I went the other night. I really just went to check the place out and only got a couple things. Jerk chicken thighs and deviled eggs. Chicken was good ....eggs so so. But the menu was huge with small plates at what appeared to be reasonable prices. Haven't really seen much on the board, but when I have, I haven't seen anything on this place.

What's the board concensus on this place? Place was packed. They were playing 90s hip hop which was pretty different and fun.

Thoughts? Recs?

Enjoyed the one time I went. Menu all over the damn place but probably best to go for a drinking meal with a few people and have a few bites of lots of different things.

Food was decent but didn't find the prices very fair at all.

I went a few months ago for lunch and remember enjoying whatever I ate, but don't remember what that was (not helpful!).

I do remember being annoyed that there was no lunch menu, same prices for lunch and dinner. With small plates I'd want at least two and it it adds to make a pricey lunch that I haven't been back. Even for dinner I can see the bill adding up pretty quickly, but it may be worth for people wanting to try different things. I also thinking work as an early stop for a drink and shared plates before a more substantial dinner somewhere else.

Friends ate there the weekend of the Mitch flooding. They all loved everything they ordered and would return. They didn't comment on prices.

We went a few months ago. It was good not great. I got the fettuccine nero that was a special (now on the menu I believe). We got a bunch of other things that escape me. It was good but nothing was memorable. I won't be going back anytime soon simply because there are many other restaurants I enjoy more. I will say the kids enjoyed the cotton candy

Drinks are really good. We usually get 4 or so small plates and share, and a couple of drinks. I really liked the spare rib and the meatballs.

well it is an Emeril restaurant.

I've been a few times. More drinking than eating. But I remember the devil eggs being really good.

It's a good place for a group of out of towners who may want a variety of comfort food with a sample of local food over something more streamlined.

For locals a decent pregame spot or lunch place.

It can get pricey quick - portions are on the small side even if you get more than 1 item.

I went several months back for happy hour, had a couple drinks and a flat bread. I thought it was pretty good, but not much to judge a place on.
