We’ve been here many times, usually as a dinner before going across the street to the Uptown Theater. The food has mostly been good but the service, while always very polite, is just too slow and inattentive. This last visit the wait staff was also bartending which made matters worse. We ordered a starter and the mains came out first, so we canceled the starter. I hope this restaurant succeeds because the good is good (often great) but the service needs to be faster and more attentive. Regarding the food: my dish (salmon awaze tibs) was great but my wife’s (house chicken) was bland and dry. First time either of us had food that wasn’t good or great.

The good was delicious! I had a Caribbean dish and my husband had Ethiopian. Highly recommend for an experience that will remind you of being on an island or on your favorite vacation. Loved every moment of it! We will be back again soon! Thank you to Eden for an amazing service, recommendations, and for making the experience such a fantastic one!
