Amazing food, I thought the service was a little lacking, the waiter was super nice, I think it was maybe just a bit understaffed so he couldn't be as attentive as would be ideal, but loved everything else, will definitely be coming back!

First time there, went with my wife and two adult sons. We arrived earlier than our reservation time, but the staff were very gracious about accommodating us. The food was fantastic. The fried chicken and biscuits are not to be missed. The sliders are likewise remarkable. The cocktails are expertly mixed; flavorful, complex, and quite strong. Overall, really great restaurant. Highly recommend.

They serve African American Food but there was an intolerant "No Blacks Allowed" vibe. My date and I were uncomfortable and the food was only ok at best. Not going back there ever.

We recently brunched/dined here and while the food and the drinks were delicious and the service (for the most part) was attentive and friendly, the atmosphere left something to be desired. Our table was situated near a large, loud group, which made it difficult to hear one another over their noise and the music playing in the background. If you’re looking for great food, this is definitely worth a visit, but I’d recommend asking for a quieter spot if you’re hoping for easy conversation.

Since we are seniors, we'd prefer the noise level be turned down on our next visit, or a quieter table in another part of the restaurant. Too loud!!!!!
