The live singer was great! He really could sing and made the evening enjoyable. The oxtails, roasti pasta and yams were absolutely delicious.

Customer Service was superb! It was a little warm in the building and my ox tails were a little cold. Everything else was great!

Food was really salty! Wasn’t able to finish the meal but my pallet is a little more sensitive to salt than the average African American so I understand why it gets high ratings. Outside the food, everything else was 5 stars; especially the faculty and staff
