We visited for the first time today and we're thoroughly impressed. The ambiance, vibe, food and service were all excellent! My sister heard about this place on FB via "The Black Foodies" so we wanted to check it out. We will surely be back. Our server, Chiquita was wonderful. We appreciated her suggestions.
