My friends and I went here for Dinela. The service was slow and we were told that the only table available for our reservation was outside unless we wanted to wait. The food listed for the Dinela menu didn't state there was a salad, and then the waitress told us that the dish was correct. There were no tomatoes in the dish, and the salmon was cold. The grits under the short ribs was just warm, not hot and it took 30 minutes to get the main dishes after the appetizers. The fried chicken was tasty, the salmon was well seasoned. The beignets were doughy - not light or fluffy like they should be. They tasted yeasty and the air pockets that should exist in the beignets were very tiny - they should be large.
Overall the only thing worth eating was the fried chicken, but it's not worth the hassle to go back.
