    Oxtail quesadilla
    Sunshine A.

    They're understaffed, and the workers are stressed, so the service is slow. One of the workers vented to us about nobody coming to work during peak time. We noticed other patrons feeling just as frustrated with the service. At one point, two men entered, who appeared to be management, and they didn't do anything to help the situation. They pulled the worker away from a very busy situation. The food was decent. We got wings, oxtail quesadilla, and fish. We had a lemon drop and an old-fashioned for drinks. The ambience is cool, and the decor is nice--loved the theme. It smelled clean when we entered, and the bathroom was well kept. They have a good formula, but they need to address the staffing issue so customers aren't waiting so long.

    This restaurant has a very good vibe. I felt bad because there was only one hostess, but she made our experience very good and the food was great. Shout out to Davye for being a wonderful waitress.

    Lunch Vibes! Came here on an early Saturday afternoon. As soon as we walked in the vibes were amazing.... Good music, smells of delicious food, tv's playing different things. We decided to take our food to go but there is ample seating available. We ordered Jerk Lamb Chops w/ mash, fried shrimp w/ fried, garlic parm wings and hot honey wings. Everything was piping hot and full of flavor. I especially loved the Jerk lamb chops which were bursting with flavor. The young lady that took our order was very nice, making sure we had everything we ordered in the bag plus utensils and condiments. Next time I'll dine inside and order from the brunch menu.

    This is my second time coming here i actually came when they first opened. I really love the boxing theme and that this is in the middle of Northside Queens (Saint Albans) and down the block from Hollis. Its definitely a great business in the community. I got once again the Jerk Chicken Mac N Cheese. The Boneless Jerk Chicken was so sweet and savory and the mac and cheese was baked to perfection had a flaky bread crumb- like taste with the best blend of cheese i've had in a while. I ordered The Does Goes Mango and it was really good. Strong but fruity. Also, ordered Shrimp Rasta Pasta which had a cajun but sweet mix to it. I've never had Rasta Pasta made in that manner it was so good which still has me wondering whats in that sauce! Lol Really good. My wings were BBQ and amazing. I ordered Honey Hot Wings for my boyfriend also. There was a great crowd. I've noticed everytime i come that families celebrate events and milestones here and this is why we need more black owned successful businesses in the heart of St Albans. Will surely be back i live down the block! Food and drinks 10 out of 10!

I watch the end of the game in here. Inside looks nice, booth is comfortable. Lively decoration with a spinning floating lightbulb in each table. The air is a bit stuffy though. I only ordered a burger as I heard from other reviewers that it is the best burger. It is quite tasty. Burger is on the smaller side, size of my palm. For $22, it also came with French fries. It is a bit more to the expensive side if I compare to what I will pay for a double burger and fries at Burger joint at 7th street burger. I guess i paid for the atmosphere. Service is ok. The waitress is very quiet. I dont think she spoke more than 20 words to me. Mostly nodding at my request. She did refill my water without me asking. However, she didnt bring me utensils. I had to use the toothpick that held the burger together to eat the leftover crumbs. My hands is a bit sticky and smell like barbecue sauce as a result of it. Thats why I deduct a star

    Ok so this review is like 3 months late. Sorry!!! But as…read morepromised let me review this gem! Let me start by saying LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! My server was Alba and it was her first week when I came (back in April ). If this was her first week, I couldn't tell. She was so professional, genuine and honestly just nice. She gave good recommendations and was sweet. Like I said we came at the tail end of happy hour and she kept coming back to make sure we got enough happy hour specials. Definitely a good server. Ask for We ended up catching the tail end of happy hour and were able to get some bites at a good price. The birria empanadas were pretty good and this is coming from someone who isn't a birria fan at all. The mango pineapple wings were very good and flavorful. But the other oxtails stole the show. They were so dang good! They had griot on the menu but it's only served on Wednesday. So I gave the manager Ken a hard time. Lol. He was a good sport. But let's also give credit to a manager who was making sure that alba was comfortable during her first week. Also, it was EXTREMELY busy and packed and he was walking around checking on the tables. My homegirl and I will be back!!!

But the tall sloppy old hag in the front pissed me off more than 3 times while I was here. I always have a bad experience here off service . Bartender did his thing he was great but the lady in the front kept inserting herself where it didn't concern here. She asked if we were sitting with the people we were next to at the bar why does that matter ? Then I had a vape on the table cause I keep going outside for smoke breaks and she said I have to put it away. Girl stop concerning yourself i now don't wanna drink eat or do anything else here . I'm very annoyed and I'm sitting here writing this while I wait for the bill cause I'm so ready to go. Moral of the story Andre a great bartender food is great as well (I had some of the salmon and Mac with oxtail it was amazing )

I enjoy my food when I actually taste the food and not the salt so I loved it. Others complained not salty/seasoned enough but it was perfect to me. Chicken had the right amount of crunch and tenderness. The salmon was meaty (not fatty) and seasoned just right. I had the bbq salmon and it was delicioso! The Mac n cheese was a good blend of cheeses and 'cheesy' pull was excellent. Potato salad just right. The service was top notch despite the place being sold out and very busy!!

The food was flavorful and well-prepared, although some dishes leaned a bit salty for my taste. I ordered the sautéed shrimp and grits. The shrimp were delicious, but I wish the dish came with a larger portion of grits. The gravy was very generous and ended up making the dish a bit soupy, so a little more grits would have helped balance the dish. Other highlights from our table included the fried shrimp and waffles, yams, and mac and cheese, all of which were excellent. Another guest in my party ordered the BBQ salmon and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. The ambiance is casual, comfortable, and inviting, making it a great spot for either a local brunch or a relaxed dinner. The service was attentive and pleasant throughout our visit. We were even greeted by the owner upon arrival, and his friendliness and hospitality immediately made us feel welcome and set a positive tone for the entire experience. Overall, this is a solid neighborhood restaurant with good food, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent customer service. I'd definitely return to try more items from the menu.

I ordered the short ribs and the five-onion soup again, and both were excellent. The service was spot-on and impressively quick--my food arrived in under 15 minutes. The owner is also really cool; he personally greets guests and makes a point of chatting with the performers to ensure they're comfortable. This is a wonderfully romantic spot. The beautiful flowers add such a nice touch (as I mentioned in my previous review). While it's not fully upscale, it has an elevated, sophisticated vibe that makes you want to dress up for the occasion. Highly recommended!

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.
