I do not like the fact that I can't see my bill prior to paying. The last time I was there I was charged and paid one amount BUT when my bill was emailed to me It was $10 LESS than what I paid. There was no explanation on the receipt to say that the tip was already included AND I paid our waitress a very good tip on top of what I paid for my meal and drinks. Very disheartening. Other than that the customer service is superb and the atmosphere is awesome. The night we we attended there was a live band (Yours Truly) and they were great!

My friends and I dined here after work and had a fabulous time. The owner greeted us and provided background about her restaurant journey. She along with staff gave us a heads up on upcoming events and we look forward to coming back again and again. The drinks were great and on some nights there are drink specials. The food was superb, must try the lamb chops, bacon dip, and cabbage - the hot lemon pepper catfish is an absolute must-have.

My experience at this restaurant was very unacceptable. The ambiance and excitement of this being a new restaurant peaked my families interest to celebrate my mother’s birthday. We were disappointed with the service and food quality and will not be returning. The tea looked like water and tasted like sugar water. The Arnold Palmer appeared like lemonade. Everyone who ordered tea/AP changed to a fountain drink. Our food came out separately. It was a slow night with many empty tables. BUT the time between each of the plates arriving to the table took an unacceptable amount of time. Although some ordered the same food the quality and taste was not the same across the table. Ex. Some yams were ok, some were burnt, and some tasted of butter. We were never given refills and a member of our party begin to refill our drinks. The server only thanked us for our patience when collecting our payments and inquiring about gratuity. My party was highly disappointed and left still hungry. We wasted our money and time. This restaurant has potential but is not ready to be open.
