Home.made was a nice experience but some of the food fell flat, and drink service was slow. The grilled oysters are a must have!
I really liked my fried chicken plate, especially the picked okra, it was all great, but my wife’s pasta (tagliatelle) dish really fell flat, and we only ordered it because the waitress recommended it… so yeah we were pretty surprised with how uninteresting the flavor was. Unlucky I guess... Should have sent it back but didn’t think about it. And the pimento cheese biscuit/macaron appetizer, you can just skip that, but the grilled oysters we had were AMAZING.
The drinks we had were very good, but drink service was really slow after 5:45ish. I think the issue was there was only one guy on the sidecar bar side doing the drinks and waiting tables over there, so every drink took about ten minutes to prepare. Even a simple desert port wine took ages to get. Surprising they have so few workers/bartenders on a busy Saturday night. Our waitress was quite good though.
We went early at 5 which was great, as the place was empty and it was easy to get a table. After about 20-30 minutes, the hostess sat two more tables of people literally right next us in the corner, which was a little awkward since the entire restaurant was empty aside from our now packed corner. I would think with covid and all they would try to space people out a little bit, at least while the place is near empty. Also since the place was so quiet I felt like our three tables could all hear everything each other was saying. Anyways, after I said something about weird it was, our waitress moved us to the other corner where we could have a little more privacy which was awesome :) so that was nice.
