The food itself was amazing. Elevated takes on southern classics that were appeasing to the eye as well as taste. The favorite of the night was the cola braised octopus with just the perfect amount of Suya spice. Would definitely be hype to come again, but only with Phillip as our server!
When we sat down inside, we were met by a friendly waiter. He took our drink orders, a diet coke and one of their signature margarita drinks. Even though I didn’t have a stopwatch ticking, after about maybe 15 minutes, we could see the bar tender on his phone and what possibly could be our drinks sitting on the bar. The drinks eventually made their way, The margarita came in a highball type glass with lots of ice cubes and was basically a mango puree with a few alcohols mixed in it. It wasn’t all that special.
Dinner was also ordered after the drinks came. The menu has a good selection of items, however HB is probably $7-$10 above what the entrees should be going for, they range from $38-$60 per dish. The appetizers were better priced and again good selection.
We ordered two starters, the grilled octopus and the biscuits with caviar. For our entree, we ordered the gumbo and the rockfish. When we ordered the biscuits and caviar, the waiter gave us the disclaimer that if we ordered this and didn’t like it, we couldn’t send it back…
We waited an unusually long time to get our food, again didn’t have the stopwatch going but on a Saturday night with maybe 5 tables going, no one really eating on the patio that could be seen. after close to 25 minutes we had to call the manager over to explain the situation. She was apologetic and did comp drinks. Not long after the starters came.
Both the octopus and the biscuits with caviar looked great. The octopus was delicious, grilled just right and not rubbery, great sauce and the sweet potato was overcooked just right to get that soft carmelization. The biscuits came out in a little wooden chest on rocksalt. An individual mini portion of four. Unfortunately the little biscuit packed a flourly biscuit taste, couldn’t even taste the caviar. IMHO, the caviar was very inexpensive, the kind you get on the all you can eat saladbar at The Chart House. The gold leaf mixed into it is a nice presentation and there was a third ingredient but couldn’t taste it either because of the biscuit.
The rockfish was cooked perfectly and came on top of lentils and side of brocolini. The gumbo had good flavor, but not to sure how they start their rue to get the base but never tasted the nuttyness in the base. The okra to meat ratio also seemed to be imbalanced.
Overall, the staff was friendly, the space is very large, the music on the patio should be turned down to a more moderate level before 9pm to enjoy dinner, the kitchen needs to get the food timing worked out.
