In this new opportunity we decided to be true to our roots and develop a concept that reflects our true values and pride from where we come from. We don’t like labels. This applies to our kitchen. We do not consider ourselves as traditional food, or farm to table. We are a team of people trying to honor our culture through what we know: food. We are a blend. We are our own kind of hybrid restaurant. But we have filtered our concept into these three very important words: Kitchen, Culture, Community.

Food has been really good in the past, and maybe it was a fluke this time, but every dish that we had was overcooked. The chicken and rice was dry and bland and the two steaks (medium rare) were well done and crispy. Like i said, it could have been a fluke, but for the expectations previously set by this restaurant this visit was a disappointment.

Great restaurant, however it took a lil too long while not being that busy to receive our order. We waited bout 45 minutes for 2 burgers w fries. I could see if they were just really busy but was not. Staff was very friendly, basically one person was running the dining area and must had one cook for the long wait time on food.
