   We went on Valentine’s Day. So I feel like that was a Litl too busy , to get the full experience of the restaurant, for the first time.

   This review is hard because, I’m super proud of a black own/operated fine dining experience however I’m conflicted because I don’t want to be too critical. Positives: the food is absolutely delicious! Undeniable. Buuut, the price is not worth the $$$. Waitstaff/Servers very professional and the uniforms are trendy. Negatives: I know of no fine dining experience that have table side entertainment that begs/haggles patrons for a tip. Shocked that a 12% cc fee is added to the bill. Luckily I had enough cash to cover the $326 bill for 3 ppl (did not include alcohol) Soft drinks are $5 per glass, no complimentary refills (fountain drinks at that) The restaurant allows ppl (business owners) to go table to table passing out business cards, while patrons dine. Tables are to close together. Patrons in the front have to move their chair to let ppl walking by pass. These are some things I wish I’d known prior to booking a reservation.

   I would recommend it if you want to grab a glass of wine and listen to some live music. I recently went to celebrate my birthday on 1/8/22 and we had to send our cosmos back due to them tasting like cough syrup and requested wine instead. I guess that upset the bartender because they made sure we got the wine we ordered well after our food was already eaten. When the food came it was small portions of food that was not seasoned well. We asked our waitress to bring us salt and pepper and she brought it about 15 mins later once the food was cold. I really wished it was better and I’m so sad about it because I am a huge foodie.

   Nice place for a special occasion but food is over priced. I really liked the macaroni and the salad but everything else (my steak, and cocktails) was just “ok.” Very nice ambiance though. I would go back in the summer to see if the menu is different and to see what the summer vibes are like.

   New Years Eve Date Night Was looking forward to spending a romantic evening at a restaurant we had never tried. We ordered the New Years Eve special, steak and potatoes. My steak came out cold. My husband and I ended up sharing his fatty steak. Our waiter seemed to be stretched thin. The manager and waiter apologized and removed my entree from the bill. It ruined my highly anticipated night. The restaurant is cute, had a nice vibe but I don’t think I’ll be back. 😩

   Went for New Years Eve. Food was good but below average for the price. The duck was good/average, The Grouper fish was similar to a $10.00 fish and chips meal at your local diner. The presentation and quality of the popcorn shrimp appetizer was the most notable part of the meal (served in a mini popcorn machine). My wife and I enjoyed the French Onion soup. My wife actually liked the Mac & cheese, which should not be the highlight of a meal. The service was great, which was the saving grace of a 2 star rating. I’ve told friends I would not recommend it price to value. If they get their price in line with the food I would recommend it. Should have been $100.00 dinner, it was $170.00. You do the math as I’ve listed everything we had besides a Diet Coke and a Long Island iced tea.

   Pack your patience! Food is delicious, yet the kitchen is sloooooow to send out the order, esp if there are large parties scheduled.
