Wow! Can't believe I've never been here. What a great, diverse menu. Drinks were excellent as was the food. Anything with the word "Jerk" in it has to be tried. Presentation was excellent. Save room for an order of fresh made chocolate chip cookies.
Genuinely blown away by our experience. My husband and I went here for our anniversary and it was the best anniversary dinner out we've ever had. Every aspect of the restaurant was great. Some of the best food we've ever eaten, great cocktails, friendly engaging server. A high quality restaurant like no other in the area.
Great atmosphere as soon as you enter. Great happy hour specials for drinks and most appetizers. Staff was professional and courteous. If you like jerk seasoning/flavoring, this is the place for you
First time dining at this restaurant and wow . I was not expecting it to be this nice . I was definitely underdressed. I believe it is casual dress code but I would recommend maybe a button down and a nice pair of jeans . The service was A+ our waitresses name was Taylor and she was very knowledgeable about the menu and even gave us recommendations to try since it was our first time . Our food was also very good . You definitely have to try the black bean soup I definitely enjoyed that . This time around we chose to get appetizers. The banana peppers and calamari was delicious the shrimp was a hit I wish we got two orders . You have to definitely try the cheesecake ❤️We are looking to go back soon and try some main menu items
This Restaurant, is the most up- standing Restaurant, I believe in buffalo.
A hidden gem in Lackawanna but so worth the trip. This historic building and restaurant won’t disappoint.
A bit of a rocky start. Reservation was made for 6:30, but table was available at 7:00. No worries. Once we were seated, service was outstanding. The wine card is robust as well as the cocktail selection.
Our server Rose was delightful. She had great insights about the menu, as this was our first visit.
I have my own little spot in the corner or the bar. I accidentally thought it was 50 cent wing day (Tuesday) instead, I got a beautiful meal well prepared (Saturday) happy hour 4-6pm
Jerk chicken skillet! Sweet, spicy and fresh! Chicken was so tender and juicy. Veggies cooked to perfection.
