The restaurant was beautiful. The DJ was on point with the music, the ambience and cleanliness of the establishment and Jasmine was our server and was an excellent addition to our experience. She was polite, courteous, and accurate. The food was amazing. We tried to order everything, but what we did order was impeccable. Kudos to all the staff, the chef(s) and Jasmine!

I ordered the wholes red snapper which was great however the hibachi rice was more so teriyaki instead of hibachi , the macaroni and cheese wasn’t really flavorful or prepared to my liking as well as the sweet potatoes they came out cold. I did get 2 new sides (okra & greens) that tasted better. Will try again another time.

This was my second time going, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. The staff is very friendly and professional. It took a little time to get our food, but it came out hot as if the cook had just prepared it and it was worth the wait.

I initially planned to cancel my reservation. The business really needs to evaluate and clearly communicate their busy times. I made two reservations for 6:00 PM on a Saturday, then noticed the site said I needed to call to confirm whether both reservations could be seated together. When I called, I was told no. I decided to keep the reservation anyway, and when I called again a half hour before arrival, I was told they were not busy and could accommodate my request. That inconsistency could have cost them roughly $1,200 in just a couple of hours simply because they weren’t willing to be flexible earlier. We did enjoy our overall experience.

The food was wonderful, especially the lamb chops and the Cajun pasta with chicken. The music was excellent, but a little too loud. The wine list could also be more extensive, but our cocktails were good.

The food is always TOP TIER!! However the service lacks. Not in a horrible way but a few tweaks and some customer service training would make this place a staple. I will continue to support I want to see the place rise above the rest and be THAT black owned business you have to support!!
