The restaurant was full of small flies - very annoying. So as we ate, we had to swing off and swat the flies. This place must have a serious flies infestation. We went to this restaurant because the one in NOMA had no openings for noon lunch.

It was quite hot inside. The fans helped but not by much. Food was good. Lots of variety and was delivered with care. Not sure if it was the heat or the price that made me give it a 4 instead of 5. Didn't expect to spend $70 on lunch for 2 people.

Shrimp was badly over cooked in shrimp tacos. The spice level on chicken and waffles was overpowering. Refills on iced tea were not offered. Overall, the meal was a big disappointment.

Service was slow and indifferent. Once it arrived the food was fine. We would have ordered dessert but didn’t want to suffer through another long wait
