The space is open, beautiful and comfortable. The service is excellent. The food is good. I definitely have some favorites. The... cornbread is different and really tasty. The macaroni and cheese is great. The cheeseburger was magnificent and the cocktailsare delicious. Read more

Aisha is never on site so the food coming out is not tasted before it goes out. If you go thinking they're going to live up to... the Curry name and greatness where the foods concerned, please don't. Aisha is not Steph!!! We spent around 300 and somethingfor three people. The food was bland at best. The production on some of it was okay but didn't make up for the taste. It was anexperience just not a good one for how much was spent. But if you like good drinks their bar is excellent and the cornbread wassuperb. If you're thinking about visiting this establishment I would advise you be going for the bar and cornbread. Oh can'tforget, the water was pretty good too. ???????????????????????????????? Read more

Yo listen, I wanted to love this so badly…but it fell flat. Dope place overall. Meat was super dry and honestly not that... good. The other dishes just left you wanting so much more in flavour. Cornbread on the other hand was ????. Read more

Very nice place. Greeters we’re good. Got seated right away. All the food was delicious. The corn bread comes with a... glaze/sauce over it. If you do not like sauces ask for it in the side. The wine and coffee were both really good. The reason Igave 4 stars was 5 out of the 6 received our food at the same time. I had to ask twice where my grandsons plate was. They alsoforgot to bring out one of the desserts. I will go back Read more

Food really good. Hostess/Waitstaff could use improvements. When we got to the location, the doors were locked. I pulled the... door handles and the hostess stood there just looking at us. After she saw that we weren't going anywhere, she finally comes tothe door to ask if we are looking for International Smoke and if we had reservations. This infuriated me. A place this niceshould make you feel welcome and inviting as you're coming for the experience. As we finished our meal, the busboy comes toclean the table as we are still sitting there. He wipes the table down, and wipes the food into my partner's lap instead ofcatching it in his hand or pushing it on the floor to sweep up. It felt almost as if he was rushing us to leave by the way hewas in such a hurry to clean and clear our table. Our waiter asked if we wanted additional drinks or dessert and we both saidno. He leaves our table and address his other guests. We wait 20 minutes before my partner says, "Can we have the check please?"He responds with I thought you may want to order drinks or something else. We again tell him no and then wait for him to bringthe check. When you are paying premium prices for a premium experience, you expect to get that and nothing less. Hopefully thiswas just a one off situation and the next time we choose to support, these issues will be corrected. Read more

Whoa! Love this place. We had a large group and they were very accommodating. We had plenty of space to remain distant from... other dinners (Y’know. Coronavirus and all). They patiently validated our vaccination cards (we were grateful for that!) andthen took us to our table, which was nicely set up for our large party. The food — bao, cornbread, mac and cheese, Chileansea bass, fried rice, ribs, ribs, and ribs — the food, oh, my!! It was mouthwatering to the sight and delicious to the taste.We were all very happy with our food orders. The staff were amazing! They were all working hard to make sure we had a greattime. Thank you to all who took care of us that evening. We appreciate each of you! Cheers! Read more

Great eats with wonderful interior design. Dark ambiance, with a bright bar with a few screens playing sports. Great for a date... night or other intimate gatherings. The food did not disappoint either, impressed even. I had the pork bao buns as a starterand wanted to immediately order another plate. Came with 2. I then had the Red Snapper main dish, which was both decadent anddelicious. The Duck French fries were a good side, not stand out but solid. Had two orders of the Old Fashion so you can tell Iwas a fan. Wide variety of options when it comes to drinks, from aged liquors and wines to cocktails. Read more
