Reviews
Unfortunately, the service—especially from the bar—has been a major letdown. While the waitstaff is very friendly and clearly puts drink orders in quickly, the wait for beverages is consistently and inexplicably slow, even when the restaurant is not busy. The main issue appears to be at the bar, where the bartender in charge is often distracted by chatting and socializing with staff and friends at the bar, causing table drink orders to be forgotten or severely delayed. There also seems to be little to no supervision on the floor. It’s frustrating because everything else about this place has so much potential. With better management and focus at the bar, this could easily be a top-notch spot.
Update January 31st, 2026
My frustration comes from how my reservations have been handled. Three times in less than a year, reservations I made were canceled, leaving me unable to dine as planned.
On two occasions, the restaurant called in advance to cancel because of private events, which I appreciated, but since it has happened twice, it seems to be a recurring issue. Most recently, my reservation was confirmed, yet when I arrived the restaurant was closed with a “Temporarily Closed” sign on the door, and I later even received a message asking about a dining experience I never had.
I hope they improve how reservations are managed and better communicate closures or private events so customers can plan with confidence.
I also received two containers of coleslaw for free, which was a nice surprise!
Thank you, Josh, for the excellent customer service.
The location by itself is green, serene, and beautiful i.e. a nice backdrop for photos. The music selection and the food was very befitting to the theme of the event.
My friend had the jerk wings which were absolutely delicious (I should have definitely gotten these). I got the mango habenera wings and another flavor, which wasn’t as tasty. The sauce, by itself, for each flavor was fairly good, however, beyond the sauce of the wings (the meat), needed a little bit more marinating/seasoning for the wings to be a complete hit, in my opinion.
As it pertained to service, our waiter was very delayed. Often times, we had to get another waiter to get her, which was a tad annoying.
Our first time here. We sat outside for the nice views. Beware when it gets dark, there is not a lot of light if you get one of the tables near the perimeter.
The food was pretty good. The chefs were thoughtful especially since we took a pizza to go; he came out to ask us about how we wanted our shrimp on it (whole or chopped).
We had a great experience. Our server was also honest and a joy to know.
We are sad that they ran out of the strawberry shortcake
We will come again.
Inside and outside dining options, the brunch food was awesome, everything was fresh and there was always a chef available to make your omelet and answer any questions.
Will definitely return for another brunch experience. No pictures too busy dining
