   This is really just an upscale bar and not a real sit down restaurant. My sisters and I took my mom here for a late Mother’s Day celebration thinking it would be a classy dining experience especially because a $20 per person deposit was required. We were torn between this and Dōgon but knew my mom would like this menu better. The crazy part is, they both had the same price point so my expectation was they would both have the same vibe and experience. - The table right behind us was smoking hookah and had a “professional” camera man taking photos the majority of the night. Idk if it was for Flavorture or if was for the ladies at the table. - Reservation was at 6:30 and the whole dining experience lasted until 9:30. Not because we were having a grand time, but because the service was that slow! It took 45 mins for vegan egg rolls. - My sister and I both ordered the Steak & Frites and the waiter told us “we only have one order of steak and frites available” like this was McDonald’s with the broken ice cream machine. So I let my sister have it and it came out cold. She ordered it medium but because it was cold, she sent it back knowing there was on one steak so they clearly popped it in the microwave which overcooked it and the waiter still took too long to bring it back so it was STILL COLD. - The place was basically full and it had about 35 guests in it. It is THAT small. Or at least the side they had us on. There’s another dining room area that they are currently using for storage. - The music was loud but the GM was louder. He was literally screaming across the bar “everyone yell Flavorture”. - The food was delicious but I would never come here nor recommend this place ever again. If you are looking for a cute Instagramable bar with delicious food, chilled afrobeats with a little more of a lounge experience and you’re in no rush nor are you starving; this is your place. But if you’re expecting fine dining….move around! This isn’t it.

   Food was excellent. We tried a few of the appetizers(eggrolls, cornbread, oysters), and the lamb chops were cooked to perfection. I really came to taste the oysters and they did not disappoint. The waiter and entire staff were really nice and quick. This was my first time dining here and we will definitely be back!

   Ask for Mo! He made our experience worth the trip from Philly!

   The food was phenomenal, per usual! We had a lovely dining experience. The lamb chops were seared to med rare perfection and the flavor was bold, garlicky, with a hint of sweetness. So delicious! The chargrilled oysters are a fav! So much flavor! The ribeye was huge and cooked well with delicious flavor. The Vegan jerk tacos, the buffalo shrimp, the branzino… the branzino was whole and buttery pieces of flavor melted in our mouths. The ambiance was smooth jazz on a Friday night. We will forever come back!

   We celebrated my wife’s birthday and had a great experience. We showed up about 20 minutes before our reservation time and they seated us right away. Our server, Dante, was knowledgeable of the menu and attentive. The manager, Michael, checked in on us several times throughout the evening. For appetizers we had the house bread (cornbread with rosemary honey butter) and Chesapeake Oysters (baked with crab meat on top). Both were really good. For entrees I had the prime rib and my wife had the crab fried rice. The steak was really big and seasoned and cooked perfectly. The crab fried rice was really good too! Desserts were cheesecake that they gave us for her birthday and we also bought the peach cobbler bread pudding. AMAZING! Overall it was a great experience and we’ll be back,

   Thank you so much for celebrating your wife’s birthday with us! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience—from being seated early, to Dante’s attentive service, to Michael checking in throughout the night. It sounds like you enjoyed a little bit of everything, and we’re so glad the food and the hospitality hit the mark. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to the team—especially Dante and Michael. Looking forward to welcoming you both back for another amazing evening (and maybe a second round of that peach cobbler bread pudding)!

   I have to be honest. This wasn’t my first time visiting here. I love the food so much, this is my third time. My first time in a week night. The vibe was there. They had karaoke going on singing 90s jams. I give them 5 stars bc they’re a new business and I thoroughly enjoy their food. However, they were very understaffed that night. Our reservation was for 7:45, we arrived at 7:21, we were sat right away. However, it took at least 45 minutes to be given water. We also weren’t able to place our order for food until 9pm. This is not ok. The owner was super nice and very accommodating about rectifying the neglect. They took $100 off our bill, gave us some extra cornbread, and made sure our server was one of the best they offer. (Mo) Outside of the extremely long wait to eat (with very hungry children), I have zero complaints about this establishment! This was a unique situation where I can tell they were very overwhelmed. But I have to give my honest review. I’m sure they’ll work out the kinks as they get more established and become more prepared for how amazing their restaurant is.

    Food came out very slowly and a bit over cooked. It was karaoke night and the noise level was extremely high. Not our best experience at this restaurant.

We understand how disappointing it can be when the food isn’t quite right and the atmosphere is louder than anticipated—especially when you’ve come expecting our usual standard. Your experience matters to us, and we’d love the opportunity to make it right on your next visit. Please don’t hesitate to reach out ahead of time so we can ensure a more comfortable and enjoyable evening for you.
