      I've been here a few times and it has always been great! The food is delicious and they have some unique plates. Right now they have a Christmas pop up upstairs complete with holiday cocktail and it is so festive and fun!

      I felt bad because it was so crowded and there was limited staff but the vibe was so good I didn't mind the extra wait!

      Stopped here for a cocktail on a Wednesday night during happy hour. Was surprisingly quiet and the bartender was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, made an excellent cosmo. Didn't try food but would come back for the cocktails and ambiance alone.

      Slow Hand participated in the recent WC restaurant week and was recommended by a friend who really enjoys their bar. My friend who made our reservations chose here because a few other spots that she had listed higher were booked completely.

      We had no wait for a table which was one of the four seater high tops in the middle. I sat on the aisle side but my friends who sat in the middle said later they felt like the table on the other side of the thin divider were eating with us because other than a pole that does between the tables parallel to the table top, there is nothing so it's really like a continuation of the table on the other side of the divider. They mentioned that they heard everything the other table was saying and at times felt bad because it was clear our conversation was clearly overtaking their experience because of the layout.

      The restaurant week menu was $50 and you got a small plate, large plate and dessert. The menu had a lot of the options available on the main menu. I was the only one at my table who went for the restaurant week menu, the rest did a la cart.

      I didn't do any alcohol but my friends seemed very pleased with their margaritas and aperol spritz.

      For food - My small plate was deviled eggs. I LOVE deviled eggs; I'm used to the basic that people have a parties, and now I feel like restaurants really have expanded on them. The eggs were beautiful with small blackened shrimp on top. They tasted delicious but they were ICE COLD. Not just chilled, but cold enough to send chills in my teeth.

      For my large plate I ordered the salmon. I was surprised when the server asked how I would like my fish cooked in terms of medium, well done, etc. I have only been asked that once in my life before and I am thrown off because I don't think of fish in that way. I went with the chef's recommendation ( can't remember now). Fish was fine, it wasn't to die for but it wasn't bad either. The potatoes pave that comes as a side was this block of scalloped potatoes that I enjoyed and thought were really unique.

      Dessert - I went with the pecan cake. Once again, it was very cold. I wasn't expected it to be so cold; it was hard to use my fork to break off a piece. It wasn't my favorite dessert.

      Service - while I enjoyed having plenty of time to talk to my friends, the service was very slow.

      The service is consistently good. I enjoy the food and drinks at night and for brunch! Fun environment and cool ambiance.

      I came in for a Friday brunch with two coworkers, there was no one else in the place. Not sure if that's a good thing or not! Either way, we had a decent experience. The service was good, as it should be in an empty restaurant and everything came out quickly.
      My boss ordered sliders as her meal, I tasted them and thought they were pretty good. My other coworker had pancakes and they were very tasty and fluffy. I had the beet salad and the dressing was amazing but I really enjoyed the goat cheese crouton most of all. My boss and I also had mimosas. They were good but I felt they were overpriced for the size. We're likely to return sometime.

      We've been here for drinks before and those were great so we decided to try brunch. MAJOR regrets. My salad was mostly raw red cabbage while my boyfriend's French toast was completely void of any flavor and was essentially custard as it was so undercooked. All of this after waiting 30 minutes for two meals that take less than 10 minutes to make at home. We won't be eating here again.

      Really hit and miss. Pros: fried chicken with mashed potatoes and collards was delicious. As was the baked mac and cheese. Cocktail was tiny but delicious. Loved the aesthetic they were going for. Cons: tabletops are right next to each other separated by a 4" bar, so it's like you're literally having dinner with the table next to you and you have to choose your conversation wisely. Stage by the door took up the whole wall and was awkward. Bar wall looked somewhat empty. So the whole ambiance looked like a halfway finished restaurant with awkward seating. Jambalaya was inedible. So salty even someone who loves salt couldn't eat it. What really disappointed was the server. I generally don't care much one way or the other with servers, but I got a tiny 2-3oz cocktail that I'd been nursing and when she came to ask how food was, she cleared it without asking! What was left in the glass was relative to its tiny size, but there was still a good bit left! Not great service on a $15 cocktail. Further, we did let her know the jambalaya was inedible and she didn't even say that she'd pass the message along. So definite potential at this restaurant, but several misses.

      Wowza! What an amazing experience. We had a little bit off the happy hour menu and a little bit off the regular menu. We ordered the salmon sliders (smoky goodness), loaded hashbrown (I mean...), deviled eggs (topped with crispy shrimp), cucumber tea sandwiches (amazing umami), lamb ribs with German potato salad (I now love lamb ribs), chicken and foie gras nuggets (holy mother...SO good, SO decadent) and cocktails...great selection of wine, beer and cocktails. Service was impeccable...you can tell when an entire restaurant staff passionate about what they do, and this place is a shining example. I can't wait to come back!

      I'll keep this short and sweet! I've been here a few times now, different times during the day (brunch, happy hour, dinner). Each visit was a pleasant experience. I have nothing remotely negative to say! The wait staff has always been kind, attentive, and helpful!

      During the warm months they have outdoor seating. They have live music from time to time. There's a large bar on the main floor. And there's a bar upstairs, that offers more of a private lounge experience if you can snag one of those tables! There's a TV upstairs if you're trying to catch a game.

      The closest parking would be street parking surrounding the block or a parking garage on E Market/High St.
