Lovely, welcoming restaurant as soon as we walked in. We were seated swiftly and our server was friendly and provided insights on the menu. We ordered a bottle of bubbly for mimosas, the flavored ice cubes kept the drinks tasty. The cornbread was fluffy and paired well with the butter. Shrimp and grits were packed with flavor, yet not heavy. French toast was on the drier side but the texture and flavor was on point. Loved the ambience and music. Definitely coming back.

This is one of my favorite restaurants when I am in the downtown LA area. The food has never disappointed me. It’s that comfort type food you get from grandma. Service has always been good and good music playing in the background.

Restaurant was out of cornbread; however, the chef personally gave us some on the way out from brunch. Wish they offered real maple syrup. Appreciate if butter was not in disposable packaging (to help with environment). Chicken and waffles were good. Yams were a bit sweet; however good recipe and enjoyed them.
