   Service was horrible! Parking is valet only(cost-10.00) One of the female waitresses was complaining about how things were being handled. She was loud and using profanity. I had to make the hostess aware that no one had some to the table. It's clearly many had been waiting for food and orders to be taken. They add a 20% tip, service good or bad service. I always tip and will tip up to 25% if the service is good. Honestly, the price of the food is not worth it. I will not go back!

   The ambiance was great the food and drinks are amazing! Small parties still receive a 20% gratitude fee. Service was at times a little slow, but communication on why was superb

   Went with a group of 6 total. Service was great. Only a few complaints about food. My personal experience was great. Had the salmon Alfredo … if you like Alfredo you’ll love it. The jerk chicken tacos were very good. The empanadas weren’t great, taste kinda like a pot pie but good nonetheless. The drunk in love drink was worth the $18 lol…. Very strong. 9/10 I recommend.

   Food and service was amazing. The only thing was there was a long wait for the food to come out. That also could have been because it’s Mothers Day.

   Overall, the food was good; however, the service was poor. Our reservation was 3:30 p.m. Arrived at 3:15 p.m. Very chaotic at the door. We were seated at 4:00. Our food order was taken at 4:15 p.m. We received our food around 5:15 p.m. Don't think we will return.

   Food was really good but the wait time was terrible. At least an hour and a half wait for food on Mother's Day......

   I made a reservation and was on time. I had to wait 1.5 hours. The host could not give a time estimate for the table, and also suggested not to make a reservation on weekends because it is always busy. There were people still waiting who made reservations for earlier times. They suggested an outside table even though it was raining. They were unprofessional and rude, and did not offer any apology nor get a manager when asked. Staff said the manager was probably in the back cooking. I eventually got a text saying that the table was ready 2 hours later. Unfortunately, the lowest rating that can be given is 1 star but they don’t deserve that. It is ridiculous that gratuity is charged for 2 people in a party at 20%. People were standing at the door going outside into the street.

   Made reservations for 1:30 was told it would be a 30 min wait, ok cool we waited received text saying table was ready only to have been waiting an additional 15 mins before being seat. Think that was horrible placed order for food and wasn’t served until 1 hour later only for the food to be luke warm. I don’t mind paying a tip when service is indeed amazing but overall our waiter never checked on us but we paid gratuity.. do better

   The food was tasty—especially the oxtails, though they were very fatty and greasy. Service was poor: long wait time and a rude waiter. A hookah fell on me during my visit, burning my leg, but staff showed little concern. When I reported it, I was questioned as if it were my fault. I won’t be returning and don’t recommend this place. Houston has plenty of soul food spots with great service—support those that value their customers.
