   Food took forever to come out, and there were only two of us. Easy orders. Salad and fish.

   Jambalaya is a rice based dish. “Seafood Jambalaya” is a rice dish with assorted sausages and shellfish. It is not a dish anchored in penne pasta! There should be no need to read the fine print to see the switch/disclaimer. DO NOT ORDER.

   This restaurant was a pleasant surprise! We found it randomly and didn’t realize it was in the bottom of the hotel until we pulled up. We went through with our reservation, and it was lovely! The staff was pleasant. The ambience was nice. The food was fantastic!

   I’ve always been a fan of Art Smith from my days of living in Chicago, so when I was looking for a nice restaurant for Valentines Day, I thought Art and Soul would be the perfect place. The restaurant called me twice the week prior to confirm that we were coming, and during both calls I was told there were two menu options… a Holiday pre-fixed menu, and the regular menu. When we showed up to the restaurant, we were pleased. The restaurant was cute, and we had two different servers come over ready to take our order. We were shocked to learn that there was ONLY a pre-fixed menu and it was $100 per person. The food was great. We had amuse-bouche, salad, soup, rib-eye steak, and a dessert. However, after we ordered, we never saw a server again. No one ever asked us how our food was. We never had anyone refill our wine glasses. It was like they took our order, and then they disappeared. The food runner was the only other person from the restaurant we saw the entire time. We had to wave someone down to even request the check. The experience was awful considering what we spent. We will not be going back.

   We’ve been dreaming about our return to Art and Soul, the fried chicken is amazing. The short ribs were prepared to perfection. Great cocktail choices. We weren’t offered dessert but we were full. Unfortunately, there was a company Happy Hour and it was very loud. There are 2 glass sliders but they were never closed to reduce the noise for the diners. We’ll return. We love the food.

   The service was a little odd. It seemed like the lance was empty and yet they were in a rush to send us out. The main waitress also gave us the machine when we asked to split the check with no guidance. It was very odd.

   Hi Shahana, thank you for the candid review. I apologize that we provided an odd experience for you. It is not in our spirit of hospitality to rush diners and I am also apologizing for that. Your honest feedback has helped us with training points for our team to ensure this experience isn't repeated. Thank you again, and I hope we get the chance to redeem ourselves on your next visit.

    All of the staff were amazing from the host down to the chef. I had a great time while visiting from out of town.
