    My two friends and I had Saturday brunch here around 1:30. It wasn’t busy at all, our hostess and server had great customer service, and the brunch menu is decent. It’s somewhat limited in options but I would go back to taste their dinner menu. We had a mimosa flight which was really good and the food didn’t take all day to come out. We also asked our waitress if we could move from a table to a booth and she happily accommodated us. Overall, I would try here again.

    It was my first time here. I made reservations for 8:30 and was not accommodated until 930-945 after I had to get someone attention. The servers did not show up to our table until we had been sitting for at least 30 minutes and I finally walked to the bar to get someone. It was my birthday and we didn’t enjoy it like we should have.

    I waited 2 hours on just one round of drinks. Never made it to order food. My server was constantly gone and rarely checked on us. I had to ask 3 people just to get her to come out. I came here for my birthday and was disappointed I didn’t eat and had to leave the place I made reserved ahead of time. I was not asked about my birthday sign I requested. This really was a waste of time, the service needs to match the look of the place.

    Had reserved a table, called to inform party would be late, still had to wait 15 mins to be seated. Once seated, had to wait another 30 mins just for to order food. Also, no paper menu, you have to scan your phone, or either Google. Regular drinks and alcohol drinks were being served in plastic cups. Food was decent but a bit over priced for value. Definitely not what my party and I anticipated. May consider coming again, not sure.

    My hookah was horrible it never blew correctly. We let having to get the servers attention for help because she definitely wasn’t attentive. We never got water refills or a new hookah. Also, she isn’t the top yo try to fix it and burnt the taste of plastic in the hookah too! Could have been an off day but for $170 we would have done better at home

    Poor service. Out of most of the item on the menu with no accommodations offered. Went during Sunday midday happy hour hours that we advertised on social media & confirmed by server, but still got overcharged full price for multiple items. Hookahs we’re low quality, drinks were ok.

    Had a reservation for 3:30 & was seated at 4pm. Ordered greens that tasted like a box of salt with half a serving. I ask the sever why it’s not full , she say they ran out of greens. They was out of Mac & chz too. Was a great atmosphere though but wasn’t thrill about the food!

    It was my birthday and I had to pay for my own birthday sign. Then we first came in the hostess was rude. She finally got us set. The turn over of tables are horrible its not that much seating they might want to add a time frame for better service. The server had us sitting for over 30 min. Keep walking past then would say I'll be back. The food came out cold. We didn't receive refills. They set my party of 6 at a 4 top. Asked for other table hostess walked off. I was told previously they had bad service. Wanted to see for myself. They do. Overall I wouldn't be back till they got better servers and service. She complained that I didn't leave the extra tip. She wasn't deserving of the automatic tip added. They should do better.

    Overall, horrible birthday experience. The dressing is STOVE TOP, the greens were salty, the corn came straight from the pasture and stuck it in the oven, no seasoning, no nothing…just crunchy. The drinks were mediocre after waiting 45mins to get them. Staff was pleasant but overall this was a very poor experience.

    While the food was good... this place leaves a lot to be desired.. I had no idea HOOKAHing was offered ..and I take responsibility for not reading everything on the website; I don't get the whole HOOKAH thing to have dinner..the atmosphere was dingy and loud..there were cigarette butts at the entrance and the foyer floor was dirty.. I guess for the younger crowd it's acceptable, but for an exceptional after CHURCH DINING experience,this was not it.. but the food was good.. I probably won't go back..

    The overall idea of a bar & bistro are a great idea, but when customer service is compromised that idea needs to revamped. The atmosphere was good. We had a reservation at 7:45 pm; however, it was 30 minutes before we were ever seated. Also, we had to wait 30 minutes before our waitress visited our table to even take our drink orders. Lastly, we literally waited an hour to close out our ticket after we finished eating.

    Got there at 7:30 didn’t get a waitress till 7:50. Food was great but, it took almost 2 hours. I asked for cheese on my broccoli when it came out it was bone on there I said just bring me some cheese, the waitress said naw we are gone this right so you brought me a another saucer with my broccoli and cheese. My friend ordered a second drink at 9:00 didn’t get it till after we paid for our food and was ready to go. Our waitress was the best.

    I was expecting a nice quiet dinner but what I experienced was a club atmosphere. We sat there for over an hour before receiving our food. The drink options were very limited and most bottles were either empty or almost empty. The food was just ok. Fried fish was cooked in old grease, greens were salty, the Mac & Cheese was good though and the servers were friendly.
