    Our First visit and we had a reservation. Food was really good, however The service was very slow, specifically the bar and Waiter/Waitress table service. We waited over 25 minutes for drinks. I ended up cancelling my drink order. There was not enough Waiter/Waitress staff working Fathers Day.

    We went for Father's Day, it was a great atmosphere, the host was very friendly, the music was great to listen to while you waited for your seat or food and the food was good. Definitely would recommend you take uber or Lyft. Parking is not convenient.

    The whole experience was great. They are very nice and professional. The chicken and waffles I had was excellent. The chicken was seasoned to.perfection. The drinks to me wasn't tasteful but my daughter loved the mimosa

    This was my first time here for brunch. I thought the food would be just as good as the dinner menu options are. However, the ambiance to the new location is phenomenal and I was in awe. The receptionist in the front was very nice and made it welcoming. Our waitter was awesome friendly and caring and took care of all of our needs. However the food was not worth the amount of money I spent. I ordered chicken sausage and they taste like pork sausage and they were very small. Turning Point breakfast place has the best chicken breakfast sausage (sorry Amina). Brunch isn't to die for. However, I will be back as I like to dine here for dinner.

    Amazingly flavorful food, with generous portions. The overall vibe from receptionist to the server was energetic and welcoming. We spoke to the owner who happened to be onsite. Although a bit pricey ($12 for squares of cornbread), would go again for a couples date night or special occasion.

    Yesterday's visit to Amina's was outstanding in terms of atmosphere, service, and the delicious food. Celebrating my daughter Kiana's birthday was a highlight. Words can not express how much we loved all of the seasoned, delicious food! We will be back soon.

    The food was very good , especially the oxtails! Everyone enjoyed their meal and the service was good . My only suggestion is to put more alcohol in the drinks especially for the cost of the drinks
