    I usually don't write reviews, but I had to go all out for this place. It was the best service I've ever had in my entire life. So many people checked up on us to make sure we were doing fine. The management with amazing. Our server was amazing. The food was amazing. I am 100% telling all of my friends about this place. I wish I could go back today, it was that fantastic.

    I arranged a group brunch for 12 to celebrate my sister’s 46th birthday on a Sunday afternoon. We had a WONDERFUL experience! The food was really good, especially the waffle—get the waffle! Many also raved over the fried chicken. The best part though was the staff. Everyone was welcoming, kind, helpful, attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this location for a beautiful brunch experience!

    Great spot this will definitely be in the regular rotation. Good choices from either the happy hour or brunch menu Had the beef jerk bites and deviled eggs along with the bottomless Old Fashion which I recommends

    My wife and I enjoyed our time here yesterday. She ordered the fish (sea bass I think), and I ordered the steak and fries. Both were delicious. Crystal at the front and Erica, our waitress, were phenomenal. My wife and I will be back very soon. Five stars.

    Took my wife here for Valentines Day 2025. Food was amazing! She had the sea bass (her fav) and I had the seafood Pasta. Only got the pasta bc I got the steak appetizer...which was also amazing; tender and flavorful! The devil eggs were mid, nothing special. Spirit free watermelon mint was awesome too! Great night! Even the valet guys were chill yet professional! Great experience, will make my way for brunch!
