My friend and I found this place on Yelp as it was in between where I live in Brooklyn and where she was staying.
I searched the Yelp page to see how to make reservations and it said call or email. So I called first and then was told to email instead. So I emailed the address on the site and didn't hear anything back for a few days. Now, mind you this was for Sunday brunch which I know can be busy, so I got concerned. I finally heard back and was told that I didn't need a reservation that we could just walk in. So that's what we did.
I arrived first and presented my vax card, and then was told oh we have your reservation. I said oh ok, great! I was seated at one of the reserved tables while I waited for my friend. The menu is a scan version, the same as the one on Yelp. I started with the rum punch. It was delicious. Just the right amount of rum to punch. Not too strong. When my friend arrived she ordered a drink, I don't remember the name of it but she said it was also good. We both ordered the grits and catfish, and split the bourbon French toast as our dessert.
The catfish ended up being basa fish as they had not gotten their catfish delivery, and we were notified when ordering. It was light and fluffy and not too heavy breaded. The grits was supposed to be cheddar, and it came out cold, therefore stiff. The biscuit was full of flavor, but also cold. The bourbon French toast was amazing. It was the right amount of sweet and flavor. It also came with blueberries and banana. A must get.
The place is pretty small and the tables high top or the bar. The service was great. The music was TOO LOUD and ruined the whole experience. We could barely hear each other and felt like we were yelling across the table. My friend even asked the waitress to turn the music down just a touch and it ended up louder. Like standing right next to the speaker turned to the max loud. The music selection was great however, just the volume, too much for such a small space.
The bathroom was small and clean.
