Old school hidden 💎...:Update Dec 26 The all 5⭐ Only apply for the Mon and Tues that the kindest expert Mixologist bartender is there...London. Food is excellent I've had the Essence wings, shrimp cocktail, and a few others...all very well prepared and presented. As far as drinks it's the small things like a lime in your corona or a cherry and orange slice with your whiskey sour that adds to the aesthetic..maybe even a welcoming "how are you, what can I get you". Not pet peeving, but let your top bartender who can make a drank, who is personable and charismatic be the one to teach these very unprofessional nasty attitude bartenders who were serving today(Dec 26):an I ain't talking bout Felicia,😑, in a uniformed way. I usually get down wit my grub drinks n fellow patrons, always a great vibe. One negative don't make me forget the other 5 positive. Visit...eat...enjoy...great place overall.

The only place you can go now adays n feel safe and everyone is so friendly. I absolutely love Arthur the owner. Always a smile as he walks by. My sister died and the love and peace I got was awesome. Come on down on à Friday night for karaoke and sing with me. It's my peaceful night.

This place is a staple for me! The Essence Honey wings and catfish straps make me break my diet every other week! 😩 I've been going here for YEARS and I've never been disappointed with the service, food or drinks. Plus, they have Karaoke which is fun and a dope happy hour menu!

Cool spot. Food so so...I think I may have gone on a bad night. There was only one person working the bar so we waited on drinks and food a little longer than usual. Drinks were made well and served with a smile which is always nice.
