The service was great, the food was great! The wait was long because there were a lot of people ahead of us but they’re very quick to get you in once a table is ready. Worth the wait!! The only thing you need to worry about is parking but there’s neighborhood streets with parking.

This place is well worth the wait, everything I ate here was a 10 out of 10! While you wait you get to listen to some RnB and once they seat you the food comes out fast. Josh did a great job recommending me food and letting me know what are the best options even though every options tasted like …

I went for breakfast last week. This was my first time here. I see people post their food on Instagram. I walked in and was seated immediately. They greet you at the door with a smile. The server was nice. The food was good and hot. I like the way they coated their fish. French toast was good. Will be …
