   The food was WAYYYY OVERPRICED!—side Dishes are NOT included with the entree? $47 for 4 small lamb chops-with no sides is crazy!- all the sides are $13 each and are NOT shareable!-cornbread was TRASH!-dry and crumbly!-not worth the money or gratuity!—AT ALL!😡😡

   My boyfriend and I had reservations on Sat (4/26) I have read afew positive things online and got a few positive words from a few friends.So of course I was super excited to book reservations for my boyfriend‘s birthday.My original reservation time was 7PM but I needed to push the reservations back to 8:45pm.Wefirst walked in It was a whole lot of people standing waiting for tables so it was a bit hard to get through the front door with everyone standing there,but I immediately noticed how beautiful the place was.Ienjoyed the roses all over the walls.Didn’t really enjoy how they look close up.They had white specs all over them.Maybe they can spray them or clean them up some,even though they’re fake.We checked in an was told they’re a bit behind so it’s gonna be about 15 to 20 minutes,which was no problem.I understood I stepped off to go to the bathroom,which was nice that the host walked me there so I didn’t have to try to find it on my own.The bathroom was very clean (+) when I returned me and my boyfriend waited .35 minutes later it was then our turn to be sat.The host walked us downstairs as we walked around for a second as she looked for a table that was supposed to be available .That was not there.We then went back upstairs.She looked around again,trying to find a table and she ended up putting us at a small round table in the bar area,crowded bytwo others with very little room for anything especially not to order multiple things immediately.we sat down and watched as the bartender, walked past us twice before coming over and asking us,did we want to get drinks.Weasked to start with waters I tried to getmy boyfriend to get a birthday drink but hewas a bit irritated ofhow things were starting off.It took a min for the bartender to com bck (he looks to be working alone).wedidorder apps which took a while.The table nxt to us stayed dirtywhile a teammember sat at it.The convo 1 teammate was nt appropriate. We got apps and left and still need to stop for food.

   Had the opportunity to visit both the Chicago and Charlotte locations and I must say these locations had a much better vibe and the food was great. My experience at DC wasn’t as pleasurable. My waitress was nice and food came out quickly. However, I had to wait 20 minutes after my scheduled reservation to be seated and the drinks (too much flavoring syrup) and food was okay ( Fired chicken not as flavorful and Mac and cheese made with cheese sauce) Food presenting was subpar served on a plain black plate.

   Everything that's worth having is worth waiting for. With that said, even if you are on time for your reservation; expect to wait 20-30 Log jam upon entry. Everything else was Perfect.

    Alexa was a great server! The food was amazing. I had the catfish, greens, Mac and cheese and cornbread. All 10/10 and so good! The catfish was fresh and had great seasoning. My friend had the chicken fried chicken and absolutely loved it! The mocktails were really good too. I will definitely be back. They also had a live band downstairs and they were amazing!
