Decided to go out for my sister's birthday. We had a party of 20 ( with no reservation ). We were nervous because they had one server. We had the BEST time ever. The Server made us feel at home and the food was amazing. We enjoyed the old school music and the very private setting. Thank you for an amazing night with our family.
Alhamdulillah, first time I visited this establishment. My husband and I attended an Iftar (Muslim gathering after we break our fast) here with other Muslim brothers & sisters. This establishment hosted an Iftar for the Muslims. It was very delicious & tasty. Atmosphere & Customer Service was AWESOME.

My daughters and I arrived after they stopped seating people and the owner saw us at the door and said come in. Not only did he allow the four to order and eat inside of the restaurant. The food was breathtakingly good, we had the fried chicken, yams, Macaroni and cheese stringbeans and cabbage. Some of the best Soul Food around. It was Good Good!!! Thank you so much for your hospitality and delicious food

Black owned establishment that I was more than happy to support. Unfortunately I was disappointed from the time I walked in. Smelled of burnt grease. Slow service, extremely slow. It was not crowded. Besides my party there two other Tables. One waitress, while sweet it was obvious that they don't have any type of order when it's comes To the order of how the tables should be checked on. 45 mins to get our drinks. A hour for a Caesar salad they was suppose to be an appetizer since they had no appetizers being sold that night. Took a hour for our food to come, 4 guest and the food didn't come out at the same Time. BYOB which is nice. Took so long for our food to arrive, shortly after digging in the lights came on letting us know they were closing. They also charge a 20% auto gratuity to your party. Which Is normally fine, but with how the service is there I sound not have tipped. 3/5 is my rating. Food is a 7/10. Mac and cheese was a hard no for me

The service was horrible. Our party was the only party in the restaurant and it took 10 minutes for the waitress to bring to containers of water and cups and placed them on one table. So we had to get up or pass the containers and cups. I believe a snail moved quicker than she did. I could understand if it wasn't. My nephew asked for hit sauce and never received it. I had turkey wings , rice with a tablespoon of gravy and black eyed peas. You would think you couldn't go wrong with this selection. WRONG, poorly seasoned even when I requested extra gravy and poured over the tasteless wings.
Food was decent but the service is horrible. Not because it’s not pleasant, but because it’s slow and not attentive. Out of a number of signature items on the Saturday menu but offered me items on the Friday menu. The worst part is that there was no one in the restaurant. <10 people total and the wait to get food, service, and the bill was well over 90 minutes (7pm reservation). The food was worth giving them another shot but it depends on how long it takes to get my check to pay and leave. :(

Me and friend of mine came here before we went to a open mic. The food portions were huge, so be prepared to take something home to go. Warning.: this restaurant is BYOB. We were out of towners, and we had not known that many of the restaurants in Philadelphia are also like this, so we had to order the virgin drinks, which would have been much better with alcohol, but they were still delicious.The location of the restaurant was inside of a high-rise apartment building at the bottom. So it was a little weird getting to the actual parking lot because it feels like you're riding through an apartment complex. Just keep riding around until you see it. The restaurant is huge. It looks as though it was a venue space with someone could throw themselves a dinner party or reception dinner. The staff was pleasant, and very helpful with the menu because somethings are only available on certain days. The menu I posted was a Friday special.The garlic, butter mussels were heavily tripped in the sauce. They were a bit overdone, but I didn't expect anything less. This was not particularly a seafood restaurant.Salmon and shrimp Alfredo pasta was the star of the show. I didn't order it originally but before we left, I had to order it to go because it was so good after taking some of my friends. The Caesar salad was delicious too. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice spot to chill with their own alcohol and wanting to eat on some good good food. I gave it four stars the BYOB should be advertised a little bit more blatantly on their website or Facebook page.

Ordered online and usually their food is excellent but I decided to try out the lobster bisque and when I tasted it, it was sour and spoiled! Dont know how they still allowed that to get sent out but i wonder if i would have had a different experience if i dined in? Based on some of the other reviews I guess not.

Let me start this review by saying this is an aesthetically pleasing restaurant with a nice looking menu. But after the terrible dining experience we had recently, I would not recommend this establishment to my dogs or worst enemies.The server was polite however we sat for a full hour as the server brought one water at a time for a party of 11. And we had to ask what other drinks they had to offer.Unprofessional Management not willing to take accountability for their own staffs lack of knowledge & not being on the same page. Owner was not accommodating and not willing to hear what we were even asking for. He was very arrogant and not willing to listen to our request and ou bill was over 500 dollars.FoodWe asked for salad to be prepared at the beginning of our service which was 3pm. We literally didn't get that for 1 hour after we had requested It. Management said that bread was working for the table again at 3pm and we had to ask for bread 5 times before the server brought it to our table. We still did not receive the bread until after our soup and salad had already been eaten.Food took over an hour to come out.By the time the food came, we had to get boxes to take home due to the 2 hrs we had already been there. We were ready to leave.All food did not come out at the same time and many of us ordered the same thing with the limited menu options for the day. The birthday girl didn't get her food until 35 minutes after everyone else because the server forgot to put her order in.After reading previous reviews it seems that this place has not fixed many of their issues. The wait time of food, slow service and unprofessional Management.

Just so happen my reservations for another restaurant fell through & I accidentally came across this restaurant. The ambience was so welcoming & the food ?? omg the food was soo good with a xtra side of “dam the portions are ?”, & the bonus its black owned.Parking: Its in the towers complex so the parking is scarce, but well worth it
