The specials for this week, though a little pricey, were very delicious. The service was exceptional. We were not disappointed. Menu options are numerous and cost less. Definitely a place to consider for group gatherings -- they offer several seating locations to accommodate all sizes of groups.

Staff were very nice and professional. The food is hit or miss. It depends on what you get. The yams were really good. I would avoid the fried chicken.
