I’ve been coming here about 2 years now, but last night was really the last time I come here. When I got there the security guard(he refused to give me his name) and his partner(she also refused to give me her name) wouldn’t let us in because one of our friends didn’t have ID just only a picture. Fine no problem we left and went to get it, when we came back they decided now they wanted to charge us to get in. Listen I’ve been coming here for some time and if there’s an event I’ll pay to get in but if you’re going to charge me , make sure you’re charging everyone don’t just pick and choose. Because he let people in front of us in without paying and when we asked him he said he felt like it. When he realizes we caught on to his little scheme he FaceTimed some random person laughing in our faces talking about we playing. That’s so unprofessional so we asked to speak to management several times and were DENIED, when he asked for their names we were denied that also. Ghetto! I’m going to post the video I recorded all over my TikTok and I’ll be posting it on @rawreviews as soon as I get all the footage because that’s unacceptable. We were cursed out because we asked to speak to the manager. The other security guard took off her jacket wanting to fight us because we took a picture of the front of the establishment and threatened to leave a review. This all took place on Sunday around 10pm. Believe all the bad reviews and take your money elsewhere definitely not it. It was dry in there anyways 0/10

We were a group of about 8 that came early on a Friday night. I guess they are not used to patrons so early because a wet left or seems that's when people stayed coming in. Anyway it was just one server so I can't be too harsh. He was talking orders, working the bar and trying to do the music until the DJ came lol. The tables were sticky and we asked to wipe them down. Easy fix. Since he was solo things took time. Because of the slow service they did give us a carafe of rum punch which was nice and strong. The food was okay. We ordered the plate to share and a few entrees. My friend got the snapper which was a good size and looked really good but not as flavorful as you would think. Overall the vibe is there maybe we would have to come later when the rest of the staff comes.

Honest feedback.

- The venue itself is very nice. Multiple spaces within for different vibes.

- Far too many Teeny boppers are able to get in. I really don't wanna be partying around individuals that may not even be 18. Especially the kind that have zero etiquette. We were all young once wanting to party but at least we had respect for adults.

- The bar system is strange, inconsistent and extremely slow. What's the point of having a 20 foot long bar with about 3 bartenders if you're gonna have everyone line up at the end of the bar and serve one person at a time? Either have your bartenders be more attentive and/or get another register so you can serve multiple people at once.

We visited the restaurant at 11pm on a Monday night.

There were guys sitting smoking and drinking in the area before you enter the restaurant.

No one greeted us, we sat ourself by the entrance.
The staff was not pleasant and worked in a very nonchalant way, almost like they were patrons and not staff.

Our food came out quickly, and was very good,
but as we were enjoying our meal, this guy hops on the host station, and lights a big spliff, no regard for us what so ever.
The same guy must have worked there, because I saw him go behind the bar several times, it wasn't even 12am.

Overall, the food and music was a 10, but service, staff mannerism and respect is very poor.

This was my first time at this spot. It is very small but it is a cool vibe. I had the rum punch and it was very strong and tasteful. I just don't like the fact that after 11 P.M they charge $20 to get in as if it is a club. Deff don't feel like it is worth it

I been her a few times once inside vibes are great. However the security girl La the security lady she tries to over charge just like she was taking money at the Jada Kingdom show on the side and letting people in she acts like the venue/events are hers. She is a deplorable woman anywhere I see her at I will walk the other way. Since when does
Security have that right ?
