    We went to the brunch service was awesome beautiful restaurant but the food honestly would have been better at the waffle house— I’m sad because it was my sisters birthday and it was super pricey— my omelette only had a bit of plain crabmeat on it my sister had some scrambled eggs on a piece of toast the eggs weren’t cooked though my brothers shrimp and grits were like a child’s serving size very pricey not good— oh we got dessert and that was the best baked Alaska— and we had some sweet potato brioche that was excellent— so I’m done with brunch here— I did have dinner there before and it was delicious

    Our experience at Miss River was great! We went for the wood fire pizza and spritz special night. The honey and sausage pizza was incredible. Our server Sam provided us wonderful service. Will go again!

    We went here for the Eras Brunch. First, they had the music and the ambiance indoors was great but then we got seated outside for their normal brunch. It was fine since we could still hear the music. Our server seemed very rushed. We did the 3 course brunch. The drinks and appetizers were good. Only thing was how long it took to get everything. It wasn’t even crowded by the time we came . It took 30 mins to get our appetizer course which was the beignets and ham. They forgot my sisters sweet potato rolls and we had to ask for them. Afterwards, we were waiting another 20 mins, we had already finished our appetizer course. Our server asked if we were ready for our check !! We reminded him we had not gotten our brunch meal yet. He said he would go and check on it. Another 10 mins later, the manager comes by and says our meals were delayed and it would take another 10-15 mins to make. He offered me another drink which he then also forgot. We asked if we could get it our food to go. Basically in >1.5 hr we had one drink and our appetizer, so we left our brunch hungry. We did eat our brunch meal as our breakfast at midnight since we had to leave to meet friends.

    Outside area could definitely use some decoration, very sterile instead of fun and inviting. The delicious food and excellent staff as well as the beautiful interior do not match the outside dining option.

    We had a great time. Our reservation was on time. All of the waitstaff were polite and informative about the food/ingredients. It felt very personable and warm. The portions were massive. We enjoyed the sweet potato bread, redfish, pork chop and beignets! Thank you again for a memorable experience.
