    Ate 1/3 Philly cheesesteak egg rolls
    Felicia D.

    One first minus reason is having to order takeout by placing a card over the phone. With all the hacking happening, this was a bit suspect. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, which unnecessarily came with fries. Don't get me wrong, the fries were delicious, like Checkers seasoned fries, but no need for them. I would like the price to be dropped to 12.99 without fries. I paid almost $17 for three egg rolls and fries. This is too high a price. Philly steak egg rolls were good, came with mild sauce, which was not a good pairing. Glad I asked for ranch on the side. Blue cheese would have been better as a dipping sauce. Overall it was a good eating experience but too high cost-wise. Remove fries and lower cost of rolls by themselves.

    Catfish dinner
    Nizel A.

    Stopped by here for a quick bite to eat. The place for the most part is clean. They have a no gun sign on the door. There's a decent variety of foods, most of which you can order jerk style. They surprisingly have things like king crab and lobster tails (which I assume is because they're down the street from the fish market.) I opted for the catfish dinner with dirty rice and broccoli with cheese. It took 20 minutes to make and comes with garlic bread. Everything has a milder taste than I was expecting. The dirty rice should have just been called seasoned rice because there was almost no ground beef in it. It's like they just cooked a box of zatarain's and threw some specs of ground beef in it along with half of the seasoning packet. The cheese with broccoli is ok. They cook it with butter and cheese, none of which seems to be high quality, but the broccoli itself is fresh. As for the catfish I was expecting it to be tossed in jerk sauce or have jerk seasoning mixed into the breading. Turns out they just pour a thick jerk sauce onto the fish once it's plated. It looks like mole sauce and is so mild it might as well be. I honestly can't taste any spice at all which is weird since usually jerk sauce has a kick to it. The sauce is also noticeably salty. I would suggest saving money by using wax paper instead of foil and repurposing things towards higher quality ingredients. They've got the appearance down, but a great restaurant focuses on good food too. Overall, I like the overall idea of things, but it can definitely be improved. The food itself looks good, but is underwhelming and overpriced ($24 for the catfish dinner.) I'll definitely check back in later to see how they're doing.

    Dry mac, Dry chicken and unseasoned asparagus
    Liyah G.

    The wait times are RIDICULOUS! We got here and there were a few orders waiting for to go(literally 3 people) we placed our order at 5:22pm and our order didn't come to us until 6:25pm MIND YOU we were TO GO!!!! Multiple people have came in after us dined in and ate their food, all while we are still waiting for our to go order, the guy that took our order seemed like he could care less about how long we were waiting, there was a guy that looked like the owner who saw what we were going through never did he come to us and apologize for the wait times or compensate us with ANYTHING for our wait. The lack of care for their customers is absolutely mind boggling. Then I get home and the food was sooooooo MID! The mac n cheese was not only dry but it clearly is not homemade. The sweet potatoes taste CANNED! My husband got an Italian beef and it was soooo soggy and he asked for it to be lightly dipped and we only live 4 blocks no way should it have been completely deteriorated by time we got home. My "jerk chicken dinner" was absolutely disgusting I want a full refund for it, literally not going to eat this... I will never in my life come back to or recommend this place..how the aesthetics don't match the food make it make sense!

    Jerk Chicken and shrimp pasta
    D'Von A.

    1. The food isn't bad and it is good. It has flavor and seasoning . Very good with making sure it taste good. 2. With my pasta , I would have asked them to reduce to cheese amount. They loaded -- and I mean -- loaded this pasta with cheese to the point that the dish is too rich . I love cheese , but the cheese is taking center stage here, and that's not how I envision a pasta dish. 3. This business has no reason to charge an AUTOMATIC 18% gratuity when there is no service. There are no servers welcoming you, replenishing drinks, bringing out entrees, or other hospitable acts commonly associated with tipped service. This is a crude way to generate revenue to pay employees. Not fair to the customers when they aren't being served . For that reason alone, I don't feel comfortable rating them above a 3. 4. Tasted a daiquiri and I wasn't impressed enough to buy. 5. I'm coming back to try other things...

    Eggrolls
    Paula R.

    The variety of eggrolls are good. Jerk chicken, Philly cheesesteak, and buffalo were all tasty. They came with fries which are really good but they never give enough. Bbq sauce comes with the fries and it's really good too. I got my food to go so not sure how the service or ambiance are

    Catfish Dinner (Fried) with Mac N Cheese And Pinto Beans
    Tanisha M.

