    Food came out hot, it tasted really good. The service was nice and accommodating. My picky-eater wife loved her meal. Ambiance was cool with old school R&B in the background. Oakland legend Too Short was at the table next to us. Definitely will return.

    Poor service. We waited for two hours and did not get our food while someone at the next table got served shortly after arriving. We ended up walking out.

    We were visiting from Atlanta, and we made it a priority to patronage black owned businesses. After reading the reviews and seeing pics of the food, we were sold. My hubby was so excited he asked if we could move our reservation time up. It was definitely worth it. My hubby ordered the lobster fries and his only “complaint” was that he couldn’t finish it due to the portion size. My Dungeness crab with garlic noodles were perfect. The crab was seasoned well, but not too much to take away from the taste of the crab. I will visit every time I come back to Oakland!!

    My food was cooked to perfection, from the host to the wait staff the service was great. Be patient, the food is cooked to order, so if it's crowded it may take up to 45 minutes to get served, but it's worth the wait.

    Food was amazing, I got the salmon with crack and cheese and yams a side of greens and garlic noodles. All the flavors were top tier and the leftovers even tasted great the next day. 10/10!!!
