Enjoyed attending service with a friend. It's very welcoming to families, diverse, and friendly. The pastor is awesome. . Music celebration is joyful. Service follows a standard liturgy.

Great drinks and must-try biscuits. Friendly, friendly staff. While the biscuits were out of this world, I though the rest of our selections were good. The collards were very bland and I had to douse in hot sauce. The buttermilk chicken was a huge portion, and a good recipe but could have used additional seasoning. The chicken fried steak tender and diner worthy. Fun atmosphere, beautiful old building with rich brick and woodwork. Wonderful service.

Like all historic Broadway theaters, it is intimate, and nearly every seat is a good view. Bonus that bathrooms are in the mezzanine where we happened to sit this time around. It felt a little more crowded when compared to other theaters but is the theater made most famous by Rent which ran there for more than 10 years. We took in Shucked for this visit many years later.

So much to see and do. A few hours is not enough. The botanical gardens are currently closed but there are a multitude of gardens to take in including a Cactus Garden, the Japanese Gardens, a hall of trres with the biggest magnolias you've ever seen and so much more. Visit a museum of any variety. There are a lot of things to pay for and do. Or you cab just take in the beauty.

Much better to sit at the low top tables. The food is just unbeatable in the area, so fresh and generally seasonal/locally-sourced. Bartender is a true mixologist coming up with creative ways to add a little flavor to coktails without overly sweet drinks. This time I went for the duck in a hint of blackberry jus and the carrots with what appeared to be lane. Imagine me kissing my hands fingers. My husband was beyond ecstatic with his steak, a sigh he often orders. It was perfectly cooked and the beat he has had in about a year. Only one hiccup in service, as they forgot a side, but we saw the manager fire it (and term for wxpwditing it) and were no worse for the while.
