Me and my wife came for our one year anniversary and the host and staff were so welcoming and friendly! Great customer service and the food was AMAZING!!! I wanted to try something new, so I got the Lemon Avocado Toast with the crab and she got the creole style shrimp and grits, A-MAZ-INGGG!!!
I have NEVER been to a restaurant quite like this... it is a modern urban oasis restaurant in Hillcrest, the layout is set up to where you enter into an indoors part, however it remains outdoors. You can pick whether you want to sit in the indoors portion, or outside. We picked outside, and it was really interesting to see all the apartments above us...
All I can say is WOW! I knew this place would be good, but not this good! insideOUT is the perfect spot in Hillcrest for a fun, upbeat, DELICIOUS date or group meal. The service was on point, bringing out our food and drinks in an orderly fashion. The atmosphere of this place is so beautiful, something you wouldn't expect in this area...
Came here for brunch for my bday back in April and it was so great! Service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Came back about a week ago for dinner and the food was once again amazing, and the service was top notch! This place has such a beautiful setting!
