The kitchen's take on "elevated soul food" shows in dishes like a Southern-style caprese built on fried green tomatoes, catfish finished with a bouillabaisse bechamel, honey sesame-glazed salmon, and an Angus flank steak with garlic truffle frites; brunch brings chicken and waffles, and the fried catfish and grits is the dish the chef calls the restaurant's signature. Reviews consistently praise the food and the lakefront setting while flagging service that hasn't fully caught up -- sincere, but inconsistent, according to multiple write-ups.
OpenTable shows a 3.4 rating across 281 reviews in the $31-$50 range, numbers that read as a kitchen still finding its rhythm in a genuinely striking room. It's closed Mondays.
