| - This is more like a 3.5, but let's round up, shall we? I really wish it were a full 4, but there were a few unfortunate setbacks.
First let's start with the good. I love the concept and it's nice to do something different. 'Soul food' fits the bill. The jerk chicken quasadillas (an app) were very good, as were the mixed drinks. I had the Tequila Sunrise and it was perfectly sweet and salty. For a main, I had the fried chicken and waffles (a novel combination) and liked the chicken, but it could have been spicier. My partner had the Guinness chicken and seemed to really enjoy it, confirming it had more kick.
Now, the bad. My fried chicken was supposed to be accompanied with two sauces I did not receive. Not sure what happened there, but I was looking forward to the gravy and special plum sauce. I didn't realize they were missing until well into the meal; otherwise, I would have asked for them. I also was not impressed by my partner's mac & cheese. It was pretty bland and below expectation at a place like this. The corn bread was a little odd, and I wouldn't order that again either.
All in all, I would definitely return to try other items, and as I said, it's a nice change from traditional American/Indian/Thai/etc. fare.
