From the grassy walls, plush wall bench, black art, and illuminated signs on the walls with the slogan “Indulge and Feed Your Soul”, I knew I was in for a treat.
Experiencing Indulgence Southern Bistro
I popped in on a Thursday around 12:00n, they open at 7:00am, I totally avoided any rush. As I was concluding my visit people were coming! This spot is small and dead slap in the middle of Downtown. If considering eating here on the weekends, there could be a wait.
I was quickly seated and the waitress/ bartender immediately took my order.



What I Ordered
Online the drinks look lush so I decided to try a strawberry mimosa. It came out green and packed a PUNCH. lol. WHEW. One thing you can count on is getting tipsy here. I was feeling it with one drink. Chile.
For my food I will admit I wasn’t super hungry. So I wanted a small bite. However, I went with the waiter’s suggestion of salmon bites and sauteed spinach. My food came out fast hot and visually pleasing.
Salmon Bites
Nice proportion and fresh. These indulgent pieces of heaven melted in my mouth. The bites were seasoned well and fried to perfection. They come with a sweet chili sauce. Delicious
Sauteed Spinach
Fresh spinach, not the frozen stuff. It was also seasoned perfectly and cooked. The only problem I had was I wanted more. 🙂
