"Tried this restaurant after receiving a suggestion and was not disappointed. The menu was very diverse, our server was extremely attentive and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was intimate and perfect for a date-night. The music selection was also great and was played at a volume that was not overwhelming. The Honey Jerk wing appetizer was flavorful; however I found the fried crab cake appetizer to be average, at best, and I would not order it again (the spicy dipping sauce that accompanied it was unique). The surf and turf entree, consisting of a generous cut of filet mignon and lobster tail was very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The southern fried chicken entree, consisting of a sizeable piece of chicken, collard greens and mac cheese was delicious as well. The cornbread tasted as if it was infused with banana bread, which I thought was a very unique and ambitious take on the dish. I enjoyed it (very much), but my date indicated that she would have preferred a more traditional version. Overall, the food met my expectations and more, and I will definitely return in the near future, likely for their brunch experience. The only thing preventing a 5-star review was the fact that they do not accept Apple Pay and the on-site parking is very limited and confined to a space behind the building no larger than an alley, making exiting a bit of a chore. They do offer off-site parking at the business across the street. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"
