Bottom
Line:
Would
recommend
if
you
haven't
had
it
before.
A
bit
more
expensive
than
I
think
it's
worth,
but
nice
atmosphere,
good
food,
amazing
service
Atmosphere:
You
really
get
a
southern
vibe
at
this
restaurant.
Very
spacious,
natural
lighting,
moderate
noise.
As
soon
as
you
walk
in,
you’ll
see
a
lot
of
things
from
Forrest
Gump
which
was
very
nostalgic.
Food:
The
food
was
for
the
most
part
good.
Both
plates
did
come
out
a
bit
messy
so
I
took
points
for
presentation.
Mama
Blue’s
Shrimp
Gumbo
was
a
bit
salty,
but
otherwise
had
good
flavor.
The
slurry
of
the
soup,
softness
of
the
rice,
and
solidity
of
the
shrimp
gave
a
great
combination
of
textures
in
the
mouth.
The
scallion
garnish
added
a
nice
bold
touch.
The
Bourbon
St.
Mahi
Mahi
with
Shrimp
was
a
bit
here
and
there.
As
with
the
previous
dish,
the
plate
came
in
a
bit
messy,
but
the
fish
was
cooked
well.
The
sauce
was
a
bit
over
cooked.
There
was
that
“burnt
plastic”
like
film
on
the
surface
of
the
sauce
that
you
get
when
you
over
cook
sauces.
The
grilled
shrimp
was
also
over
cooked
and
the
mashed
potato’s
were
much
thicker
than
I
prefer.
The
flavor
of
the
potato’s
were
mild
in
strength.
The
sweet
potato
crisps
added
a
nice
touch
of
crunch
and
sweetness
while
the
scallions
and
diced
tomatoes
added
nice
texture
to
the
potato’s.
Service:
I
sat
at
the
bar
upstairs
My
server
was
Derek
and
let
me
tell
you,
whatever
he’s
being
paid,
it
is
not
NEARLY
enough.
This
man
was
bouncing
all
over
bar
handling
the
entire
floor
practically
on
his
own.
He
really
triggered
my
ADHD(which
is
a
compliment).
It
was
very
impressive
how
much
attention
he
kept
on
me
and
each
other
party
at
the
bar
without
losing
track
of
what
each
of
us
wanted.
This
is
the
first
time
I’ve
ever
not
only
explicitly
acknowledged
one
specific
staff
member
in
my
reviews,
but
also
given
a
restaurant
five
starts
for
service.
Keep
up
the
good
work
Derek,
I
hope
that
you
are
appreciated
by
your
leadership
and
colleagues
as
much
as
you
are
by
your
customers.
Overall,
could
be
a
bit
cheaper
but
good
atmosphere,
food
could
be
better
flavor,
cooking
quality,
and
presentation
wise
but
was
still
good,
and
the
service
was
immaculate.
The
price
and
the
food
makes
me
give
it
3
stars.
I
wish
I
could
give
it
3.5
stars
due
to
the
amazing
service.
