The service is one of the worst overall experiences I've ever had. Bartender was extremely rude & didn't want to be there, along with other staff who made it seem like you're bothering them by trying to order a drink/food. Not to mention it's ridiculously over priced.

The service was slow. We needed to be ready to give the server our full order whenever we could catch them. The server wasn’t that friendly; he barely spoke to us and most asks seemed like he was doing us a favor - but gratuity is auto added. Most of the food had more sauce than sustenance. The udon noodles and lobster fried rice were both very sweet. It tasted like it was cooked in a teriyaki concentrate that wasn’t properly diluted. The rice was also crunchy. The Cajun pasta was overly rich and greasy, and had more cheese than pasta - we were getting sick at the table. We asked for ginger ale and it came out clear, as if the syrup needed to be changed, so we had to switch to ginger beer. The salad had so much dressing on it that there was a puddle of it at the bottom of the plate, you could scoop it with a spoon. The oysters had a heavy cream sauce on them, but not much ‘oyster juice’ which made them seem like they were prepped days ago, not prepared fresh that night. Wings were tiny and overcooked. The food was flavorful, but everything needed the sauce to be dialed back. Lastly, we were told they didn’t have any desserts that night. The reviews are so mixed, it seems like you have to go when the right person is cooking and we went on a bad night. It’s too pricey to be so inconsistent.

Not very impressed with this establishment. The security staff came off as unprofessional and overly aggressive. I was on the verge of being verbally confronted simply for sitting somewhere for not even five minutes. I had no problem moving when asked, but the tone and attitude from security were completely unnecessary and made me not want to return. Definitely room for improvement in how guests are treated.

Stopped in after the Lions game and had the most amazing espresso and blueberry martinis! The bartender was incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Definitely a great spot to unwind after a game.

The shady bar keep/ waiter need to be back in the hood... The man was taking shots on the clock at happy hour. I asked for Bourbon and got tequila. He said he was saving me some money. Do not refomm

The jerk wing appetizer did not taste like jerk at all. The wings were small and over cooked. The cajum chicken pasta was good but it was extremely greasy. The floors were slippery and the bathroom was not clean at all. The drinks were also not it.

Beautiful place and gets very busy for the food.
Charged 500 dollars for a booth and bottle , upstairs, we stayed til about 1 am . The club never really started popping .. maybe later but they never should have charged that amount of money for the time of night we went. There was literally nobody upstairs except for us and when we left it was only about 10 people in the lower level

Atmosphere was great, but the food and drinks missed the mark. Wings were lukewarm and overcooked, potato balls were under-seasoned and nearly cold, and my mango martini didn’t match the menu it suppose to have Patron idk what was in there and when I asked bartender said the menu was wrong.
