    It was a lil smaller than anticipated on the main level but they have an upstairs. The food was tasty and such a large variety including African dishes that I want to try. Great restaurant for the neighborhood 👌 I will return.

    They have a whole menu of African food that isn't advertised on their online menu. It was amazing! So delicious. The lighting is a little bright and the there is a wall with a giant TV. We ate upstairs and there were a couple other table and it was quiet. Overall it was great! I highly recommend.

    Had a great time and wonderful meal. My wife and I had the bottomless mimosa which made the experience even better. I actually had two meal. The waffle with some eggs and bacon hit the spot. Plus I also had to try the salmon and grits (I had not eaten dinner the night before) which was absolutely perfect. My wife had chicken and waffles which flew off her plate. Overall a great meal and lovely setting. We will be back.

    The food was great and they are staffed with the nicest people. I recommend the chicken wings. They are different than any other wings out there and are delicious. The steak for 2 was good. Prices are high for the neighborhood but hopefully they survive.

    What a great addition to the neighborhood! The service was excellent and the food was delicious! Friends and I sampled quite a bit of the menu from appetizers to salads and main courses. Lamb rack got two thumbs up. Don't miss the crab cakes. They are legit! We'll be back soon!
