I arrived late for my reservation but, was still accommodated. The music was not so loud that you could not have a conversation. Our server David was great. The overall customer service was a 10/10. The food was soooo delicious. I ordered catfish, lobster Mac n cheese & okra. My friend ordered greens & they were really good. I’m new to Dallas & will definitely bring every visitor here.

Amazing drinks, and good food. They didn't tell us before hand, you have to call the number on the payphone to get in, but once we got in it was terrific. No wait service on the night we went either that was a little weird but the drinks were incredible.
