What a gem of a place. I stumbled across this wonderful restaurant while searching for a really good fish sandwich…not some sort of pieced together, cardboard sold at fast food places. I was beyond thrilled to find them still open last evening when I realized online, they were about to close. My husband and I rushed over and not only did the co-owner fix everything fresh, the ambiance of the cozy, eatery was impressive. The music is relaxing, the decor artistic, the owners warm and welcoming, but most of all…the environment is spotless. Before retiring, I taught Food Safety and Sanitation, so I am very selective where I eat. The owners here have a right to be proud of the way they maintain their business. Now, about the food. My husband and I both opted for their “Crispy Fish Sandwich and

My husband and I grabbed dinner from here tonight. I got the chicken cutlet burger and he got the inkosi BLT sandwich, both with sweet potato friends. Really solid, delicious meal, we both agreed, and we consider ourselves to be people who take food quality really seriously. The chicken cutlet was crispy with the right amount of crunch and was real moist chicken meat. The BLT had a good amount of bacon in it and the veggies in both sandwiches were fresh. The sweet potato fries were absolutely delicious and crunchy. The owners were there taking our order and were very friendly. Food was ready in 15 mins, very fast for food made to order.

The owners are so accommodating and inviting. The food is fresh, everything is made to order and delicious. We were a party of 7 we ordered chicken tenders and fries for my granddaughters they loved them. We also order the ginger chicken wrap, my brother really enjoyed it and said the strap was very tasty. My mother and I got the salmon burger with the special sauce which is so delicious, nice portion of salmon and the bread is so soft and tasty. My son got the delicious juicy burger, it was huge and my daughter in law got the crunchy, juicy fish sandwich. All orders come with sweet potato fries or seasoned fries both are great choices. I ordered and drank the green smoothie, their lemonade is great and the uptown is great too. Check it out today. I love the vibe and the jazz makes i
