Awesome vibe. Amazing music. Iara was perfect with her service. They kept mimosas refilled. Drinks were strong and they were very attentive. The portions were huge and very well flavored. The chicken and waffles were made with thight meat but seasoned perfectly. Great spot to party and brunch which is perfect for me coming from Atlanta.

Visited two weeks ago to see what all the hype was about and they did not disappoint. The place was smaller than I thought but very comfortable. Food was on point and the music set the mood quite nicely. Waitress was hard working and attentive.

Wow! I came here to celebrate a friends birthday with a party of 10 and was extremely impressed by the support we received. Though we were running severely late, staff was super accommodating as was still able to sit our entire party. We did bring a cake in so we’re subject to a 25 Cake fee but they brought out the sparkler candles and were super careful cutting it to save the top design. Food was amazing as well. I ordered the lamb and though slightly salty, was super well cooked. You will be full pretty fast so don’t feel you need to load up on too many sides. Oxtail were delicious as well and a decent portion. Lastly the music was amazing! Loud but great if you’re looking to feel like a night out without the chaos of a club and good food. Mostly hip hop, dancehall, soca and rap on this Friday night

• I’m convinced more than ever that the phrase “It’s Lit” was born here. I just know it happened when someone got up on a table & yelled it out & an entire culture was created. • The food here is delicious. The chicken & red velvet waffle pictured here were awesome. So awesome in fact I actually asked people if they wanted a bite. Dafuq was I thinking? • This place isn’t a restaurant. It’s a vibe. If you come here you’ve gotta be in a certain mindset. And that mindset rhymes with hearty because the mindset’s “party.” • I make my biggest fuss when it comes to brunch. I can easily become a devoted customer to a spot if, at the very least, their brunches are fun, lively & offer good options. This place does exactly that. • This place gets crowded and crowded fast so make your reservations early because their line is no joke. But once you’re inside you’ll understand why