    I ordered the Catfish Dinner with Mac n Cheese and Pinto Beans and it had no flavor. Like literally everything was bland. How can you mess up beans though? I've had this dinner plenty of times before from this location and never had it taste this way. I want to take this back and request a refund. I couldn't even finish it, the whole meal was just a NO for me. I don't like to leave this review but I'm over places raising prices for sub-par cooking. Then they wonder why folks stick to McDonalds and Wendy's. I'm very DISAPPOINTED!!!

The Rueben egg-rolls are worth a try and I highly recommend the double stack burger. We also had a flat iron steak which was done to the desired temperature and very flavorful. Ask them about house made old fashioned which age above the bar. Street parking is available in front of the restaurant. Staff is super nice and took fantastic care of my wife and I. Highly recommended

    The food was decent (I enjoyed the burger & queso, but the pretzel bites, fries and beignets were…read morejust alright). However, the service was some of the worst service I have ever had. We came in and waited to be greeted by the hostess. Maybe 10 minutes passed and 2-3 other groups also came in before we saw the hostess and she had the sourest attitude I've seen that wasn't a snotty teenager arguing with their mom. The tables were so close together and booths tight that multiple groups had to adjust chairs or add chairs to a booth to be able to fit their group of 4 comfortably. Tables were left dirty & covered with dishes - two tables we're left uncleared for the entire 2+ hours we were there until the hostess with the horrific attitude cleared one glass at a time with a truly horrible look on her face. At one point when the hostess was walking back to the front from the kitchen, a young child (maybe 3-4) was politely walking to her table and the hostess said something to the effect of "get out of my way" - to a toddler, behaving perfectly reasonably and the hostess wasn't even carrying anything that might topple over. Our waitress was not much better than the hostess. While she was mostly pleasant, after 45 minutes we had to flag her down to ask where our appetizer was and she apologized before bringing it out 10 minutes or so later. It wasn't so busy that the kitchen was behind - I think she just forgot to put the order in or the kitchen forgot to fire it. We had placed our dinner order at the same time, and that came out shortly after the appetizer for 3 of the 4 of us. The 4th member of the party had to wait 10 minutes or so for her chicken wrap to come out. Flagging down our waitress for the check was also a challenge. She would disappear for long stretches of time. Service was truly appalling and we were there for over 2.5 hours for what we had expected would be a quick and delicious dinner. I won't go back.

    My husband and I arrived at this nice warm modern contemporary restaurant for dinner, and we were…read moregreeted and seated right away. We were there the day before Valentine's Day, so the menu was limited. I had one of there margarits's and that started my great evening. Our server was attentive and checked in on us. We enjoyed the crab cakes with shrimp on top and dirty rice stuffed mushrooms for starters and then we had spinach salad which was delicious. About another hour or so we enjoyed our main meal which was Tuscan chicken with creamy risotto and lobster and shrimp etouffee served over wild rice, very delicious. We also had for dessert, banana CHEESE cream pudding and I actually wanted to Lick the bowel it was so good. We also enjoyed the strawberry shortcake. I was hesitant about making a reservation because of all the negative reviews after restaurant week. I must say we were happy with our decision to dine at this restaurant. Yes, the food took a little extra time but it was worth it. I can't wait to go back for their weekend brunch.

    I'll start with the positives - The food for the most part…read morewas really good. I finally had actual catfish, something I haven't had in a while since maybe going to Virtue (keep that name in your pocket for later), we had calamari, which was ok, and my entree came with mashed potatoes which were good once I added a pinch of salt (at home because they didn't have salt or pepper on the table). Now for everything else- We waited a little bit to be seen and then be seated. We made reservations in advance, as it was my mom's 86th birthday so we were all excited that there was a place nearby to dine that didn't involve going to Hyde Park. Anyway, once seated we waited close to 20 minutes for water. There seemed to be one server with someone shadowing him in our section, so my sister asked him if he could get us water. He told us our server would be with us shortly in a pretty dismissive way. My sister then asked the host if someone was going to come and take our order, by this time we had been sitting for over 20 minutes, in bright light with Afro Beats blasting too loudly over the speaker (yall can't make a mix of different genres?). The host ended up taking our order and then our server came over, taking our order again until we told her we had already put in everything. The food came out pretty quickly but that was it. The servers kind of were also runners. Once the food was on the table that was it, nothing else. No one asked us about anything, you were on your own. My mom did ask for a dessert that sold out and after we told the server it was her birthday, she went to the kitchen and they did us a solid. And she said the bread pudding was good. We watched folks nearby sit just as long for food leave after an appetizer. Honestly it's no surprise because after getting the bill I realized this is Virtue pricing without hardly any of what makes that restaurant successful. I would come back, but maybe on a slower evening. Hopefully things will work out and get better, at least dim those lights and turn the music down a bit.
