Like the previous eatery at this location (the Shark Bar) a soul-inspired menu is featured. Rooftop deck is probably the best in the city!

Dinner menu options ($11-20) include Cajun chicken, pork chops, and catfish. Sides include macaroni and cheese and grilled corn. Desserts include bread pudding and hot fudge sundaes.

Sunday brunch buffet ($17) 11am-3pm. Open for dinner M-Sat only. Sunday nights, after 9pm, Miller sponsors a party on the rooftop deck. - wm, 05/08/2005

The music was great and I had a ball. The night I went Q-Tip was in the house, and we talked to him. That was the high-light of the evening. There were two levels, but they played almost the same type of music. The food was also really soulful and tasty. I had a Soul Roll that contained black-eyed peas, chicken, and collard greens in a flaky crust. It was awesome! Unfortunately, the guys danced in huddles with the guys and the girls danced in huddles with the girls. The party also got shut-down a little early without warning. I was disappointed



in that, but overall I had a great time. - Maere, 05/31/2005

Have enjoyed myself there a few times for drinks and hors d'oeuvres. The atmosphere is upscale and modern. Nice decor and good crowd. They had live music on the 2nd level which was great and the top deck had a great view of the downtown skyline. Be prepared to fork over a little more coin than you would at the neighborhood bar, ya gotta remember the neighborhood is high-rent. I recommend trying it out though. Would be cool for a first date and/or with friends as well. - Christopher Valentine, 04/25/2005
