Everything was good and food was good but wasn’t served hot. I didn’t care for that. But I’m definitely going back. I’ll request that my food is served hot while placing my order.

Restaurant does not require a reservation. It’s more of a lounge bar. Don’t expect to get served quickly. It took 45 mins to get drinks and appetizers. Dinner which was nachos and beef sliders took another 45 minutes. Beef was burned and they were taken off our bill. I will never go there again. Live band was loud but good.

Great food, drinks, and vibes! My friends and I did a Sunday brunch so there was a live DJ playing all of our 90s R&B favorites that had us singing in between bites. We had the mimosa tower and it was a hit. It was just the right amount of mimosa and you didn’t have to wait for refills with the tower. I had the chicken and waffles, it was fresh, hot and delicious. I would definitely visit again and try some other dishes because they had a lot of great options.

Food was average, the tequila flight lacked flavor and the waitress didn’t inform us of what each flavor was as it related to the flights! The price was adequate in relation to the food and drinks! The Jerk Flatbread was delicious!
