This place is beautiful the atmosphere is really nice. I do wish the music was a tad lower for fine dining however it was really nicely decorated. The people were nice and accommodating. The only issue I had was the food. This place has a really nice selection of food to choose from however my food was barely room temperature while it came out. The sides we pretty much cold on both of our meals. Seems like they’re possibly just sat to the side in a warmer until ordered. For the price point of this place it was expected that my food would be fresh and cooked to order. The kitchen is visible when walking alongside if the building and from what I witness that’s not the case. That was disappointing at over 40.00 a meal my expectations were not met. In addition to that every single meal came out on a plate that was extremely chipped and broken in someway so I was off put on the presentation. It has really great potential however I feel like corners are being cut and not in the right way to preserve quality.

Whew! Not worth it! Came from Richmond to celebrate my cousin for her birthday. We were an early reservation around 6pm on a Thursday. The host greeted us, asked if we had a reservation, clicked through the tablet for some moments and took us to our table. Her mood wasn’t very inviting nor did she seem happy to be there. For early evening it was very dark which was weird considering there wasn’t a lounge vibe at this point.Our server was Tee J who was personable, friendly and kind. Unfortunately, they did not set her up for success with us. Honestly, the service is extremely slow here because the kitchen and bar does not have a sense of urgency for sending your items out nor were they adequately prepared. Our server came back multiple times to tell us about items that weren’t available causing us to have to constantly change our order. It would have been considerate for her to know at the beginning of her shift for us to have been notified upon greeting (that way we could decide to proceed or not). The food arrived to the table in multiple parts causing some to eat before others, partial parts of meals to be present (mains no sides/vice versus) and ultimately our food turning cold. We did not get to eat at the same time which was very off putting since we were here to dine together. We drove 90+ miles to dine… together.Now let’s get into this food. I had high expectations from the descriptions, menu prices and reviews on social media. The food is not worth the price you pay. Honestly, it’s mid! They could really give it a little more pride and TLC in what they do from a culinary perspective. The plate presentation was sloppy. Everyone cannot make Mac and cheese nor salmon nor Brussels sprouts nor egg rolls. Basically everything I ate was just okay. Nothing I’d brag about or come back to eat again.Oh! A major pet peeve… They served us plastic utensils. Your entrees are $30+ and plastic is appropriate? No. Elevated prices should yield an elevated experience for your guests at all times. We should not be eating on plastic cutlery, chipped plates and in the dark. I work in the hospitality industry and I just expect a certain level of care/pride in what is given when dining out. This was my first and last time coming here. Would not recommend to anyone.P.S. Loved our server though she deserves so much better in a work environment. I honestly felt sorry for her. Thank you for helping us with our pictures so we had memories to keep with family. Keep your spirits up! <3

Security was very professional and respectful, I really appreciated that. It is good to have customer service before you even enter the establishment. Our server was pleasant, and it didn't take long for our food to come out (very fresh and hot). The spinach was excellent, and the crab egg rolls were delicious. Salmon was really good, pasta wasn't what I expected, it was just fair. Drinks were on point.

First time here...wait for food was very long..once food came out potatoes were cold, waffle was over cooked...food was just basic nothing to brag about. Once the bill came it was a 18%gratuity added on my bill without me knowing...I paid it but will not be returning. Why are black owned establishment food be basic but they add on a gratuity??

overall experience was good. however our plates were chipped, the wait was long for appetizers to come out even though there wasn't a lot of customers. the waiter was excellent and receptive to our requests. portions size was good and chicken was crispy. i think the menu can be tweaked alittle so that the majority of entrees dont have that sweet taste or sweet sauces. would love to see a nice rib eye on the menu and some imagination to the appetizers. The restaurant is clean and comfortable with a cool vibe.

I celebrated my birthday here this past weekend and everything about my experience here was wonderful. The food was amazing. The service was even better. I was not aware that I had to have reservations. They accommodated my party of five without hesitation. I would definitely recommend the crab cakes. I will definitely be returning to try a few more items on the menu. Thank you for making my birthday celebration just a little better.
