COMMUNION Restaurant & Bar

Really liked the food here. The fried chicken was amazing (so juicy! so tasty with the hot sauce!) and the banana pudding was to die for. Like it was so good. Other reviews said the catfish grits was great but I thought it was just fine. The grits were watery and the catfish was pretty good but nothing to write home about. The Mac and cheese was great (it had a kick which was really cool) and I also thought the cornbread was really solid, worth getting. Grilled okra was good but a little salty. Overall the fried chicken and banana pudding made the meal worth it and the cornbread and the mac and cheese were both really good too. Was a bit disappointed by the catfish and okra based on other reviews but they were fine. I'd definitely come again! Oh also we came at 5:40 for the walk up and got a table in 15-20 mins, I think because of a reservation cancellation. They said it could take an hour and a half without any cancellations which I didn't understand because there was only one other party ahead of us and there was a bar that would open up. Anyway the walk up was fine but you may have to get lucky waiting on someone to cancel, which seems pretty frequent since people just nab reservations way ahead of time here.

First I have to say the catfish and grits was one of the best dishes I’ve had! Unique and so flavorful. A lot of the appetizers were amazing as well (except the hood sushi wasn’t as impressive as I’d hoped). Overall I was impressed with the food but not as much the ambience. I felt like I had to shout to communicate with those at my table because the music and crowd was so loud and the service was on the slower side. They were also out of almost all the desserts which was a bummer. Pretty pricey for what it was but glad I was able to try this spot!

Tldr - Good place. In their brunch menu, egg Benedict was amazing. Hush puppies & grits, Shrimp & Grit were okay. Not worth the price. Want to try their dinner/lunch menu sometime. Went for a sunday brunch. Loved the look of the place. Service was really good. The presentation of the food was amazing. For the taste, it was good, not amazing. For the price I was expecting more. I had the bloody mary shrimp & grits, my wife had the hush puppies & grits, my friend had the Laos Sausage Eggs Benedict and also got Unc's wings for the table. Laos Sausage Eggs Benedict - this was amazing. The hollandaise sauce had a pinch of spice (like szechaun peppers). It went well with the creamy sauce. The sausage chunks were good. I would have preferred the eggs to be runny on the inside by these were solid. I would come again and try this The rest were just good. Nothing unique to them. They could have added their touch to the wings sauce. It was just a regular buffalo sauce. The grits could have used some more cheese. Hush puppies were bland. I also tried their side of chick sausage (The shrimp didn't satiate my meat craving). I liked them. Lot of fat and mild spice. It was juicy! And finally thier side of fruit salad! These were not fresh fruits. They were canned with some syrup which had a touch of Thai red chilli. This small addition of spice made a big diff. The sweet syrup was no longer just sweet, it had a nice spice to it. I drank the syrup too.
