    Such a great experience! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful. We started with the catfish dip and deviled eggs which were great! I had the chicken and my husband had the lamb and we really enjoyed both. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! Must try!

    Food was amazing, service was great, music was complimentary of the vibe. I asked the chef to bring me something that would make me come back and he did not disappoint! Deviled eggs and catfish dip were a hit! Salmon was great. My wife’s oxtails & rice were delicious. Vino was on point. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back! Job well done!
