Leave a ReviewThis was by far one of the most delicious meals that I’ve had out in awhile. I loved the fusion of flavors within each dish. Each bite you took, you had to pause for a moment and say wow- that’s when you know it’s good! I love the creativity and approach to down home favorites such as their cornbread and tender lamb. I’m usually not a fan of lamb, but I decided to try it out and I was not disappointed. The restaurant ambience was also beautiful which made all the difference since we were there for a birthday dinner. I’ve followed Marcus Samuelsson on various tv food programs and was awesome to experience his unique culinary vision through his restaurant. Yes, it was pricey, but it was a special occasion well worth it. I highly recommend!

As soon as I walked in, live music/band were playing and it was absolutely welcoming. The host was just as welcoming and accommodating for me. My waitress, Nellie (spellcheck), was attentive and inviting. She helped add to the great experience. The food I ordered: - Corn bread 10/10 (we got two orders) - M Steak 8/10, the steak was a little cold when it arrived, but the sauce was delicious and the steak cooked exactly how I wanted it! - Coconut Rice 6/10 Overall, a wonderful experience. Thanks to the kitchen and staff for a memorable birthday!
