Biscuits were the best I’ve ever had, crab cake was yummy and the key lime pie was large and worth the money. Nice overall atmosphere and super close by the Marriott Marquis and Convention Center. Definitely recommend!

The service was good and the food was delicious. One downside is the advertisement of $23.95 BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS, which is false because there is a .35 cent charge for each refill. Please adjust the menu description from either Bottomless or refills are .35 cent.

Highly recommend Hen Quarter Prime. The service was excellent and the food was great. We tried the fried green tomatoes, oysters, deviled eggs and Caesar salad for starters. For entrees we had the steak, sea bass, and jerk bites. We really enjoyed the food. The restaurant is beautiful and the cocktails were also good. This restaurant is going into my regular rotation.
