    First time I made an RSVP they took 25 minutes to seat me. We tried to order some things but they said they were out due to the time. I felt like I did what I was suppose to by making an RSVP and it wasn’t my fault it took an additional 25 minutes for me to get seated. Second time I went, I ordered my food at 2:20pm and it did not come out until 3:40. They close at 4pm on Sundays. The food did not look good at all. Therefore I sent it back. Seems to be an issue everytime I go.

    Service was great. We had lamb chops mashed potatoes and asparagus which was soooooooo good. Lemon pepper wings were a bit too salty. Drinks were on point. Music was great. The waitress was so great at explaining everything to us. I really appreciate her honesty about the hookahs lol. I will definitely go back.

    Waited about 45 minutes for our scheduled reservation. However, the excellent service made up for it. We received complimentary beverages while we waited. Once we were seated, our drinks and food were out within 15 minutes. Food was excellent.

    The brunch menu has about five items and the food is very basic. I had the lamb chops which were just ok, the eggs didn’t look appetizing so i didn’t eat those at all. The potatoes were good but it was a child portion. The music and ambiance were good! The hookah was also good! Also they charge $20 to park or there’s free street parking. I will try it again on a regular night to try something else from the menu.

    Everything was great until I found out that the reservation is only an hour and a half for you to eat and then you must get up for the next person. The waitress told us that we could go to the bar but we had to keep a tab open in order to sit at the bar.

    I made a reservation here to celebrate my boyfriends' birthday. The nachos were good. The salmon bites were ok. I thought they would be smaller. The drinks were really good. Don't say the dress code will be strictly enforced, then we see people in there in hoodies, athletic shoes, crocs, baseball caps, and beanies. If I'm expected to dress casual chic elegant then I expect my food to be on a nice plate and not make me feel like I'm at a sports bar.
