Loved the ambiance here! Walked in and loved that they had a live Dj he had me singing from the time I walked in! Service was top tier!! Tony was amazing! He made great recommendations, checked on us just enough and just made sure we had a great time. Great photo opportunities if that's your thing. Now here's why you came....the FOOD!!! Heatwave harvest (drink): 8/10 loved the presentation of this drink. The flavors were on point! It wasn't too sweet and was refreshing. I ended up having two but the only thing I'd change is adding more rum and less ice. Bourbon bbq shrimp: 8.5/10 alright presentation, but great flavor in the shrimp. The black eyed pea "relish" was good and wish there was a little more of it. The flavors went together nicely. Chicken wings (buffalo): 7.5/10 nothing special about the wings. They were a nice size and weren't overly saucy. Seafood artichoke dip: 7.5/10 really enjoyed the flavors in this dip! Wish it came out hotter and the cheese was melted. I also would recommend they serve this dip worth some type of pita bread or pita chip. The potato chips that come with the dip aren't the best combo. Shrimp and grits: 8/10 flavor wise this was pretty good. They aren't stingy with the shrimp and they were a nice size. I was missing the Gouda in the grits and could've used another scoop in the bowl. Eggs: 6/10 they weren't cooked as requested - soft, and were too stiff for my liking. The eggs looked seasoned with maybe pepper flakes. I did have to add salt and pepper. Catfish and grilled shrimp: 7.5/10 the shrimp and French fries were delicious. While the catfish was seasoned nicely, and had a nice crispy outer. it was slightly overcooked. Overall we enjoyed the food and looking forward to coming back for dinner service.

This was a pleasant surprise! After trying their brunch a while back, I wasn't expecting much--but dinner here is a whole different experience and way better than brunch. The dinner menu is where they really shine, with elevated dishes and flavors that are on point. The atmosphere at night is perfect for the grown and sexy crowd--great vibes, laid-back music, and a chill yet upscale feel. The food was fantastic; every dish was fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly crafted with care. The drink selection was also impressive--whether you're in the mood for wine, a cocktail, or something a little stronger, they've got you covered. For example, black eye pea hummus who would have ever thought to do that? If you're planning a visit, definitely go for dinner. It's the perfect spot for a date night, catching up with friends, or just enjoying a night out. I'll definitely be back for more!

First of all I was told that it's BLACK OWNED!! So let's first acknowledge that !!! Secondly, it gives night club vibes with the waitresses looking like bottle girls , with the tight body suits, and the handsome men to walking around for what ? Idk!! But I am thankful lol. It was giving very sexy yet classy at the same time . A lot of Eye candy for sure .. The restaurant is absolutely GORGEOUS, and looked to me to be themed in different areas of the restaurant. Each area decorated so nicely/ fancy but different . I had a party of 10 for my daughter's sweet 16 , and they did so well accommodating and being so attentive. I can't remember the name of our server , but she was a beautiful, respectful , tatted up, funny, yet rough around the edges a little .. she was definitely giving pretty tomboy vibes lol. She Had a short hair cut and facial piercings, had she been a little bit older I probably would have been trying to be more than her customer lol. Anyways , her customer service was amazing, very approachable/relatable and humorous. She laughed , made jokes and even pulled out my seat so that I could sit down ,, just so polite !!! It was a Saturday night , so they were definitely busy . And as they definitely should have been. It was Definitely a vibe !!! The r&b Music playing in the background, the bar was full of people and there were a couple of nice picture props including inside the lady's bathroom that many took advantage of including my party. The menu is something to discuss for real .. myself and my friend ordered a drink that came with cotton candy . The drink was slightly strong and sweet , it wasn't bad at all, but would I order again? Probably not. But let's get into the food !! They have so many great options that I simply couldn't choose . Initially, the cook/ person delivering the food seemed to be a little overwhelmed, which we understood completely considering the volume of business. Initially when presenting some of our food he /they seemed a little agitated. We had a large party , so I didn't react to the slight frustration. However , when they delivered the food and leaned that " I" had ordered two large entrees ( the oxtail meal AND the lamb chops meals ) for just myself , it definitely lightened the mood and we all laughed about my being greedy . Food was amazing !! Everything i ordered, I enjoyed !! This restaurant is definitely great for ladies night , Birthday parties, anniversary parties, and even just going solo and sitting at the bar !! I /we definitely enjoyed ourselves. This establishment is definitely a vibe!! I highly recommend this place and pray for its success!!!
