We came here for mother's day & it was a fabulous dinner experience. Wonderful service, they totally catered to us. Changed the... music for us & the owner May is just the sweetest! Started off with the coconut cloud & was super dreamy delicious. If youlike coconut get this drink! The house salad was tasty & refreshing with strawberries & walnuts, perfectly dressed. I orderedthe seared diver scallops, oh it was superb. The risotto was perfectly cooked & the scallops were very flavorful with a nicesear. The roasted vegetables were also lovely & cooked right! I will checking out the patio & hookah next time! Read more
We waited over half an hour to get our drinks order taken at the bar, there was only one bartender and they had her running... around like a chicken with their head cut off! Most of the bar area was not cleaned up from the previous guests and stayed thatway through the duration of our visit. Drinks were decently sized and pretty good! Also there was live music tonight whichhelped with the wait. Read more
Came into the restaurant is quaint, it was empty besides two other people. There is a inside dining and an outside dining. Our... waitress seemed a bit new because every time I ask a question she would say she would have to go check. I ordered a Long Islandiced tea top shelf it was just OK for me. Food arrives……… dry, dry, Sahara desert dry, you need water to swallow dry! Iordered the shrimp and chicken and the chicken was so dry I could barely get it down my throat my husband ordered the lamb thelamb was so dry! you needed water to get it down your throat I would not, would not, recommend this restaurant at all!! Ourwaitress wasn’t attentive AT ALL!!!! The owner of the restaurant came over and asked how things were when she saw us lookingaround ready to check out I advised her that the food was very dry she apologized and walked off. For the prices that theycharge here the food should be way better I would not again would not recommend this restaurant…but on a better note thedrinks were strong ???? oh for some reason NO ONE is at the host podium so when people come in and see the sign wait to beseated they are left hanging. The owner came back out before we were leaving and gave us a discount on our food advised us thatshe did talk to the cook and apologized profusely so I think that I will probably give this restaurant another chance but rightnow my review is what it is but I let the owner know that I appreciate what she did as far as the Discount and then coming backout to let us know that she did talk to the cook.

The roasted chicken vol-au-vents reminded me of a fancy chicken-n-dumplings. Sauce was very hearty. Yum! Spinach khatchapuri... was larger than I thought! Would be great as an appetizer to split between several people. A hair salty for me, but my fiancéLOVED it. My favorite was the Veggie Lumpia appetizer. It didn’t make it for a picture. Live band tonight, so be aware thatit’s not particularly quiet. The 3-piece jazz band was fabulous though. Beautiful. Full bar with several TVs, giving it afancy sports bar vibe. Very reasonably priced, we spent $45 for two people. Changing table in the ladies room, but not in theother two unisex restrooms. Read more
I was passing through the city and decided to try this spot out for a few bites. This restaurant is located in five Points.... The area reminds me so much of little five points in Atlanta, GA. When we walked up to the restaurant there was a man standingoutside offering free pizza samples. The pizza was ok, but I do think it would have tasted better fresh. I love the ambience ofthe restaurant. There is a faux tree like light fixture in the middle of the restaurant. The dinning chairs are acrylic. A popof Color was incorporated with the yellow bar seats. We ordered the calamari and truffle Parmesan fries. We had water to drink, and complimentary bread was offered to the table. The bread was amazing! It was soft on the inside with a slight crisp on theoutside. It was warm and seasoned nicely! The bread was a true winner. The calamari was my least favorite. It was chewy andover cooked. The fries were perfect, except for the fact that I did not taste truffle at all. These should be rebranded asParmesan garlic fries. Again, they taste great, just not like truffle. Overall I would give this place another try if I feeever in the city again. The service was A1, most of the food was good and I love the decor.
