If you’re black and want to be starred down by a bunch of nonblack people don’t come here. The food is subpar at best and the ambiance was not a comfortable feeling. We also watched our food sit in the window for 20 minutes and it was cold when we got it.

We were greeted by the host who took awhile to find our reservation. Once she found it, she was very polite and sat us outside. There were three other tables with guest outside. We sat only to have a server walk by us four different times and not get acknowledged. She probably wasn’t our server but she could’ve at least let somebody know we were out there. We sat for 15 minutes completely ignored until we finally decided to get up walk out the side gate and go to a different restaurant. It was very disappointing. I am in the restaurant industry and have been for over 30 years and I am in management. Nobody acknowledged us. It was a sad date night experience.

We love going to this restaurant and Valentine’s Day did not disappoint. The Valentines prefix menu was a great value, and all of it was excellent. Our server was outgoing and attentive.

Our service was great. We were waited on by a trainee and her trainer and they were both wonderful. Most of the food was very good. We were very surprised to see that we were charged $3.95 for club soda with lime. Most restaurants don’t charge for club soda as it’s viewed as carbonated water. $8 of the bill was just for 2 club sodas. The fried chicken mac n cheese was dry but everything else was good.
