The burger itself was good but not great.

The burger was delicious. I appreciated the large amount of fries, but the fries were too crispy and hard. read more The burger was delicious. I appreciated the large amount of fries, but the fries were too crispy and hard.

The ambience and the vibe are always very nice and I love the fact that they have a DJ that keeps the music spinning. It definitely is busy in the evening so service may be a little slower than what is expected. I usually have catfish which is pretty good. I decided to try the mac and cheese annnnd let’s just say the presentation is the best thing. It was creamy and hot, temperature wise, but the seasoning was definitely not there. The only seasoning that you could taste was garlic so that definitely needs adjustment (unless they happen to have had a back up chef that night who may not be familiar with how to prepare this dish). The rooftop is also very nice and it’s definitely great that they have heaters because it definitely can be very cool later in the evening and at night. Either way, seating inside on the ground level or on the rooftop level is a win win because you definitely can still hear the music and enjoy the scenery. The prices are very reasonable but for those who are unaware, if you bring your own cake from outside they will charge you a $15 cake cutting fee. All in all, I would definitely recommend this restaurant because ambience is a key factor along with the food and service. There is plenty of street parking which is free of charge usually after 6 PM.

The plantains were good, but the amount of sauce you get didn’t meet the requirements for the amount of plantains you get. I got the Henny Espresso drink which was pretty solid, but was not impressed overall by the cocktail offerings. Price per person: $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

Poorly handled! No apologies, just here your seats! Extremely crowded which is expected at a bar but the layout of the tables just made it even worse. Food was appalling! The buns on the burgers tasted like they were 7days old, dry and just heated so it can be crispy . The plantains was a just a blob of sticky goo. The fries were so dry they resembled toothpicks. The chicken wings was also dry can even describe the disappointment, how can a place mess up something as simple as fries and chicken wings??? The only thing decent was the drinks, was pretty strong. Service was acceptable, it was so busy and packed, the servers did what they can. Toilets was kept decently clean but of course to get there through the unwilling to move crowd was another issue. Parking is hard to find which is expected but the double parking just outside was ridiculous. Once again understand it 's a bar but the music was overly loud and very limited food choices. They also slapping some credit card fee on the bill??? Not coming back here. So disappointing. Wasted hundreds of dollars here. Price per person: $100+ Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1 Recommended dishes: Fried Plantains, Fried Brussel Sprouts, Fries, Burger, Mac Cheese, Chicken Sandwich, Burger Fries
