    Great experience. Very vibrant! Recommend if in Harlem. Probably not the best value though as it’s pricey for what you get.

    Food - horrible! Service - great! Drinks - great (but $20 each to sit around loud drunk people in the hood)…. Quite the disconnect .

    Love the vibe! Food was good, but a little salty and redundant like all the dishes were sort of the same combination of the same ingredients.

    The host hit on my partner, explained the menu exclusively to my partner and didn't even look at me.Everything was to my partner. As my partner ordered his steak medium well, the man then said "ah, yes that's easier on the mouth" with a little smirk. It made us both very uncomfortable. He would then "check on us" every two minutes making small talk exclusively with my partner ( again, making us uncomfortable by ignoring me) If that wasn't enough, when the food did come out my salmon (which was clearly frozen before) was like a brick and the steak was undercooked. The only reason we tipped 20% was because other people helped us. Wanted to try this place for the longest. It was my idea to come but we'll never be returning. Completely unprofessional and the food was mid.

    First time eating here. Service was very attentive. Prices are high for such an unassuming space. Had the flounder filet with jollof rice and ripe plantains ( as a Latino getting excellent ripe plantains at NYC restaurants is not as common as you would think). Food was absolutely delicious and the portions were generous. Fish cooked to perfection with a fantastic breading and the fruity sauce on the plantains was wonderful when I put it on the fish. Iced tea was good, too!
