!!!BE CAREFUL PARKING OR CAR WILL BE TOWED!!!
Beware, the parking for the restaurant is a sliver behind the building and every where else has tow away signs, there are scammers sitting in parking lots instructing you to park, once you’re inside they tow your car and charge $240 to get it back. UBER or don’t chance coming here. Food is really good though…i took mine to go and ate it next day. i got the lamb chops and mashed potatoes 10/10.
The music was good. The food was good. The drinks was amazing. The DJ was rocking. The hookah was on point. I love everything about it. Good customer service the waiters the owner came and was everything ok with the food and drinks

Live music! I had no idea I was walking into an Art show and a concert. I really don’t want to say much, if you miss out on Trufusion Band before they drop an album and it’s going to be a few to see them live. Just know I warned you. Beautiful voice and talented musicians. Great night out with the wife. She put together a great day to celebrate my Birthday a few days early. Not to forget the food…it was emotional. Love served on a plate.

Thursday night vibe. Live music and food were great. Server and Bartender were slow. We waited over 20 minutes for drinks two separate times and it was not crowded at all. Server said the bartenders were new which I understood however this did affect mine and the Birthday people experience that I was celebrating with. Will definitely be back though.

Going for dinner is great but everything we wanted to order was out. What we did get was good but not exactly what we wanted. We were having a surprise birthday dinner so made the best of it. Customer service is amazing and DJ was great. We are going to drive over again for brunch to catch those dishes we wanted.
Parking: There is maybe 20 spots and being surrounded by one way streets, had it not been a surprise birthday dinner, I would have regretted driving an hour to be stressed about parking and driving around to find a spot close enough.

Before our trap karaoke night in Tampa, my wife wanted to try a new restaurant, so we chose this one. The setting was pleasant, the ambiance was cool (I love the art work on the walls), but the service was awful. Our server, who was wearing glasses, was friendly and enthusiastic. Although she gave us a great first impression, she let us down by keeping us waiting for nearly an hour on our food and not filling up our drinks.
We enjoyed the appetizers, which included egg rolls and wings. My wife had the stuff salmon and I ordered the surf and turf, which was a joke for the price. They literally handed me the appetizer lamb lollipops with three pieces shrimp on grits. Then attempted to charge $5 per glass for fountain lemonade refills. When I voiced my displeasure with the food and drink fees, the management responded in a contemptuous manner. Overall, based on the food and service alone, I wouldn't return. This is the most unprofessional and unmanaged restaurant I have ever encountered.

My experience here unfortunately, left me extremely disappointed. I initially made a reservation for a party of nine for a birthday dinner, but when I called to add four more people, I was informed there would be a non-refundable $100 fee just for the addition. After expressing my frustration and the young lady going back and forth with someone on the other end and placing me on hold multiple times they eventually waived the fee as a one-time courtesy. BUT still kept the initial $50 deposit, which was supposed to go toward my bill but did NOT.
To make matters worse, I wanted to bring a cake for the celebration, but the restaurant required me to show proof of purchase (a receipt) before allowing it. This unnecessary and overly rigid policy added stress to what should have been a joyful occasion. Note: They also charge a $20 cutting fee. I kindly advised the waitress that I would cut it myself to avoid yet another charge.
Needless to say, I will never consider this place for another birthday party or special occasion. What should have been a celebration turned into a frustrating and disappointing experience.
