We came ready for South Beach on Piedmont but it was giving just Piedmont. The exterior is not appealing - there was a bunch of people gathered in the lot smoking or something. There was a dingy black tent, trash and the security was sitting down. He didn't greet or welcome us - just waited for IDs and peeked in our purses. Never opened the door either.
Parking was $10 at about 8 PM and the attendant said that was the early bird price - it will jump to $20 after 10 PM. Yikes!
We go inside and it's really small. The DJ was rocking, the bar was full and a gentleman asked if we wanted a table. He sat us in the corner but we switched to get a better view of the spot. It's an L shaped restaurant and the patio was closed due to recent thunder storms.
Our server was pleasant and immediately introduced herself. They don't have a drink menu but a fully stocked bar she says. Okay...we ordered our drinks and they were good. For dinner we ordered the oxtail tacos, fries, lemon pepper wings, salmon sliders & asparagus. The tacos were out of this world! They are worth a to-go order when I'm in the area. Everything was tasty. Kudos to the chef!
The DJ was the other highlight. He kept the vibes going from old school hip hop, Dirty South, Reggae, Trap, R&B, etc. There were a few people by the bar dancing but it's really small in there so no dance floor & the DJ took up about 2 tables of space.
To closeout - they included 20% gratuity and a fee for using a card. Surprise on the cost of drinks too. Sigh...$168 for 2 plus parking.
Not a place we'd venture back to except for the tacos & hopefully to experience the patio.
