    We tried the lemon drop in peach, strawberry & blueberry. The drink was just syrup extremely sweet. I then ordered a mimosa flight thinking it would be better since our first drinks were sweet but the flight had no flavor at all. We had wings, buffalo egg rolls & pasta. The chicken pasta was delicious. The eggs rolls & wings ok. Not something i would order again. Music 10/10 the DJ was great ace worked hard to get ppl out there seats. It was a mixed age crowd. I plan to visit again in the day time and try them out again. This visit wasn’t all bad but could have been better

    This was my first time at this establishment.. overall the place was nice. Food was pretty good. Music in the early part of Happy Hour was cool, R&B but the service from our waitress was HORRIBLE! We were seated at least 15 mins or more before we had to find a waitress to locate our waitress! She didn’t explain the Happy Hour menu and prices, which if the flyer says $5 Lamb Chop, and only 1 Lamb Chop was ordered, why did she come back with 4 explaining they were 4 for $20 but it wasn’t on the menu as a max had to be purchased! She then took FOREVER to come to the table to see if anything else was needed or if anyone else wanted to order anything! The rest of my party was there by 6:30pm and couldn’t order anything from Happy Hour because we couldn’t FIND her! The music was at a volume that you could actually have a conversation with the person next to you, then it seem like around 6:30-6:45 it went up and you couldn’t hear NOTHING! By this time I was ready to close out my tab and head on out! Then as we paid out our tab (one of my guest) she had SEVERAL DRINKS (that she didn’t order)on her tab along with Happy Hour drinks ($5) when she only ordered 2.. for a total of $85! When it was corrected, plus tax and a gratuity she didn’t DESERVE, her total was $61.21. My guest gave her $101.21 which she should have brought back $40.. she brought back $39 and tried to give her a hand full of change and said “we don’t take change”.. WHAT?? This young lady needs to be trained as a server PROPERLY!! I understand tips, but NOT when you’re not doing the job. Other waitresses were hitting their tables back to back with food and drinks without having to be found and we had to look for ours! Two of my guest ordered Hookah that burned out and when replaced it still wasn’t pulling much. Although I wanted to get out for my birthday to a different spot, I would give this experience 4/10.

    I definitely enjoyed myself at This location last Friday . I was celebrating my birthday with my friends and everyone enjoyed themselves and the food . The greeting we received was lovely from the ladies at the front who works there . We all enjoyed our first time being at this place overall . The vibes and the food was amazing . The drinks were also great ! And the bathroom was BEAUTIFUL. I loved the scenery and the pretty infamous wall with the sign on it . 10/10 overall and I definitely plan to return .

    My reservation was at 8 pm to which i arrived promptly and we were sat maybe 5 minutes later and was told that someone would be with us. Two tables were sat after us and they were greeted and served water. The young ladies looked at us in the eyes multiple times and never made contact with us. I’m used to maybe 10-15 minutes until a waiter gets to us but a whole hour and nobody came to our table? That’s absurd. My bf got up and scoped the room to see if anyone else was being served and they were so he asked one of the girls was anyone assigned to our table and she said she didn’t know so we left and went somewhere else. This will be our first and last time coming here and it was his birthday!

    Service was good. The food was ok greens had a very strong vinger taste. Sweet Potato Caserole was not what I ordered and it was not good. Corn ok not that sweet. Dressing was better than everything else. It's was not my best soulfood.
