Service was great, kitchen was a little backed up and they were out of at least 3 dishes. However Music and vibe were great, a little noisy though. Overall I would recommend if you’re going with a group of friends. Not really a dinner date place for 2.

Shaun was a great server! Drinks were good, food was mediocre, I’m not sure if the menu was limited but we ordered about everything on it and nothing was really memorable for me. They did my steak the way I liked but it was burnt on the out side and had little flavor. Also bringing the music down just a bit so you’re not screaming to have a conversation. Had fun nice experience

Acoustics are crazy! Hard to hold a conversation. The band and the other musicians were excellent. Food was yummy. Pretty space. Chairs are a bit uncomfortable. Yet overall, it was a great experience. I plan to return soon but will try a different area of the restaurant.

This was our first visit but we’ll definitely be back soon. The food and drinks were outstanding, and the ambiance was very cool and inviting, with the best music playlist and a diverse clientele. Our server Farah was the best as well. Highly recommend!

I absolutely loved the ambiance and vibe at this place! Great for girls night out or date night. I went Friday for R&B Night and the playlist was fire. Shoutout to the DJ. The food was very hot upon arrival to the table but I wasn’t a fan of the Crab Fried Rice only because I didn’t realize it was crispy which was off putting. I couldn’t tell if it was the crispy rice or shells... I also ordered the Parmesan Potatoes which I enjoyed more than the rice dish. For dessert I had the Chiffon (Apple Crisp Sundae) which the overall flavor was good but the apples were still hard (undercooked). I would definitely come back to try the other dishes. Lastly, the drinks were delicious but took forever to get to us. They basically came with the food. Hopefully next time I’ll enjoy the food more but the vibe is there!
