Love supporting this black owned business. The Lenny Green monthly night is fun, drawing a suffocating crowd. Management still need to work on bar service & efficiencies, when expecting large crowds.
- Zyber VixJune 21, 2014Despite the bad reviews, surprisingly the food was delicious! Cod fish fritters are spiceliciously hot. Salmon slightly over cooked but still good. Chicken & waffles on point. Come on an empty stomach
Very griwn and sexy....with Amazing decor, spacious layout, bi level with restaurant downstairs and sports bar upstairs...great space for your next event! Brooklyn is bringing sexy back!
Nation's Restaurant NewsDecember 6, 2013Pastry chef Anna Markow has been making this mash-up of two holiday favorites for the past few years as part of cookie and treat boxes she sends at Christmas. Read more
Tamara DotsonJanuary 18, 2016I went for a Silent Party (headphones only). Two djs battled playing all different music. It was so fun !!
ReseAugust 31, 2013This was a beautiful establishment and I am very proud that it is in Brooklyn. The decor and live band was top notch. However, the service needs improvement as we waited for like 30 mins for apps.
Jenn AllenNovember 18, 2015Codfish fritters were delish and so we're the chicken and waffles. The ambiance is trendy and modern. Love the decor
Beautiful venue. Good food, good service, bar is just opening up this week. Will be better with time. Lots of familiar faces.- Akilah FeaginsOctober 29, 2013Try the pineapple jerk wings and jerk lamb chops. Live band was great. Lounge upstairs nice too.
Carolyn McLaurenMay 19, 2014The lounge is off the hook!!! We had bottle service with food platter..yummy... I was dancing all night!- The live band did their thing and the food and drinks were good too. I had a great time
- Akilah FeaginsNovember 7, 2013Thursday night live reggae band was good! Food was good! save room for dessert
Kevin ClaysonSeptember 29, 2013The Chicken and Waffles are incredible, so are the lollipop wings...WOW!!
Imani DOctober 6, 2013Food was okay, I've had better chicken and waffles. Music and decor was the selling point of my evening. The band was really great. Bar messed up my friends drink order but sorted it out right away.
Marlies JohnsonMay 26, 2014For the most part had a good time. However drinks cost too much & I waited too long for a drink. The DJ switches up the songs entirely too much. Doesnt let a song play more than a few seconds.....
Stephanie TingueApril 3, 2014It was a great atmosphere! Literally loved everything about this place.- ReseAugust 31, 2013This will be my new spot for sure. Congrats on your opening and I wish you the best!
Bubblez SinclairJanuary 27, 2015Food was atrocious. Came on a friday for dinner with a few people. My wings were dried out, shrimp dish wasnt cooked all the way through, codfish fritters were also extremely dry. Waitress was nice
KW.July 2, 2015Great food and decent service tainted by rude management. Don't disrespect your customers or the entertainment.
- NellDecember 28, 2013The shrimp is bland. The veggie rice with chinese sausage is rather good. However, the wait staff needs to be more attentive when patrons first enter. We waited 8mins before anyone came to our booth.
shawn daviesNovember 18, 2013Nice looking place .. 15 or so televisions but $8 for a Guinness ...$12 for a Hennessey that's mostly ice! Is too much .... They'll make more money if they charge less!!
Charlie RussellOctober 6, 2013The band was ridiculously loud. Even yelling We could barely hear each other or the staff. The food wasn't seasoned well and arrived cold & the waitress couldn't tell the difference bet pork and lamb
Lamarr SDecember 15, 2013Please do not come here for Brunch. Its supposed to be an hour of unlimited (watered down mimosas). The hour starts before you sit down and then theres only 1 bartender = 2 drinks in 1 hour #fail
SuJanuary 5, 2014Menu is minimal in selection & overpriced (6 appetizers & 6 entrees). Place was dead @7pm on Saturday. They charge a mandatory gratuity for bills over $100!
Avery HeadleyMarch 3, 2014Horrible with a Capital "H". My car came back with a dent with valet, food took over an hour, nobody adhered to the dress code, and received my alcoholic beverages in a 10 oz plastic cup...
AyannaAugust 30, 2013Food good. Bar service not so much. Hopefully that will improve. Will come again
- Kerry HJuly 27, 2014I was not impressed at this place... While the wait service was polite, half of our party received cold food. The place wasn't packed so I expected better.

"Amazing soul food, big portions for sides, nice people. Drunken turkey and mac/cheese are delicious. The cobbler is wonderful also."
What's Good Here 
"Servers were nice but service wasn’t great. Food was delayed in coming. Some people’s food didn’t come & we had to keep asking for the missing items. The artichoke dip was really good."
