    Had family over from CA with two young children. We had reservations and was running behind with getting kids out the door and then traffic over the bridge. We informed them we would be late. They had our seats ready. My niece and family enjoyed their breakfast. Service was awesome and a beautiful day on top of that. Always our favourite place to take family visiting from out of town. Our server remembered us from our last visit. Always a great experience when eating here.

    Seated right away. Service was excellent. Food was good but for me, the chicken was too spicy. Waffle was cooked just right. If you order chicken and waffles and more than one piece of chicken, they pile the pieces on top of each other, making it almost impossible to cut and eat. Ask for a second plate. Parking structure right next to the restaurant. Powells book store within walking distance allows you to walk off your dinner.

    Food was Southern "inspired". Oyster appetizer was great! Perfectly fried with great housemade tartar sauce-a remoulade would have been perfect, but they were delicious nonetheless. Red beans and rice and chicken were well cooked but under seasoned. The hamhock was expected to do all of the work in the red beans and rice. The macaroni and cheese was most disappointing. It was a ramekin that tasted like Kraft with a layer of cheese run through the MerryChef. The Pecan Pie with Bourbon whipped cream was delicious but the extra drizzle of syrup unnecessary. Will go back to try brunch sometime.
