"great but many room grow! I was looking for a special place to have a birthday dinner with 3 other mature and extremely demanding suburban women, both of whom were not overwhelmed to go to lunch in dc. I won them before location. so their location, besides two other things dragged me to this restaurant eating and the newness. I wasn't disappointed. I went into a very good scene new very different from the banana cafe. the color scheme and the artwork is beautiful! the food was great! I am from the low country sc and grew up on the dishes offered on the menu. (I see myself as an expert. eating was good and authentic. our server was charismatic and friendly. these are the things that would force me to return. also the choice of the music is superb. it felt like a soul food spot. on the afternoon, however, mainstays were not available on the menu soul rolls and either dessert (banan pudding sweet kartoffel pfund cake. I am not an expert for the restaurant, but I think that the soul rolls (in this restaurant of soul food should be a main available and loaded by 1 clock after half a day of opening (as they are closed Monday to evening, I thought they would go closed and go closed. at the end of eating and outing, I have made a comment about not getting the soul roll to the woman who seemed to be a manager of any kind. She brought us something out. they were here. someone from the kitchen also brought the müll out and went right behind us through the area. that was extremely disturbing. I hope that was the decision of the individual employee and not the direction of management. overall it was GOOD experience with good food. I am rooted for the success of this place. I will give it a little more time before I return. I'm gonna move!"
