   It’s a lowkey spot not to busy not to packed. The vibe is good and the ambiance is cute dim light vibe very chill. The service was good they are all welcoming and pleasant and very attentive. The food on the other hand could have been better it needs more seasoning. The shrimp was over cooked and the calamari was fresh but wet as if it was freshly cut rinsed off and didn’t have a chance to dry dipped in batter and not fried hard. It was just an unpleasant feel while chewing. This was just my experience. If I did come back I’d just make sure to ask for my calamari fried hard.

   I dined here on Saturday, November 23 with my nieces. Upon arrival, the hostess was super friendly. Once seated, we were given one menu and told they ran out of menus; there were five of us. Unacceptable! So, we viewed the menu on the website to speed up placing our orders. I noticed some items on the website were not on the physical menu. Our server was okay but not very friendly. The food was not tasty at all and very overpriced. Our first round of drinks came out quickly, but I waited a while for my second glass of wine – just a simple pour should not take long. I usually tip based on the service I received. In this instance, the tip was way too much for the service provided, and I had no control over it because it’s automatically included, but honestly, that was not the main issue. I just wished the food was more tasty, given the high prices. I have no desire to return. The ambiance, however, is amazing and the music was great!

   The decor was really nice, pleasant staff. Service was a bit slow, maybe due to a private event. The food was pretty good as well. I enjoyed my time

   This was our 18th wedding anniversary & chose to celebrate it somewhere new. The ambiance was amazing. Our server was very attentive & the service was amazing. Everything came out right on time which was greatly appreciated. We had chicken & vegetable spring rolls which were amazing. My husband ordered sweet & sour chicken which he loved & I ordered beef & broccoli which was good but I felt the beef was a lil chewy. My drink Mai Tai wasn’t that good but the mistaken drink Brooklyn was amazing. We will be back again in the future to try some other food.

   If your going for a birthday celebration stay away from this place.I went to this restaurant for my birthday and the server that serve me and my friends was rude.The place is trash.The food doesn’t taste good.The server that work there was very rude.she is a Spanish lady .She ignores me when am asking questions about the menu and the lady that serve us wasn’t nice she keep rushing us to order our food because she is telling us there is a big party of people coming which I don’t care because I went to celebrate my birthday.The place wasn’t that crowded either I didn’t get time to order my food.If your running a business like this you are supposed ensure that your fully staffed instead of rushing people.They are also short staff and only one waiter came to sing me happy birthday with a cake,Normally when I go to restaurants for my birthday it’s always 2 or 3 waitress that comes over to your table to sing happy birthday the vibes was very poor and the ambiance .This restaurant is not for a birthday celebration it’s more of business dinner type of place.Never again going back there.

   The food was not good. The manager was lovely and she came over and checked on us. Our server disappeared and we saw him as we were leaving speaking with the hostess in the front. Not great service.

   The seating is terrible. The tables are too close and on top of each other. You can only walk sideways to get into the tables. There was only one waitress and two runners. The manager did redo my food order but it took an additional hour to get. The ambience is very nice that’s about it. The food is overpriced for sure. I have no problem paying for good food. When you come from another state to experience an establishment because they make it seem like it’s something really nice… it’s very disappointing when it’s not.

   Dear Shawanda, Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry the seating and service didn’t meet your expectations, and we’ll be addressing both issues to improve the experience. While I’m glad you enjoyed the ambiance, I regret the disappointment with the food. Your feedback is valuable, and I hope you’ll give us another chance to deliver the experience you deserve. Best, Shanice Sampson General Manager

    Beautiful restaurant… a bit overpriced… felt rushed when eating. My appetizer was packed up due to the entree coming so quickly even though I was told there would be a wait for the main course which I was ok with.. Drinks were good. Service was good but I really did not like that I was rushed to eat…
