Oooh Wee It Is

Ayo Edebiri made us come here: Here to review the restaurant and the restaurant only. Easy to get to off the interstate.
Upon turning into the parking lot we were greeted by the valet, which was very reasonably priced and the guys working were very pleasant.
We were greeted by the hostesses as soon as we walked in and placed on a waiting list.
It was a busy Saturday lunch but the staff seemed to be handling it well.
We were sat within 10 minutes in a corner table by the kitchen.
Loved the open kitchen, the cooks on the line seemed locked in.
The tall young lady in the braids, I assumed was the owner or manager that day was very polite and checked on us a few times.
Our server, Daniesha was busy but never skipped a beat.
She took our order in a reasonable time and made sure everything was good.
NOW FOR THE FOOD: Of course we ordered the pot roast cupcake: it was delicious… the pot roast was flavorful and the cake was sweet which complimented the savory roast well.
We ordered: Cajun Green tomatoes, the Oxtail palate with rice & gravy and Mac & Cheese, the Grilled Shrimp & Grits with a side of candied yams.
The food came out piping hot, the portions were HUGE, and everything was well seasoned.
Being from Louisiana I have high standards about food (TASTE in particular) and honestly everything was delicious.
I was very pleased with the size of the oxtail.
They were big, meaty pieces and the gravy was so good.
My wife loved the flavor on the shrimp and grits and said the yams were some of the best she’s had.
Everything was reasonably priced and honestly we had a great experience.
Looking forward to bringing my family here when they visit.

This review is actually for "Maxine's" which is another iteration of ooh wee it is for special occasions; which I'm told will happen more often in the weeks to follow.
It's was definitely upscale dining feel.
The dishes were both visually and tastefully impressive.
There's live music, white tablecloth seating and complimentary valet.
I'd make this a guarantee return spot for special occasions or date night.
