    The food was bomb, but it took us a long time to be seated. It’s also a very small building so our seats were right by the door in an area with heavy foot traffic. People were bumping into one another and our table so not very relaxing. Also very loud. Server was slow but very nice. Again, the food was great so I would still go back.

    This restaurant is beautiful and quaint. Our server Linda was very personable and professional. The food was 10/10! One of the items we ordered was not available and they gave us the substitution option at half price! Very accommodating and love the overhead music playing. This was by far the best food I have tasted from a soul food restaurant! Not too salty or too sweet, nothing was overcooked or undercooked. Pure perfection! Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.
