    Haven't been here for thirty years and brought my cousin who liked the view from the Chart House who I guessed would appreciate the view from the Bank Corp Tower's thirtieth floor. The pork belly appetizer was interesting. Excellent clam chowder. Brought the blackened shrimp home to dilute the spicy noodles with some romaine. Not to worry, we had a lovely lunch, identified the bridges, and enjoyed the outstanding service.

    None of the party had been here before, selected due to location was close to an event we were attending. We all found it a pleasant experience. The food was good, service was fairly attentive, it was quiet and looked nice, plus of course, for us the location was great. Would eat here again.

    First time here and we will be back!! Great location in the pearl, on a Monday and was a great time to go. Pulled pork eggs Benny and chicken and waffles were ordered along with two Bloody Mary’s. All were super good. Service was great, it was a tad noisy in the restaurant, but that is to be expected. Definitely will return to try more things on the menu. The food all around us looked so amazing!!
