   One of our favorite spots. We have been here several times over the years and have never been disappointed. Always great food, service, and atmosphere.

   We've always enjoyed brunch and the bar scene at this restaurant, and assumed that dinner would be an equally wonderful experience. We were disappointed. We had the Sea Bass dish that came with a side of puréed something and white rice , neither of which we touched because the purée didn't look particularly appetizing, and the rice (which was not included in the entree description ) looked unappealing. The sea bass was the only part of the dish that I ate and I would have expected a better preparation from such a restaurant . My husband and I decided that we'll stick to Brunch In the future at South Congress Cafe.

   The food was really amazing, the service excellent, and the venue itself really nice. So nice to be in the middle of SoCo but parking can get tricky!

   Food was great as always. We are regulars and go once a month but last Saturday night food was slow. We made open table reservations which didn't get to restaurant for some reason and waited and then waited another 30 minutes for appetizers then food finally 30 more minutes after that. Food was good but huge peppercorns on duck and a little too much salt and pepper in most dishes. Fish special was great and my favorite goat cheese salad was incredible as usual! Request corner booth which is quieter

   I'd been here in the (way) past and had a good enough experience, especially for brunch. Mostly I remember somewhat spicy, not particularly healthy, but tasty Southwestern-themed dishes. But this time our entrees were bland and uninspired (the "special" mahi mahi, and a steak for my bf). The waitress could hardly hear us (and the restaurant was actually quite empty for 7pm on a Friday, so I don't know what it would have been like in busy times.) The only saving grace was that the butterscotch creme brulee was divine.

   The food was good. It was very noisy. It was not as good as I remember and we felt a bit rushed but I'd go back on my next visit.

   Food was great . Service was good. Only fault was one of the waiters knocked a glass of wine over and never compensated it which was weird .

   No service, flavorless food, a place to name drop maybe, but, otherwise, epic disappointment -- for me, and my friend. We were both unhappy. I posted on FB to not waste your time.

   Delicious southern inspired dishes. Great spot to stop after shopping on SoCo. Casual environment.

    really enjoyed the atmosphere here. they have vegetarian and gluten free options when you ask. had the sea bass. it was just average. it needed another texture than just the fish. trevor was a great server.
