    I’ve been here several times before this experience and was always pleased. Unfortunately, this last time was not the same. One of my friends ordered a burger well done and it came out medium. They made her another one and it had a hair mixed into the patty and the bun. The staff was very apologetic, removed it from our bill, and gave us free dessert.

    Had amazing talk with the manager. The food was so unique and the mock tails were even more Flavorful than I thought they would be. I was really impressed with how the cook on the steak turned out and the collard greens are to die for 10 out of 10 amazing quality and unique flavors.

    The music should be slightly louder and they should choose a better music selection. It’s to slow

    Fantastic restaurant! Third time eating there in 1 year. Didn't disappoint. The cocktails are imaginative and the food is great. The prices are moderate which is an added bonus. The consistency between the 3 visits was unchanged which is unusual in restaurants these days.
