    Food was just amazing. Sadly service lacked in many areas. Arrived with a reservation at 8:30pm. Didn’t get seated till after 8:40 due to the host confusing a couple of parties. Didn’t like the table they put us at & asked if we could seat at a booth & not right next to the kitchen/service door/black curtain. wasn’t the table I asked for but okay we’re sat. The server Jamal I believe was his name, or Kawami, took a long time. Took a long time to get cocktails, my drink was extremely strong. I asked for a side of cranberry juice atleast 4 times & had to wait over 30 minutes. Came back with a shot glass with cranberry juice after I asked for a half a cup because it was insanely strong. Weird it took so long for a side of juice that wasn’t even a half a cup. A quarter of a cup. Please leave a bottle of water at the table. I don’t know how many times I asked for a refill & those refills took a long time. I tried to ask another server for water but she ran away before I could even get her attention. Service just really bogged down the experience. I came for a birthday dinner & felt like I was dismissed & wasn’t even acknowledged for my birthday when it was asked in the reservation. Food is AMAZING! Truly loved it, just wished service was up to par as the food. Also sneaking in 19% gratuity for a party of two? I would expect that on a party of 5+ but it was just my girlfriend and I.. lil sneaky there for sure.

    The Catfish was EXCELLENT with the Tarter Sauce (however, it was a little spicy and I do not care for Spicy). The Greens were Superb and the Macaroni & Cheese was Outstanding. The little Cornbread Bites could have kept coming and coming and coming - just SCRUMPTOUS! Crystal F. provided the BEST SERVICE. She was kind, personable, and very attentive! I would request her service every time I return. The downside - the multiple stairs, the slick floor (please be careful and take your time walking), and it was cold in there. Crystal asked for it to be turned down on our behalf but soon afterwards, it was right back up. It is a little pricy so go prepared but you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

    Some of the best soul food we have ever had! The catfish, fried chicken, collard greens - even the sweet tea reminded me of living in the South growing up -- but even better. And the service was warm and gracious. Highly recommended!

    9/10 only because we did not receive napkins. The waitress provided excellent service. The food was excellent with a comforting atmosphere.

    The staff was very helpful in accommodating our party, and the food was on point. The owner came over and checked on us several times to make sure our needs were being met. Overall it was a very good experience.
