"Not typical soul food, so don’t expect that. This location has always been an upscale location and has lovely decor. I’ve had two dinners and one lunch at this location. Expecting more true southern cuisine, I’m disappointed with what’s offered. My last menu experience was the chicken, although okay, it was less than tender and considering the cost, a bit small in size. They seem to sprinkle gold (pixie) dust on everything. It’s a fun garnish, but adds nothing to the taste. I’ve also experienced their shrimp and grits. Again, it was okay, but the grits were rather dry. This, too, was served dusted with gold dust. It’s not something I will order again. I prefer the traditional southern grits. Out of the three dining experiences, only once did I find the wait staff to be above and beyond. Overall the service is fine, but they could appear a little happier about taking your order. I don’t expect them to engage global politics or display photos of friends and family, but a simple smile and overall pleasant persona would be nice. My friends love this place, but I was expecting more traditional southern soul food. That’s my biggest disappointment. However, I do like the atmosphere and that I can engage in conversation with my friends without shouting. I most likely will dine there again since my friends enjoy the food and I enjoy being with my friends."
