You people knocked it out of the park with my very large take out order. Zero issues, including with the special dietary needs, each and every bag was labeled with the name assigned to the order. Crew absolutely loved the food as well. Thank you!

My friends and I went to patronize the bar before hitting the town. The bartender recognized my friends beauty AFTER he found out our other girlfriend was married.
instead of trying to engage her in conversation he spent time demanding a kiss. NO they do not know each other. Yes he did tell our other friend she could only get a BLK man IF she goes to AFRICA. I was appalled, disgusted and confused by him, his mannerisms most of all his audacity.

Great atmosphere with urban setting
