Picán

Went to Pican for dinner during restaurant week. The pre-set menu was $40 and did not sound very appealing, so we ordered off the regular menu. The fried green tomatoes and shrimp with grits - for appetizers - amazing. Beautifully presented and very flavorful. For the main dish we split their signature dish - Fried Chicken. While the chicken was moist and tasty, it seemed to lack a spark. Regardless, we enjoyed our meal. The cocktails were just okay. The ambiance was nice & on the high-end side. Good for large groups. Definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed the ribs here! They offer it currently as an appetizer but it could be an entree if you just add a side to it. They have a really great bourbon selection as well! I also had some of the scallops which were just okay. I think I would've enjoyed it more if it wasn't drenched in sauce. The service was quick and friendly! It came out to be really pricey. I'll be back if I'm in the mood for some bourbon and ribs!!!

I came in with a lot of expectations due to rave reviews from family and friends. Went in on Sunday for brunch. Lets start with the amazing parts. Decor and design of the bar was amazing. It's a beautiful place to hang out and eat. The service is amazing. Alot of the people who worked here looked like models. They had a special elegance. So for the review on food. The fried chicken Benedict on English muffin. Holadinase sauce was on point and the poached egg was good. However the fried chicken was only OK. I felt like the batter didn't have enough kick and flavour and I think if they used a nice flaky biscuit instead the dish would have come together better. The fried catfish batter lacked real flavour. It was merely OK. Grits were the star. Had a nice little spice kick and it went great with everything. Fried green tomatoes did not disappoint. It had a great texture and the dish had a lot of flavour. Best dish I tried. Chicken fried steak was tender but I felt like the dish was just average. In summary, service was amazing, but most of the food disappointed me. I would give it four stars but I felt thay with the prices I paid I would have gotten much better food. Family believes I went on an off day and I should give it another shot. Ill try it again sometime.

I like the whiskey selection. The bar menu always has some new items I tried the chicken tenders and fancy fish sticks made with catfish. Both good choices. James and Nick at the bar are fast and friendly. Oh if you go for lunch the burger is a must have. I wish they served it for dinner too.

This place is great! I feel like I say that a lot but this is another really good spot for fried chicken. It has great ambiance, good cocktails -- perfect for a date night or just hanging with your friends at First Friday (aka Oakland's Art Murmur).

Great Food!!!! The shrimp and grits ap was very tasty. The waitress kept trying to push the braised pork shank, but we went for the catfish and the fried chicken - both were fantastic. The banana pudding was so-so

They did well executing the theme of a Southern restaurant. At first approach, the restaurant reminded me of an upscale restaurant you'd find in Atlanta. However, they fell short of the upscale restaurant theme in a few areas: staff wearing sweats and visibly worn chairs. The beignets were a tad bland and needed extra rum caramel and creme to accompany them. If you're serving catfish at a southern restaurant, the fish best be well seasoned (mine was under seasoned) or accompanied by tartar sauce (which the restaurant doesn't carry); preferably both. I will say the grits (both butter and cheese) are amazing! The alcohol content of the drinks are on the low side. The open kitchen doesn't seem to be well ventilated, so you'll leave with your hair smelling like kitchen grease. I asked for medium eggs and butter grits, but I still received poached eggs and cheese grits. I don't believe they split checks for large parties and I believe they take a max of 3 credit cards per party. In short: not worth the money.

Who knew southern food good be so expensive? Me neither but I guess when you are this far away from the real south, having to pay a little more to get something legit is understandable and this place is very legit. Definitely is the best fried chicken I have EVER had in my life! Biggest bourbon selection in town which is another plus for me.
