    This new location is a really nice vibe for date, girls night or just hang at the bar. The food well done someone is connected with the ancestors with all the flavor that's in the food.

    Nice chill environment. The food is absolutely delicious and you really do get your moneys worth. If you go, you definitely have to try the taste of soul With the oxtails. The oxtails rice and gravy ,yams , greens and I added a side of spinach were so delicious. Also I had a strawberry orange juice to drink as well really really good. My overall experience was nice. I would give taste a 10 out of 10 and I would definitely be back. Highly recommended if you go here, you will not be disappointed.

    Some side items were very salty. This needs to be addressed in the kitchen because it wasn't like this the last time I visited. The lamb chops needs a sauce that comes with it because it was a bit hard to swallow by itself. Everything else my party ordered was good. Our server was great and drinks were good as well.

    Great ambience. Music was great but at a level that I could still have a conversation. Food was marvelous and the service was amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

    For my first time, it was an experience and the food was amazing. The happy hour special was great. Lamp chops are the best menu item hands down. The servers and staff are exceptional and professional.
