Went for Valentine's Day for 6 people and everything was fantastic. The food was so tasty, I highly recommend the cornbread, salmon, Peri Peri wings, and watermelon cheesecake. Everyone was so attentive and that made the experience more complete. Add this to your restaurant rotation!

Parking: The lot directly across charges $30 where paid street parking is around $8. I would recommend the street parking even if you have to walk a little.

Visited during the weekend of 02/10/2025 for brunch. The restuarant atmosphere was cozy, yet a cultural experience. The service was a shinning example of how to treat it guest. The serving staff were all pleasant, knowledgeable of the menu and knew how to modify for people in the party with food sensitivities (Gastritis).
The food was some of the best soul food/African inspired cuisine I've ever had.
The hibiscus ginger mocktail. Great non alcoholic drink....
