The place felt more like a nightclub than a restaurant. The description talks about a dress code and I would say that 75% of the people there completely disregarded it. The food was OK, but not great except for the Black Eyed Peas. The Black Eyed Peas were delicious.

The owner should really check one of the young girls working the hostess desk. She has a fly mouth and was talking rude to the guest. Made the initial impression horrible.
