    Service was a bit slow. The gumbo was great, but our server failed to bring a spoon. I kept waiting for him to check on us, but after several minutes, my gumbo was cooling down, so I ate it with my iced tea spoon. The char-grilled oysters and the braised short ribs were also fantastic. We had heard that the warm coconut cake was a must-have, so we ordered it for dessert. It was served cold. (Brought it home and warmed it a bit, and it was twice as good.

    I hadn’t been to Davis Street in about three years and I wanted to try it out for my stepmom. She does have some dietary restrictions meaning that she cannot have dairy. The waiter that we got seemed annoyed with restriction. Lactose intolerance is not something that is rare. I ordered the shrimp and grits. The flavor was good, but my food was cold and so was my aunts lamb chops. She had three lamb chops, a miniature salad that was no bigger than a fourth of a cup and three wedge potatoes: that was $42. My shrimp and grits dish was $32. It had four nice size shrimp. I did not like the sausage that went with it. Overall, I will not be returning because of service and value for what we got.

    The vibe was on point, even if the service was a bit slow. We only ordered drinks and came to hear Kyle Turner do his thing. I’d still go back—it’s a good, grown‑folk atmosphere for live music.

    I took my wife for her 48th Bday and she loved it and wants to go back. The service was excellent and the food was top notch! The ambiance was very romantic and the corner stage table was A1!
