    The service here was absolutely terrible. On the walk in there was nobody to greet us we waited a while and decided to sit down to which one of the workers yelled at us from the bar area to stay there and wait for her. The waitresses paid no attention to us. We were shown a table we sat down but then she comes back and tells us we have to move to the other side because we can’t be serviced on that side which is where she sat us down. Once she gave us the initial waters to drink we didn’t see her again till we go the food and then again no service till we were about to eat. If it wasn’t for the fact that gratuity was already included I wouldn’t have tipped. Food was mid as well. Will never go back here. And I mean that.

    Worst dining experience ever! We waited 3 hours for our food to come out and our server never came to check on our table after placing our order. Luckily I called the manager over and she was able to bring out our food right away. She was sweet and very apologetic for the long wait but I can’t help but think if I didn’t call her over we would’ve waited even longer for our food smh. We then waited again for the bill to come, it was such a awful experience here and the food surely wasn’t worth it.I do not recommend.

    I love the food and the place but my specific waiter service was poor. She forgot that she was assigned to our table which I gave her grace but she did not make up for it. She was very slow when giving us water and utensils. She didn’t even ask if we were okay. She forgot my friends order. We had to keep calling for her cause she kept disappearing especially when it came to clearing our tables and giving us the check. But honestly not too much on her cause stuff could be happening but at the same time I’ve seen a very busy restaurant with great service. At least my waiter did give me my free birthday dessert with the sparklers which was nice and she took my group pictures. The service may be a little weak for me cause I was seeing other tables have good service but overall I had a good time with my friends. The place gives me club restaurant vibes. It’s very nice. The food was a very good portion with great price and taste.

    delicious food but our order of three dishes took close to two hours to get to the table. we were the only table in the restaurant! then one of the orders was incorrect (but thankfully a replacement came out much more quickly). was also very loud for how empty it was on a Sunday night

    The establishment overall was very nice and the service was great too. The oxtail wasn't cooked long enough so it was really tough to eat but overall the food was good. The location is good for a sunday because parking was not an issue at all which was a relief. I had a wonderful birthday and I will definitely be back.

    The live dj was awesome and the food was great (very spicy though!). I enjoyed my time there but it took 2 hours to get our food, the restaurant was overbooked and the music was wayy too loud to talk to anybody. The waitress tried her best to keep us content and was very sweet

    Could not hear waiter due to music. I ordered something on the menu which took a long time to come out. It wasn’t what I ordered due to them finding out when cooking. Who does that. The rice used was old. The chicken was old very dry and chewy. I expect old as well. I waited 30 mins just to get a take out container

    We sat for two hours and our food never came. The servers tried to be polite and apologetic but it was unacceptable. In the interim we placed an order for calamari to tide us over. The dish was not appetizing or well made. The calamari was over cooked and crunchy. Even after asking for our dishes to go, they never came. A birthday party was happening simultaneously to our event and it seemed that group was being taken care of. Maybe they were relatives of the owner? No manager or anyone came out to apologize or tend to us leaving the servers apologizing repeatedly. There’s no real decor here either and the chairs has food on them and weren’t wiped down. The drinks were way over priced for this venue, though they did taste good.

    We ordered Appetizers, never came. We had to keep asking the waiter “where’s the food!” The main dish came 45 mins later and was extremely salty. Unbearably salty. We asked about our appetizers and she said they lost our order. When she did bring it out after the check, the calamari was burnt

    Came for brunch with a friend and had a good time. The food and DJ are amazing. The only thing I wish was better was the service. Our waitress was very sweet but she also was the only waitress on staff for the restaurant the whole time we were there. So often time we would have to grab her attn to remind her about things we needed but she was always pleasant and apologetic. Otherwise would have given the restaurant 5 stars.

    Nice Experience. Food was excellent. Staff were great. But they need to update their furniture and decor,,, Have better tables. The tables were shaky and they can do better upkeep of the bathroom. Also, they can offer more Selections with Groupon.

    So when you first arrive it seems as if it’s a lounge/club, but once seated and the music begin to play you realize it’s just a great spot to enjoy a good night out. I went here with family from Jamaica who is usually picky about the food they eat, but surprisingly enough they each found something they wanted and the food was so delicious. I NEVER take food home from a restaurant, but this place here, the food was serve in such an abundance there was no way I could have eaten it all there. The drinks were on point and to add to my experience they sold hookah which was the cherry on a perfect sundae. I will be coming back within the next few weeks. That’s how amazing this place was. And the waitress Bella, you ROCK! Thank you for being you and providing amazing service.
