   If you’re going off that viral tiktok video, i’ mm here to tell you to not waste your time. First thing is that parking is horrible. The restaurant is located in a shopping plaza and they are charging to park. Valet is NOT complimentary. We did get seated fairly quickly, but we did have reservations. The inside is pretty loud due to the live band which was expected. We sat outside which was very nice until they turned the speakers on … The only thing that was good were the drinks. The drinks did take about 30-45 mins to come out though. To start off dinner, we ordered the spinach dip which was cold. it was served with some bread that was just a really big crouton, 3/10. The Rasta pasta is not rasta at all. they forget our garlic bread and tried to substitute it with the same crouton bread. the vegetables in the pasta were hard as hell!!!!!!! the pasta was also dry. 3.7/10. the hookah was very nice tho!! prices weren’t terrible. gratuity is already added so be aware. i would personally only go for drinks and hookah.

   The experience was really good the food was good the drinks were amazing only thing I wish I knew is that even if you have 2 guests for a reservation they will add gratuity $20 worth. That is the negative side I would point out.

   There’s a$25 valet parking for a restaurant in an atypical shopping center. There should be notice that the vibe completely changes after a certain time, from a jazzy live music LOUNGE to a loud music clubby bar scene with a DJ. The food was the only saving grace, it was delicious though I am disappointed in not being asked my temperature preference for my salmon. Our waiter seemed to be overwhelmed and spent a lot of time distributing bottle service than ensuring we were having a good experience. Our drinks and food took longer than expected, and both arrived in a jagged order (not everyone was served their food and drinks at the same time). Halfway through finishing my drink, I noticed a bug in it. The music made it incredibly difficult to enjoy a group dinner and unfortunately our table, despite being booked well in advance, was at the front door directly underneath the largest ac vent system I’ve ever seen. It was extremely cold through the beginning of our dinner, we were able to get someone to turn it down, though that required a member of our party having to leave her seat so that an employee can stand in her chair and turn it off. They’d come back to ask if they could turn it back on, but we declined any further interruption to our dinner. Despite wanting to get my money’s worth for the robbery valet, the loud music being played in such a quaint space made it difficult to stick around past entrees. We notified the restaurant in advance that the reservation was for a birthday celebration but apparently if you don’t pay for bottle service, there’s not even an offer for a dessert menu. So even if we wanted to stay, ordering more drinks and food was too difficult to stay any longer.

   The servers and staff were not dressed modestly for a dinner setting. “Black” is not an attire standard, and staff should be more modestly clothed. Unless the goal is for the dining area to be feel like a notch under hooters and one above the strip club, it would serve management well to reconsider uniform guidelines to more appropriately reflect the desired patron.

    Went in Sunday and had no clue they had a buffet. It was delicious and reasonably priced. The music was on point too.
