The disappointment came when aggressive lady came in and motioned me to give my plate to her....she was Rude! She did ask if I was done or say excuse me can I take that for you etc... She busted motioned for me to give too her. Now this is my 2nd bad experience with the lady servers at this location. Not sure what the issue is but it needs to ve fixed! I wrote comment last year....got response to reach out to management etc. I did and too this day...no response back. I assume my opinion does not matter.

It's very fancy, and attached to some kind of art museum. There are a LOT of stairs to climb to get up to the restaurant, so just keep that in mind. We were greeted and seated quickly. With so many good looking things on the menu, it was hard to choose, but I went with the wild mushroom risotto. I'm a sucker for a good risotto and this one was ... okay. The depth of flavor was really nice, and the parmesan crisp on the top really pulled each bite together. I wish there would have been more of that. In terms of texture, it wasn't my favorite. Had more of a grits kind of consistency than what I generally expect from risotto. My mom ordered a salad and specifically asked for dressing on the side and it came absolutely slathered in dressing. The waitress was nice about it and got the order replaced for us. Then for whatever reason, it took forever to get her attention again to get our check once we were finished. Overall, it was an okay experience. The ambiance is nice, the food was okay. I would have thought for the level of dining/price though that it would have been a bit higher end in the details.

I ordered the single American burger and an island tea, which is non-alcoholic. Drink was tasty and the burger was delicious. The happy hour version doesn't include fries. Bummer. I sat at the bar and was greeted promptly. My server took a little longer to come over but she was nice. The bar was a little busy for one person but it worked out. I found it interesting that as soon as my order was put in, the bill was placed in front of me. Not sure how they know you don't want to order more once you start eating. It also makes you feel rushed off the bat. But there was no pressure otherwise and the flip side is you can drop your card in and pay then be on your way. I'd definitely return for a quick meal.

Thankfully our night ended amazing but someone from upper management needs to address this behavior as it was completely unprovoked unprofessional behavior.

It has an upscale yet relaxed ambience that will remind you of Bridgerton with its royal flair. We went in the evening so the lounge was very dim, which was expected. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and attentive. No complaints there.

I'm talking top tier, Veuve Clicquot Brut service...with a little spice...Best! He was so accommodating and keep us laughing the entire time. He went out of his way to make my day special! We started with beignets, oysters on the half shell and cocktails. Espresso Martinis, a Dirty Martini, and a specialty cocktail made to order. It may sound like a weird combination, but it all paired well together. I was in the mood for beef. So, I ordered the Wagyu Brunch Burger- 1/2 lb Wagyu, Over-Easy Egg, Grilled Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Hollandaise, Avocado Spread, Brioche Bun, Garlic and Herb Fries. The fam had the Veggie Ranchero omelet- Seasonal Beans, Grilled Corn, Pico de Gallo, Poblano, Cheddar, Avocado, Tortilla Strips, Ranchero, Chipotle-Lime Crema, and a Hashbrown Casserole. Fingerling Breakfast potatoes, with a side of bacon and eggs, and another Hashbrown Casserole. Everything was cooked to perfection. I had such a great time and can't wait to return. I even made a recommendation to a friend who dined there Labor Day weekend and enjoyed her experience. I'll be back soon for sure!

He recommended the chargrilled oysters as well as the crab cakes which did not disappoint. I prefer handcrafted cocktails and this is exactly what you're going to experience at Crunkleton. Not only did I inhale my blackberry gin based drink but I was extremely pleased with the birthday beignets. If that's not enough, we devoured a third of our tomahawk steak, the strawberry salad and my favorite item of the night were the mixed vegetables that accompanied the steak. Yassss! I loved the veggies. Looking for foodie vibes, grab your friends and enjoy a night at the Crunkleton. Pro-Tip: parking is validated; arrive early to avoid crowds

The larger layout is fantastic, featuring a dark and eclectic decor, with live music that adds the perfect extra touch to the overall vibe. The staff is always incredibly welcoming, attentive, and more than happy to offer excellent recommendations if you're looking for guidance on the food and drink options. I am a huge fan of the tapas-style setup because it allows you to share and sample so many different things, and Soul completely delivers: The Sushi: Incredibly fresh and inventive. The Supernova and Queen Charlotte rolls are my absolute typical go-to choices. Menu Favorites: Honestly, I love so much of the menu, but the standouts you have to try include the lamb lollipops, soul truffle fries, sashimi tuna tacos, pork belly tacos, fried goat cheese balls, mini lamb burgers, Korean BBQ wings, and the fried brussels sprouts. You also can't go wrong with any of their dips and skewers! The Drinks: Their rotating seasonal cocktail menu is always exceptionally well thought out and delicious. You truly can't go wrong here. If you haven't been yet, you need to put it at the very top of your list and become a regular with the rest of us! Pro Tip: They also have a phenomenal cocktail bar right next door called Stylus. It has a vintage vinyl bar vibe, lots of gold accents, and great tunes--perfect for a pre- or post-dinner drink!

It definitely lived up to the hype, and I can see why it's such a popular spot. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because we were seated at a high top table, which I personally find uncomfortable. On top of that, the table was so small that we could barely fit all of the dishes we ordered. Since Soul is a place where you want to try and share multiple plates, having a little more table space would have made the dining experience much more enjoyable. The food was outstanding, though, and I'll definitely be back.
