Due to brunch running over, and the staff needed to re-group, the restaurant opened a little later than their re-open time. Our waitress was Phoenix was really sweet. Drinks and appetizers took a long time to arrive. I would like to eventually return and see how things are during normal circumstances.

Everything average but the cost. Two diners, almost $100.. tipped GENEROUSLY to support black-owned. Grateful for the experience but probably won't return. Suggest ithers to try for themselves. Their experience may be different. ??‍♀️
