Music was much too loud even after we advised staff. It took an hour to receive our dinner from when we entered at 6.

Service was amazing.
The ambiance was nice and an eclectic group of diners.
The food took quite awhile to come out which was the only downside.
We were seated promptly (we had reservations).
The appetizer (salmon bites not on the menu) were amazing excuse me AMAZING!
The dinner was great as well.
The sides of spinach in a coconut milk was DEliciious
The collard greens were Okay.
The flatbread was really good.
Both the salmon and shrimp were outstanding. My wife loved her chicken dish as well.
For dessert we had mango mouse which was unreal.
Definitely heading back again once I save up some money. It was on the pricier side.

Try the goat. Similar, but just a little bit tougher than lamb chops
