    The vibe is good, music, visuals and drinks where tasty. As far as the food the menu was very small only appetizer size plates. It could use 3 entree options. Overall a wonderful time.

    Our waitress was such a sweetheart! The ambience was immaculate and the food was to die for!! Best happy hour I’ve had in ages! We had just left the restaurant and were still talking just outside as a staff member came running out with my car keys that I’d forgotten at our table. Such great service!

    My daughter and I got an early reservation at 4pm. We were able to sit in a booth with the carousel horses. We both loved the whole vibe inside. She wants to go again, especially after she turns 21 so we can sit at the rotating bar. Our service was excellent and the happy hour food was amazing and filling. The beignets hot, fresh, and probably the best we’ve ever had. It was definitely a top notch experience and we will definitely be back!
