    The experience was quite disappointing. Very loud. Definitely not a place to low key chill because the entire time there were distractions and chaos. R@B Music was so loud until we found ourselves screaming back and forth having a conversation . To each its own. But not the places I would go back to. But I would get the banana pudding to go hands down.

    Came with total of 5 people. Made reservation but they stated they gave our table away (yes, we were on time) . server explained all specials as this was our first time here. Drinks 10/10 , food was a solid 6. None of the food was hot it seemed like it had already been cooked . Stated they would have a band but it was downstairs . Didn’t know that. DJ was okay. Overall a solid 6/10 .

    The only thing that saved this place was the live music, shout out to the band, Too Much Talent who saved the evening and saved me from leaving. Their vibes were immaculate. On the other hand, the food was a 1/10 for me. The food was not well seasoned, felt rushed, and my yams were so hard I could not stick my fork in it. The sever was overwhelmed with multiple people complaining about their dish as well. For the price you pay, I expect more. My drink 3/10 overly sweet, not all that. Highly disappointed. Please do better.

    A great location with plenty of free and paid parking. I had a reservation among arriving i was greeted by their doorman and welcomed in after providing my name we was immediately seated. After being seated within 6 mins our server (Christina) arrived at the table welcoming us and taking our drink orders. Once she arrived back with our drinks she was ready to take our food order. Let me say Christina's service was the best wish i can have her at every restaurant i go too!! Food arrived at the table within 10/15mins fresh, hot and well seasoned. After a good meal and wonderful strong drinks we was presented with the bill. Now like i said the food was good but not at the prices being charged let me just give you a heads up, two people have $300 on deck not including their 20% service charge added to your total bill then for you to still tip the server but in my case the server deserved extra not a complaint from me on her service the whole time. I may go back i did see other things i wouldn't mind trying off their menu.
