Overall the experience was great. I was a bit disappointed that, two days prior to Thanksgiving, we were told they didn’t have the ingredients for the drink we ordered, there were no collard greens (should be a staple) and the desserts were limited. The server we had was spectacular and definitely represented your brand well. The place looked beautiful but I’d note the music was quite loud and for the price point I expected more of a jazz type feel as opposed to really loud hiphop. Overall it was a good experience and we will visit again.
