I really wanted to like this place given all the great reviews. The ambience was excellent, service was good, but the chicken and waffles just fell flat.

The waffle was cakey, a bit like cornbread, but not as flavorful. Feels like it's trying to be both while succeeding at neither.

The chicken was over-breaded and the breading was pretty bland, relying a lot on the okay dip for any flavor at all. Two thirds of the chicken was also really dry - when combined with the ample breading and cakey waffles, it was super dry overall.

The fish a friend had seemed to be made in a similar fashion and was okay, but relied on the sauce a bit too much too.

Another friend got some creole-style seafood platter and that was actually pretty good.

I realize a lot of people like this place, and that's great. It just didn't work out for me this time.
