Been to this restaurant for breakfast, brunch and dinner. Yes dinner! This is not just a breakfast place and is awesome! Hopefully, they will be able to figure out how to market this fact to more people.

I selected this restaurant for my fiancé birthday. We were welcomed with exceptional customer service. We received a complementary bottle of champagne from whom I believe was the owner of the restaurant. The vibes, hookah, food, and DJ were all top tier! It is a definite recommend, and we will visit again!! (Especially when in the area, we drove from VA)
