Excellent casual weeknight dinner experience! Cocktails were creative and outstanding with an Enormous selection of bourbons and single malt scotch. We had salads and burgers, both of which were terrific. Our server, Sean was extremely attentive and available without being intrusive. The owner, Jen was working as the bartender as well as intermittently mingling with patrons and overseeing the busy take out section.

service was terrific, cocktails strong and food was tasty (shrimp/chicken with dirty rice, shrimp and grits, BBQ plates, artichoke fritters). oh and the bananas foster. only complaint was that at 7:30, they were out of the grouper and both etouffees. an early dinner crowd - we were almost the last table there at 9:30.

Been there twice since it opened about a month ago. Met the owners, husband and wife, both are very nice. Food is very good. Same chef as its predecessor Next Door Bistro. Several of the same servers and bartender as well. Service is a little uneven/slow (waited 10 -15 minutes for drinks, and another 10-15 for entre after salad course). Prices are fair but about 20% higher than it used to be at Next Door. Overall very enjoyable and I know they are working hard to address the service issues.
