I ate dinner at this retaurant on S. Eola Dr on Friday night. I had the soup of the day - a creamy potato soup infused with cheese for $6 and the crispy fried chicken for $17. The soup was delicious if a bit penurious on the portion side. The chicken was a re-imagining of a typical chicken fried steak. The chicken was served atop of mashed potatoes with barbeque sauce, a white gravy and garnished with ground pork. It was as good as this meal could be. All the elements (even the barbeque sauce) worked off each other. The restaurant serves fish, etc but I tried this hearty duo because the chef is supposed to be some kind of soul food empresario. While she was not in the kitchen that night, the meal was prepared well by the chef on call. The best part of the experience was that these signature selections were the cheapest on the menu. Nothing is better than getting the house specialties at rock bottom prices. The place was techy-chic and clean. It was mostly full. The wait staff was attentive and knowledgable. They were well dressed. They served fresh baked bread. The wine selection was well chosen. The dessert menu looked tempting. They had cheese courses. They have outdoor seating. The plating was good.
I have no recommendations. It was a thoroughly pleasant experience.
