Nice vibe Great Dj Food was good I had grilled turkey chops, yams and greens. Amber was our server. She was very pleasant
Had a 50th Birthday Party. I reserved a table, this process was stress free Amber was extremely helpful and accommodating. This was my first time at the establishment. My guests and I had a wonderful time, we all had a very nice night around a mature crowd. The music selection was great, food delicious, and the bartenders made good drinks. Everyone in the place had a ball and came to dance and have a good time.Definitely will go back again!!
GREAT atmosphere, good food with decent pricing, and drinks were reasonably priced. Two floors; both have a DJ and dance floors. The servers were pretty busy, but the bar was more than happy to help with any needs.
This nightclub / restaurant is a hidden gem on the city’s eastside ! It’s black owned !!! The food is great, the drinks were reasonable , the music was a good mix for older and young people , and the vibes were unmatched . We visited for my boss’ birthday people definitely a good mixed mature crowd. I will be returning !!
Beautiful decor! Food was great! Servers were amazing but there were only 2 so we had to wait awhile to get our bill. DJ did his thang and had everyone on the dance floor all night... overall a great experience and FUN times!!!
My friend had a surprise birthday party. We had a good time. The drink was tasty. The food was good. Whole chicken wings, greens, & and black-eyed peas, sweet potatoes yams, & spaghetti.
I went on a Thursday for my bday. I ordered Turkey chops greens and spaghetti. The food was very good and the atmosphere was very laid back. I will definitely be going back.
We drove from Toledo, Ohio definitely worth the trip. Outstanding customer service and protection/security outside and inside the venue. The waitress we had Thursday was awesome. The bar for Detroit has been set by this amazing staff, one word best describes this venue, professional.
