    Celebrated my mother’s 72nd birthday at Sunday brunch. She enjoyed everything and so did I. Can’t wait to return.

    The service was good after I was sweated. The waiter took care of us very well. However, up until then, I struggled with communication from the restaurant and my seats weren’t available upon arrival although I had reservations. When you call, nobody hardly ever answers the phone. They have a spot to communicate with the restaurant and I put that there, they still didn’t answer and still told me to call the restaurant after I told them that I was calling and they weren’t answering. This best explains my rating.

    Love the fact it’s black owned but that’s not enough to get my money again. Ambiance is amazing but everything else was mediocre. When I go out to celebrate a special occasion I expect the best. My waitress was slow, waited a good 20-25 minutes before we got something to drink. I barely cook but I could have cooked my boyfriend a better birthday dinner. I usually pay attention to the reviews but I went against my better judgement and paid the ultimate price!! My advice believe the reviews WE NOT LYING. Hopefully they will get a better chef and staff because that 20% gratuity was not earned.

    Celebrating a family milestone with a small party of 4 should have been a breeze. We had a reservation for 7:15 and we arrived a few minutes early. The valet and hostess staff was nice and attentive. The building aesthetics were also good. Problems : 1. No drink order for 30 min and not until WE stopped someone. 2. 1.5 hours for 2 apps and 3 meals to arrive like warm. The apps were watery spinach dip and calamari . Dinner was 2 lamb chops overcooked, oxtails cold and greasy. The baked fish was the better of the 3 meals. 3. Our server was nice but really bad. He saw each plate was horrible and still proceeded to serve them. The wait time for the entire evening was amplified by the awful food. The table behind me had an equally experience and were very verbal about it. I believe this place has potential. Where was management? No one ever came to either table. Customers can be understanding IF you care about their experience. Come talk to us and try to fix the problem.Good luck!.

    Beautiful view. Outstanding server. Food was unremarkable area around restaurant was a little sketch. We were the only ones in the restaurant valet parking is $20 which is ridiculous. 20% gratuity is included regardless of whether you like anything or not.

    Asked for a specific table on open table app a week in advance, then also called as recommended by hostess, still didn’t get the requested table. Fake plants feel cheap. Very shoddy craftsmanship in bathrooms feel cheap. Food is not worth the very high prices. Probably won’t go back which is sad because the location is phenomenal. They put a lot of effort into their shuttle service which brings you 50 yards, but wish they could put more effort into their actual restaurant service. Needs to step up if it’s going to last.
