    I had the absolute best time at this Black-owned gem! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was top-tier — warm, welcoming, and super attentive without being overbearing. The management team was outstanding and made sure everything ran smoothly, which made us feel truly valued as guests. Now let’s talk about the food… chef’s kiss! Every dish was seasoned to perfection and full of flavor — you can tell a lot of love goes into the kitchen here. The ambiance was just right too: vibrant, but not too loud, so my girlfriends and I could actually enjoy our conversations without yelling over each other. It was the perfect friends’ night out — great vibes, delicious food, and incredible service. Can’t wait to come back!
