Amazing experience. The vibe is perfect if you’re looking for a Black upbeat R&B vibe with the occasional Hip Hop mix while enjoying great food. The plating of the dishes is top tier. And the taste delivers. The lighting is great with amazing ambiance. You can dress very business casual or go for an upscale street wear look, either way you better come dressed to impress. The drinks are well made and look just as good as they taste. The management is very customer oriented and will tailor to your needs and wants. Once you finish with your meal, their dessert is exquisite, or you can hit their lounge and take the night from grown n sexy to turnt up with a perfect vibe that matches the dining experience in execution.
