The food was so bad. One entree was good the rest was terrible. The chicken and waffles were burnt and waffles tasted like cardboard. The orange juice is watered down and looked almost like water with orange food coloring. We go to church around the corner and brought a group of 6 to try the restaurant and it was so disappointing. I couldn’t even eat my entree. My husbands eggs Benedict was boiled hard eggs w sauce on it and the shashuka was also boiled eggs. In shocked by the quality and how you could charge people for such poor food in a venue like this.

I had a reservation and my table wasn’t ready when I arrived. I was told five minutes and waited 25. Then I was sat in front of the door which felt spiteful. I say spiteful because the manager had an attitude when I inquired about my table. I watched her quickly clean a table for another party and when the table she ended up giving us was clear, she had no sense of urgency. Her response to me was there are other people waiting. My party and I were very upset with the service. The only thing that made the biggest difference on my trip would be the wait staff. They were all very kind, professional, smiled, and the server was very helpful with the menu. The food was so delicious also which also changed our perception of our experience. I’m not sure if they realized we were spending money, or genuinely wanted us to change our mind on the experience. Eating out is a luxury, especially fine dining.They employees made up for managements rudeness and I’m grateful for that.

Great food and service. The only downside was the noise. It was insanely loud. We could not hear ourselves most of the time. We both left with sore throats from shouting. The tables are packed too closely together. There’s barely any room to walk. As much as I enjoyed the food and the polite service, I may avoid on account of the noise. Also, hostesses were rather uptight and curt. Did not care for their attitudes. Even on the way out when we thanked them, no response. 🙃
