The drinks were very cute and fun. One came in a bird shaped glass inside of a cage I thought that was so cool and cute for pictures. Another came in a disco ball looking cup. I have Rasta pasta that was a 10/10 very flavorful with a hint of spicy. If you're not a spicy lover you'll still be able to enjoy this dish. I also have the jerk with that were very well seasoned and this one was more on the spicer side if your a spicy food lover this will be perfect for you, it wasn't a overbearing spice though. The food came over very quickly which I loved because who wants to wait a long time when they're hungry so that's a plus. I'd definitely be giving this place another visit.

The drinks were served with a creative twist, adding to the experience. While the venue has potential, it could benefit from stronger marketing, as it wasn't very busy for a weekend evening. Menu prices seemed a bit on the higher side, but I'd consider returning to try the dinner options.

It was my first time dining there, and my cousin had been before and said it was a good choice--so we went for a cute little summer brunch moment. As soon as we walked in, the vibe was bumping. They had a live band playing, people were up dancing, and the energy was really good. The live music does make it a little loud, but honestly, it added to the vibe. For drinks, I went with a white sangria, and my cousin had the spicy guava (I believe). I can't recall exactly what she ordered to eat--and for whatever reason, I didn't snap a picture--but I ordered the steak and eggs, sunny side up, with a side waffle because I wanted one... well, half a waffle. The steak and eggs came with a side salad and home fries. My steak was cooked to perfection--seasoned, juicy, and just right. The eggs were cooked beautifully, and I was definitely not unhappy. Everything hit the way it was supposed to. The service was great, the food was good, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. I'd definitely go back.

The bar is a casual setting, keep in mind that there isn't a dress code! I've seen people come in after weddings! There are different themed nights and they bring in different DJs. The staff is either family, friends, or Harlem locals, and you can even bring your own food if you need some backup for those strong drinks. Drinks are fairly low, a Don Julio Margarita is $15, and if you have Laray or Tracey make them be prepared !! There are even nights where there are $100 bottles of Moet. The bar can get packed, so there is sometimes a bit of wait, but the bartenders never forget! There is a homey aspect and the bartenders even remember names and orders. The vibe? Local, chill, and all about dancing! The crowd can be mature but to be honest between the drinks and the DJ you will be moving! The music is mostly Hip Hob & R&B, with a sprinkle of reggae or AfroBeats. The music gets louder to make it a party vibe during the later hours on the weekend. Whether you're pre-gaming, winding down, or just want a casual night out (weekends or when DJHoody pulls up), this is the spot!

They were constantly checking to make sure we were good. I find this really nice especially when gratuity is already added to the check.

Food is mediocre and can use a bit more seasoning in my opinion. The positives are it's beautifully decorated, conveniently located in a popular area, the staff is nice and welcoming and they do host events. We did get a bit upset when we brought a small cake to celebrate our friend who was leaving our job and moving away and they charged us to cut the cake. The cake was tiny and we had to pay a fee to cut it and celebrate our friend it was a little ridiculous esp when it was only 4 of us in total.

This place has changed so much over the last four years--and while a lot can change in that time,…read moreit was still disappointing to see. I stopped by on a weekday around 3:00-4:00 p.m., right as happy hour was starting. According to their website, happy hour runs from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The main reason I came was for their frozen rosé, which I remembered being one of the best. It's definitely more of a sweet, refreshing drink than a strong one, but it still gives you a nice buzz. I was even willing to pay full price for it. I literally paid for an Uber just because I was craving that frozen drink. The first thing I noticed was that, despite it being broad daylight, there was a security guard at the door checking IDs and searching bags. That's their policy, and that's fine, but what really stood out was the condition of the entrance. The front door was cracked and held together with duct tape. It seemed odd to be so focused on security while basic maintenance appeared to be neglected. When I walked in, I was only the second customer in the entire bar besides the bartender. Unfortunately, I found out the frozen drink machines have been broken for months, so there were no frozen drinks available at all. The bartender mentioned that she has repeatedly told management the machines need to be repaired, but nothing has been done. Since that was the only reason I came, and nothing else on the menu really caught my interest, I decided not to stay. This place has changed dramatically since the COVID era. The atmosphere feels completely different. One of the things I used to enjoy was their hookah happy hour, which was around $25 with refills for about $10-$15, and they had a great selection of flavors. From what I've heard, they no longer offer hookah, and it sounds like they may not have had the proper license back then, which is concerning if true. Another thing I miss is the outdoor seating area they had during COVID. The indoor space is pretty small, but the outdoor setup made the bar feel much larger and created a much better atmosphere. It's disappointing that they didn't keep it because I think it really added to the experience and probably helped attract more customers. Sorry I didn't take any photos, but honestly, there wasn't much worth photographing. The interior hasn't really changed, so the existing photos online are still an accurate representation of what it looks like still.

Everything came out at the perfect temperature, was full of flavor, and beautifully presented with great portion sizes.
