★★★★★ 5.0 Rashida R · Dec 2025

Love! Love! Love this restaurant/martini bar. My favorite martini is the coconut. The food is delicious. The bartenders are wonderful. Austin, Taj and Blanco are the best. The bar area is most definitely ‘the social scene’. Enjoy your time there.

Sharif was absolutely amazing. He crafted a beautiful drink and made sure I was well taken care of the entire time. He was so sweet, attentive, and clearly takes pride in what he does. My sangria was delicious, perfectly balanced and refreshing. Excellent service and an even better experience thanks to Sharif.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Shakira Foxx · Nov 2025

I have visited this restaurant twice; very nice atmosphere. The first time, I ordered the snapper and it was so disappointing that I had to send it back ( they were accommodating regarding that request) It was mushy and lacked flavor. I switched to the shrimp meal instead ( wasn’t bad at all). They removed the snapper from the bill, but they still charged me for the sides, even though the sides were taken away unfinished when they removed the plate. Even with that experience, my partner and I decided to give them another chance because they are Black owned. This time, I ordered the catfish. It was okay, but not great. I chose the mac and cheese again because it was delicious during my first visit, but within just three weeks the quality changed drastically and the flavor was ridiculously b

Timiqua was wonderful and very friendly. She took care of us! The food was so good. I got the red snapper. It was so filling and worth every penny. The drinks were amazing. The service was also amazing. The bread was awesome. The mimosa was so good.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Debra Bramwell · Jan 2026

I came to this restaurant to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Sadly, we had to wait a long time before we had an opportunity to appetizers and we couldn’t even get a bread basket until we ordered food. The service was Very Slow and once again, it took way too long before our food was served. I read reviews about this type of service, hoping it would be different for us, unfortunately it was not. Lastly some of the food I ate had no flavor. I am not a person to add salt to my food but I did on the crab/corn cakes and the collard greens.
