   I want to start off saying that the food was great and the bottle of mimosas was pe! Just a bit disappointed in a few things. We were the first ones to arrive as they opened. My best friend and I hadn't seen each other in awhile so I searched out a place on Open Table that still had reservations for a Sunday brunch yesterday. Upon arriving we were allowed to sit anywhere and the menus were dropped as the waitress went to get our waters. We looked at the menu and were disappointed to see it wasn't a brunch menu as advertised on their website. We asked the waitress when she came back with the waters (after a very long time for us to be the first patrons in the restaurant) and she said, oh no brunch today, sorry. So we dejectedly ordered the crab cakes as a starter. They came with greens that were supposed to be tossed with a citrus vinaigrette according to the menu but were dry. I asked the waitress about that and she said it's not supposed to have dressing on them, so I had to show her the menu and she just said oh. Then we both got the shrimp and grits since that was on the brunch menu at least. We got the shrimp and grits and they did not contain the corn or the tomatoes like the menu said. The waitress kept her distance from us except to refill the orange juice for our mimosas and never asked how the food was, so I just didn't mention it to her. I think she overheard us talking about being disappointed about the brunch not being offered, and the table next to us was disappointed about it as well. I do want to mention that the food was delicious and we were happy with it so I wasn't trying to get a discount, it was just disappointing to not have the brunch and then both dishes to be served without ingredients listed on the menu. The young man with the beard and long hair who checked on us later was very nice and welcoming so I hated to mention it to him, but I guess I should've. Please update your website and your menu if things have changed this much. Thank you!

   If you are looking for a sports bar atmosphere, this is a great place to go. We were expecting a typical dining experience before a concert. Nothing on the website eluded to this being a sports bar, so for that reason, we were somewhat disappointed. That said, our server nice and attentive.

   We came for Saturday brunch. While the brunch menu wasn’t available, the regular menu was decent. We were a large party of 12 and our server was excellent. Burgers and tacos were a hit. Shrimp po boy was nicely put together, but could use a bit more slaw type flavors, shrimp and grits were enjoyable. Sweet potatoes fries were yummy! Street Parking that day was okay.

   The restaurant was packed with several large parties but the service was still good. Ordered an appetizer and it came out super fast. The music and singing entertainment was great without a high noise level. We had kids with us a Mac/cheese bowl was great for them. I will go back.

   We had reservations but was late in arriving due to traffic accident. The young man at the check in desk was very pleasant and helpful. He asked if we preferred seating close to the music. We opted to sit away for a quieter dinner. Our server was very efficient and attentive. Our food arrived in a timely manner and was very good. Hubby had the Reuben sandwich and onion rings. I got the Rose Bowl which consisted of truffle mashed potatoes, corn and my protein of choice which was shrimp. We also had the Conecuh sausage grilled shrimp skewers for a starter. We were pleased with our choices. We had tickets for a musical show and when we let our server know this, she quickly handled our payment. Good atmosphere, food and service!
