A few of my friends bragged about the food and I had to try it. Went a little earlier in the day…read morecause I guess it's more lounge l vibes later in the night and I just wanted to sit and eat. They have a parking lot, so easy parking. I didnt make a reservation but walked in and was seated immediately. Dim lights and everything had a hint of purple to it. Definitely like the change from what it was before when crazy Cajun was there. Just a chill kick back spot for food and drinks and good music. I ordered catfish strips and some wings. Didnt realize it was happy hour for wings though, or else I would have got more. It did take a bit for the food to come out but it was hot, fresh and cooked to perfection when it did. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Only issue was I didnt understand the tab at first. In a digital world where we dont get to see the actual tab, I had to ask why it was the price it was. She told me tax, but when I got the actual receipt, it was actually because they added gratuity. I just think being transparent about that goes a long way, and I actually tipped 7% on top of the %15 already on there. Other than that, a really good experience and I would definitely go back for more food.

The music was a whole vibe -- smooth R&B and Hip-Hop set the perfect mood. The service was just…read moreokay, nothing special. There was a bit of a wait, but the food arrived hot and well-seasoned.

I got a steak which came with grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes. The steak was pretty good quality, and was also seasoned very well. It also had a little bit of grill flavor. The mashed potatoes were a good consistency - creamy but also a little bit of potato texture. The grilled asparagus was fresh and grilled the perfect amount. They were grilled so that they were very smokey but still nice and crunchy. Overall this place is really solid - the service is polite and fast, and the food is actually decent.

You enter through a door in the back of the building where the parking is located. I had…read morepreviously been here for a birthday party outside but had never been inside. Upon entering we were greeted by a woman who was clearly wearing multiple hats as she seemed rushed, a bit off putting and quite frankly distracted. It was Juneteenth the middle of the afternoon and there were maybe 6 people at the bar and one other table besides ours with 2 diners. The person seating us was also our server and the bartender. Menu is small but the items we ordered were all fabulous! Every single one! The collard green dip with cornbread pita chips was absolutely delicious - Think spinach artichoke dip but soul food! The salmon croquettes with lemon herb aioli and arugula salad that accompanied were fresh and light! The catfish sandwich with fries was hot, crispy and well seasoned with fresh lettuce and tomato on a perfectly tender brioche bun. I want to return so bad for the food but it was clear this host, server, bartender and partial cook was pulled in too many directions and that severely compromised our service and gave us stand off energy as first time patrons. I looked it up and she is actually one of the owners. She came across as irritated especially once we didn't order any alcoholic drinks first and then very short and curt following. What took the cake was her telling us she was leaving for the day and needed to close our tab while we were eating. Didn't ask did we want to order anything else and there was another server taking her place and an empty restaurant! My partner had to put his sandwich down wipe his hands pull out his wallet while she stood there impatiently. Then proceeded to linger around hugging her regular bar patrons. It was clear this is a "regulars" spot and if you're not one you're rolling the dice on the service you may or may not get. We were patient and didn't complain because it was Juneteenth and our intention to support black restaurants all weekend. I have many previous years in the industry as a cook, host and GM and I was stunned to know that she was one of the owners when I looked it up. Had planned to return for live music but unfortunately the off putting energy and unwelcoming vibe may have squashed that possibility. I hope they improve service because the food is delicious and deserves attention from a larger and more sophisticated audience.

As a NS4L and small business owner, I've tried to support this business, but tonight, my third…read moreattempt was the last straw. I made a reservation on Resy (I'll be letting American Express know that this establishment doesn't honor such things) for my birthday celebration at 7 pm. It was 7:30 before our order for beverages was taken. Then 8 pm before drinks arrived and appetizers could be ordered. At 8:45 pm, we finally could put in our dinner order. Only to be notified st 8:59 pm that our table (along with several others) were reserved for friends of the host for the second part of night and we needed to vacate the table for other people We had to box our just arrived dinner meals and stand with our drinks. Several nearby tables offered to let us sit with them as they thought it was awful that we were upended and we standing there with full drinks and our meals in cardboard containers. When we told our waitress that we wouldn't have ordered dinner or more drinks if we had known, she said that she found out one minute before she told us. She offered us two seats at a couch nearby to finish our drinks and try to eat our dinners. Only for the owner Fonzie to come over a couple minutes later and tell us that we couldn't sit there because other people were coming in for that spot too. Nothing in the reservation said that it was a limited slot and the fact that even the waitress was unaware that we were going to have to leave to table literally after our dinner was brought to us speaks to the lack of business management or understanding of this establishment. I've tried to give this spot a chance. But after a very disappointing attempt to celebrate my birthday this evening, I will not be returning. The lack of any attempt by Fonzie to rectify this situation was disappointing at best. Several hundred dollars down the drain and a ruined birthday celebration Is not how I envisioned my evening I normally do not make my posts public/sharable. But this time, I welcome you all to share this and warn people of the lackluster way that this business expects people to spend our time and money.

The wings here are amazing. If you need a late night bite, they have a variety of foods ready to…read moreserve. My favorite were the wings. The ambiance provides a very welcoming vibe. The space is open for large and small groups. There is a seating area that occasionally requires VIP-like seating during peak hours of nightlife. Ample space parking. There is usually security in front entry way during peak hours checking for safety and doing the routine check upon entry. Drinks are usually reasonably priced. Sometimes they charge entry at the door if you come during the hours late night vibes. Only minor complaint is that some of the staff do not speak English too well. So don't feel slighted if you ask for an extra fork or paper plates and it does not arrive in time, or at all. Just find an employee who speaks English and they will cordially help you meet your needs.

Also I would like to see other people besides the African American community support this business. Also Free Parking!!!

Pour is in a little strip mall. They have added black curtains and some cozy seating areas from when we were here last. Nice updates. Our waitress was very accomdating until she got busy then we felt we were forgotten. We ordered the Drunken shrimp , bread with olive oil and the avocado toast to start with. The drunken shrimp is just as good as we remember the saffron sauce is sooooo good! but there were 3 of us sharing the apps and it only came with 2 crostini's we asked for a 3rd so we could each have one but little did we know that one very small skinny piece of bread had a $1.00 charge to it. The steak bites with their homemade blue cheese sauce was to die for melt in your mouth!! I even asked if we could buy some of the blue cheese sauce, she said no but that she would bring us another dish of it but she never did. My girlfriend ordered a cranberry mule drink, she was charged an extra $1.00 for the cranberry. We also ordered the goat cheese with sauces that were very delicious with an ample amount of crackers. We got the chocolate Ganache cake to share for dessert. But............ the waitress never took our empty dirty plates but showed up with the dessert with the mess on table, I asked for extra clean plates but she never brought them. Everything we ordered was very delicious, but as the night progressed our service got worse, we asked for the bill but she never came back to get our payment and we had questions my girlfriend walked it up to the bartender with our payments. 2 of us were paying cash and one a credit card and we were charged an extra fee of $5.18 for her using a credit card. That is when we saw the $1.00 charge for 1 piece 3/8" bread and the $1.00 for cranberry mule. Talk about nickel and diming. We would love to go back but unsure if I can get past some of these things. Also, now looking at the bill even closer, none of us had a mimosa and we were charged $8.95 for one.How did we miss that? All added up we paid $16.00 more than we should have. CRAZY!! Sadly, Don't know if I'll be back.
