    My 1st intro was the hostess. I was running a bit late. I called to make sure it wouldn't be a problem. Hostess was most gracious. Upon arrival hostess offered me a table & asked if it was ok. I requested another table. The cleaned the table immediately & Sat me. Our waiter's name was Gee, however there was another server that assisted, Leonel pronounced Lay-o-nel. Both young men were very accommodating, friendly, & knowledgeable about the menu. They were absolutely WONDERFUL!! I was extremely impressed with the food & drink. I'll definitely be going back!!!

    The soup of the day was black bean soup which was recommended. So delicious and warm on a cold rainy night. Sat too close to the door and felt it every time the door opened. The soup and cocktail helped warm the soul.

    It was my first time there with my friend and we really enjoyed ourselves. We opted to sit in the restaurant area and the music was nice. Definitely snapping and singing along. The staff was very friendly, and attentive to our needs. Our server Christopher was amazing. He gave us great suggestions on appetizers and entree selections and they were perfect. Get the Grand Marnier wings and the oxtail dinner. The rum cake did not appoint. I had the hands on your knees drink and it was good. Stop thinking about it and go.
