    Excellent dining experience all around. The service and the food are great, and the music and lighting make for a memorable experience.

    The food was excellent and oversized portions. The only drawback is the lack of beverages. They only offered water bottled or tapwater or you had the option to pay $20 a glass at the bar which I feel is unacceptable when you’re paying a lot of money for the cuisine sodas and juices should’ve been offered at a reasonable price

    We chose this place for my husbands birthday dinner. Everything was amazing. We had scallops, corn bread and deviled eggs for appetizers. The corn crème brûlée our my favorite dish of the night. We highly enjoyed the gumbo and the oxtails. We took desert home because we were stuffed but couldn’t resist trying that as well. We will definitely be back.

    Flavor of food on point. Peri peri chicken wings could have been crispier but they were delicious. Oxyails falling off the bone, superb but sweet potatoes a tad too sweet! Depth of flavor in lobster bisque was great, just wasn't a bisque, way too too thin, more like a broth. First time here, will probably try again or one of her other spots.

    I made a reservation for 7pm, arrived at the location to check in at 6:59pm and was not seated until 7:23pm. Amazing food, but would not recommend due to the poor service. (The bartender was extremely pleasant and helpful). This restaurant is available on Uber Eats, I would recommend ordering for delivery.

    Servers were a little rude , food was just okay , I ordered the oxtails over sweet potatoes purée , I have had better. Drinks were good however the server let my drink die (no longer cold) while sitting on the bar counter for 10 min while she had full convo with another server seated by the front door. I will not return due to the lack of professionalism.
