the tails off my Shrimp Po Boy and that my bread pudding would have some raisins. This is a new restaurant, I think this is their first week, so hopefully these things are corrected.
Food is good old fashioned style soul food but with a great modern artistic vibe. Small and intimate seating with friendly chef. My only issue was that the young waiter didn't know the menu at all. He couldn't recommend anything. He couldn't even tell us about the muffins/bread.
Hopefully he will actually try the food himself and get better educated about where he works
We have eaten there 6 times and they have only been open a week.... obviously, we have enjoyed our meals. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the food definitely delicious! My favorite is the catfish, cheese grits, collard greens, pound cake, bread pudding, fried green tomatoes, peach salmon, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, shrimp & grits, sweet potato muffins...... all mouthwatering delightful.
I am positive all items on the menu will be equally as delicious and will continue to return to dine with this great team of people.
This was my first visit. The atmosphere was nice and my bride and I arrived for dinner right before the rush arrived. So, we got a good table! The chef and owner came out to ensure we were having a pleasant dining experience which added to the great time we had.
Thursday night dinner for two. The space is intimate, tastefully decorated. Staff is warm and knowledgeable. Food was delicious!!! We had the BLT salad ( fried green tomatoes to die for!), gee chee paella ( great curry spice), and shrimp & grits (huge shrimp cooked perfectly with cheesy grits). We will definitely return.
Highly recommend, food, service, atmosphere .. were great.
