Great food, drinks, and vibes! My friends and I did a Sunday brunch so there was a live DJ playing all of our 90s R&B favorites that had us singing in between bites. We had the mimosa tower and it was a hit. It was just the right amount of mimosa and you didn’t have to wait for refills with the tower. I had the chicken and waffles, it was fresh, hot and delicious. I would definitely visit again and try some other dishes because they had a lot of great options.

Food was average, the tequila flight lacked flavor and the waitress didn’t inform us of what each flavor was as it related to the flights! The price was adequate in relation to the food and drinks! The Jerk Flatbread was delicious!

I sat at the bar and I had a waitress with short hair on March 15th @4pm. She was very inattentive and my food was given to me 7-10 mins after the person I was with got his food.

This was my second time here and the last. It took the server 30 minutes before coming to the table to ask if we needed anything not that she was busy with customers. She was too busy going back and forth outside to talk with customers who leaving. Reservation was at 4p restaurant closes at 7p and our food finally came at 630p was hot barely warm and look as if the chicken was refried needless to say the manager offered a 50% discount but who's going to eat food or pay for food that sat for who knows how long. There are no excuses as to why your customers should ever receive service like this. We were also told that next we come try coming earlier as if you get better service early in the day. Listen I am in the service industry and I would never give lack luster service to anyone.

Waitress kept getting lost and then really couldn’t cash out cause she was doing karaoke. I can see more dishonest people being able to run out on the bill because I really should have to look for my waitress then find her only because it was her turn to sing then wait for my waitress to finish singing to take care of the check. I had to get up find her to order more drinks and to take care of my bill. Other than that it was a good night.

Service was horrible. I made reservations and still had to wait 45 minutes for a table. After waiting 45 minutes to be seated I had to wait an additional 40 minute's to be served. I ended up leaving because after waiting all that time I wasn't even served a drink. It was just just terrible service.

I took my daughter out for Valentine’s Day and we were not disappointed. We started off with the salmon bites, they were dry but they came with a sweet sauce that made them tolerable. For my entree I had the short ribs over mashed potatoes with a side of collard greens. The short ribs were flavorful and tender, the collards did not disappoint either. They were doing karaoke by 8pm so things got a little loud but it was still a good time.
