   The ambiance was very nice and the music was good (not too loud or too soft). The staff was pleasant and helpful. The food was disappointing. The menu lacked options for appetizers and entrees. We ordered jerk chicken... and that's all it was... just the chicken! For almost $40. We didn't have any options for sides or a la carte options. We came for the ambiance but mostly the food, and we were sadly disappointed in our experience. The priced were high for the meal and small plate options that we ordered.

   Food is amazing! It’s upscale and elevated but all the flavors are on point. Drinks are amazing! Silken shadow is my favorite

   From start to finish, our experience here was phenomenal. We started off at the bar and had their most popular cocktail “Truffle & Smoke”. Let me tell you something right now… that thang truffle’d AND SMOKED! Amazing truffle washed bourbon cocktail with a few other ingredients that the bartender perfected into it. But my personal favorite was the “Emerald Smoke”! That one, you have to taste for yourself. From the hospitality, to the bar service, to the vibes, to the esthetics, the music selections, the extremely plush seating and then topping it off with a few complimentary dishes and words from the Head and sous chef really held a great impression on me. Especially since this was for my birthday dinner! 10000/10 recommend. I WILL RETURN!

   Went there for a Mother’s Day dinner. My server Chris 🎉✍🏾 was amazing. He was very accommodating and definitely brought very good vibes for the evening. My only gripe is as a upscale restaurant they didn’t require upscale attire. As well as so many gnats within the restaurant.

   Food was good. The menu and the pics on the website are not the same. We had to send back four glasses of wine because it was bad. The hostess did not seem organized as we had reservations, it was not crowded and she took some time to get us a table. There were fruit flies bothering my girlfriend when we were eating. I would not go back.

   Food was excellent. Lead time in between plates was quite long- almost an hour from appetizers to entree.

    I wanted to like the place. We sat with no water or waiter for 20 minutes. Then the waiter did not apologize for the wait. You have to do the tasting menu. Obligatory to do apparently. I love well seasoned food but this was salty and greasy. The rice. No. The scallops? They gave two, sliced up and lots of an off brand old bay. Som ppl who got seated got up and left bc of the delayed service. We gotta do better ppl. The only plus was cute decor and a DJ who was playing some good music. Maybe this should just be a night club spot? Cause the food is subpar and the service is as poor.
