First, I would like to say I'm very disappointed with my first experience with the Establishment. I was very disappointed in how the business part was run. To start, when ordering, scan the QR code on the table. Some prices aren't accurate; you won't know this until you receive your bill. Totally wrong in my opinion. Their system has another Price, that's not how you do business. Drink prices are non-refundable if your drink isn't to your liking; it's their policy. If the bar makes you a bad drink and you don't like it, you will still be charged for it. I don't agree with that as well, the lighting in my opinion is to dark, it need a little more lighting, the food was very good and the dessert, I had the ox tails yams, and Mac and cheese, the food was very hot when brought out to the table, my sever were very polite and very helpful when asked about what's good to try food wise. I also would like to say at the end it wasn't a total disaster by it being my wife's birthday, the manager did come and offer to make things right since he noticed my wife had a disgruntle look on her face, all in all I want be coming back due to all the hidden charges and policy of the restaurant that don't have it written anywhere you can see it. That's a Big Problem with me: if you have a problem with your food or drinks, you shouldn't still have to pay for it. I've always been to a restaurant if it's not right you shouldn't have to pay for it my wife ordered a pina colada which should have been $11.00 on the menu come to find out in the system in there system it was more,, so they tried to make it right added a double shot of barcardi and the charge a extra$ 5.00 the drink still wasn't right, my wife then ordered a white Russian which was okay, once I received the bill they didn't take off the pinna colada due there policy, the bar charged $5.00 extrashot of barcardi, the colada drink was a$21. 00 drink plus the $11.00 White Russian my wife received My bill with 18% taxgratuity is $170

Service was a little slow, which I’m assuming was due to Mother’s Day. The food was good, and the music created a nice atmosphere. The Kool-Aid wasn’t my favorite though. What really stood out was Amber. My mom got sick while we were there, and Amber was amazing in helping her feel better. I truly appreciated her kindness and attentiveness. Unfortunately, the service from our server wasn’t great. He was rarely checking on our table, and we often had to stop him as he walked by because he mainly stayed at the same two tables. I didn’t mind the automatic 18% gratuity at first, but it was frustrating once the service started lacking. I probably wouldn’t come back to dine in for my own sanity, but I may order to-go in the future. Overall, I’d still recommend trying it for yourself because everyone’s experience can be different.

Please note that we love giving our business to Black owned establishments but we have to do better. The postives… I got the stuffed chicken breast and my boyfriend got the salmon with an extra side of yams. The food was great the portions were nice and my boyfriend felt the prices were reasonable. He didn’t feel like his Salmon was seasoned throughout but I tasted it and it was fine to me. What stopped this place from being a top contender was NO AC… after walking to the establishment which is in a busy shopping center in 90+ degree weather, then to step in the building and it feels better outside was a huge let down. It was difficult to enjoy the atmosphere when your sweating… I mean curls dropped had to go home and shower again sweating. unfortunately that killed the visit. Furthermore, they have to properly train their staff… Service is whats going to keep people coming even if the food is just average… We had a waiter come to our table to collect our drink orders then when I asked him about a specific popular drink he had no idea what I was talking about. It’s a fancy one that has smoke coming out of it which is posted all over their socials and website, how is he not familiar? Business 101 is knowing your product and the fact the the person taking drink orders didn’t know the drink menu inside and out is a problem. This place had so much potential… so I pray they see this review and make the proper adjustments. Sadly, My boyfriend has decided we won’t be back.
