I came here for a social event with some other professionals. The drinks were good. Our waitress (Tam or Tan) was GREAT! I was really excited to learn that this place was open because I used to come to the spot back when it was a different restaurant. The people with me were from all over the metro area but I live in the school district, and thought this might be a good place to have future gatherings and meetings. The food was nice and there is only 1 reason I’m giving 3 stars.We were on the rooftop having a great convo, having ordered a LOT of food and drinks. The manager comes up with an empty bottle of some sort or liquor waving it in the air like a mad woman and starts screaming to the effect of, “Do not bring alcohol in here! We serve alcohol and it’s disrespectful!” Then she stormed off. Lol!This was a group of high achieving black people, having intelligent conversation, who had drinks from the bar on their tables. The age range was 35-55. It was ridiculous! Also, there were some white patrons downstairs. I wonder if she (a black woman) screamed and delivered the same aggressive monologue to them or if she assumed that because we were black people, that we would bring a bottle of liquor into a restaurant.The Parkview cluster is extremely diverse but it appears that the majority of support for this place is coming from black people. However, it also appears that last night, our patronage is not appreciated. The location is in the shopping center where I do my grocery shopping, where I workout, and where I get my nails done. Perfect location for team sports gatherings, PTA parties, employee celebrations, etc. Unfortunately, things got very strange and I wouldn’t want to invite any group in here.Lastly, in the restroom, I guess they ran out of soap. Instead of putting a new bottle out, someone filled it with water.Update: The owner decided to respond (see below). The other patrons were sitting outside but rather than take responsibility for her lack of emotional intelligence last night, she gave a feeble attempt at a clap back. It’s sad and resembles something like being on the verge of a psychotic break. You expect people to support your foolishness just because they’re the same race?
Let me start by saying Tam is excellent! She’s an asset to this business. My husband and I came in on a Friday night for the first time. The bartender was also great. Appetizer and food was very good. Music was playing when we came in but a little while later a DJ took it to the next level, then the live band! We couldn’t leave! Thanks to the owner stopping by, just an enjoyable evening.
The owner is very rude to patrons who post honest reviews online. Instead of getting upset and clapping back , consider taking the feedback to improve your business. I won 't be dining here.
My colleagues and I came in here to wind down at the end of the week, and the owner came over yelling false claims that we brought an empty bottle of gin into her establishment. Instead of considering one of her employees or another patron put the bottle in the trash, she immediately blamed a group of professional black people, many with doctorates, and tried to berate us. It's a shame the type of treatment we get when trying to support certain black businesses. Don't bother with this one. Just check out the other reviews.
The food is EXCELLENT, the ambiance is wonderful, and the live band is supreme!!! Y’all need to come support this beautiful establishment. The customer service is wonderful.... come let my girl Tam serve you. She is sooo professional and so are the other servers!
