The food can be improved a bit, and I do think it can use more workers hired to speed up things on a busy day, but outside of that I definitely do love going to this spot. Honestly, I like the grown and sexy vibe that it is going for and the people who go to places like this are very mature. I like places where older crowds go because they know how to have a great time, unlike the young people who want to be rowdy, loud, and stand around all day looking at their phones doing nothing.

I visited this location in the past & the dinner was pretty good. I did a $35 Sunday brunch & after that visit I'm not sure if I want to go back. Its over priced & everything was dry because it was over cooked. I recommend that you go look at the buffet food before you decide to buy.

We had a party of more than 20 guests. We were there to celebrate his 65th birthday. The restaurant was very welcoming and the hostess greeting helped warmed the atmosphere.
Reservations were made in advance for 20 people however upon arrival there was only seating for 16 people. There was an extended wait for several chairs to be brought to the dining room. It wasn’t until we were leaving that we saw several chairs in the other room that already had chair covers on them. Still don’t understand why there was at least a 20 minute wait.
When I was finally seated I was told that for $50.00 I could order the buffet and have bottomless mimosas, so that was my choice. My first mistake was I didn’t inquire what brand of Champagne would be used for the mimosas . It wasn’t until I received the opened bottle of Andre’ (cheap) Champagne that I learned the brand. That brand would cost less than $8.00 to the average consumer, yet this establishment charge $25.00. The business could have offered a better brand and still made a profit with the $25.00 charge. Kobel is an inexpensive brand that doesn’t cause headaches when consumed. I understand the markup however, to swindle your customers out of more than $15.00 is outrageous.
The service was mediocre due to our server being the only person working the 20+ guest. It didn’t help matters when the kitchen staff wasn’t able to keep up with the non-buffet diners. There was at least a 45 minute wait for a breakfast plate.
I had the buffet w/bottomless mimosas, I was very pleased with the menu offered on the buffet. My favorite from the buffet was the cheese grits and I topped them w/sautéed shrimp. The fish offered on the buffet was overcooked however it did have good flavor.
The live entertainment with the band and singers helped to enhance my experience with this establishment. I got to see and hear Rev. T.L. Barrett and his children perform at the restaurant. That added a special touch to my dining experience.
Upon receiving my bill I noticed I was over charged an additional $5.00. This was due to being charged separately for that cheap A$$ bottle of Andre’ Champagne. Once I informed my server she presented it to her manager and it was removed. My problem is I should not have to scrutinize my bill to learn that I was being over charged $5.00.
I know it may sound minimal however, if 100 patrons were over charged $5.00 that would lead to an extra $500.00 in the business pocket, unfair. This is the reason for less than 5 stars
I am all for patronizing Black owned businesses however when things like this happens it gives me second thoughts on ever visiting the establishment again.
I pray this message will be seen and read by management and owners of this establishment and they recognize and correct the issues stated in my comments.
Parking: I was able to park in the alley along side the building. However, there was a lot of rain water I had to avoid.

Experience would have been much better if they had more than one waitress. To the waitress (Ashley) benefit she did a great job considering being overwhelmed. We went to see TracI Ross and the show was very good. We were seated at least 20 minutes before we received any water yet someone seated after us received water immediately. I ordered the catfish, shrimp and grits and the meal was quite tasty. It was advertised as being served with cornbread which I did not receive until asking for it. The cornbread I received appeared old and undercooked. I requested another piece which was also undercooked, by the time I received a fresh, fully done piece of cornbread I no longer wanted it because I wanted to eat it with my food. I also ordered a drink but never received it. Lastly, the atmosphere rating would be higher if the location did not possess a sewer odor that is quite unpleasant.

Went to the location for an event. It was a nice atmosphere. There was also a out door patio. Unfortunately, the temperature dropped, and it rained, so we were unable to go out on the patio.
Parking: There may have been a parking lot but I found street parking in front of the place when I arrived.
Don’t ever buy anything from here the drinks are a shot of a quarter for 13$ they put ice in it to make it look like u have a lot and the food is so so so

The food is good, not very hot, but good. I had to request garnishment and they brought out just gravy. Good DJ. The service is always slow and they are usually out of a main dish like shrimp or salmon. Their bottomless IS NOT BOTTOM LESS! Two people one bottle and only two refills if you buy individually. Do not go here looking for Bottomless. Ascione Bistro in Hyde Park $18 bottomless!
