My sister Ashley and I recently had dinner at Alta, and we truly enjoyed everything--the delicious food, the welcoming atmosphere, and the outstanding service! I ordered the lamb, which was cooked to absolute perfection. The bread paired beautifully with the flavorful seasoned jam sauce--it was such a delicious combination. And what can I say about the modern banana caramel split? It was rich, satisfying, and completely out of this world! The homemade ice cream was an experience all by itself. The flavor was extraordinary, and the entire dessert was truly second to none. From the moment we walked through the doors, the hostess was warm, caring, and helpful. The customer service was professional, friendly, and inviting. Our servers were attentive throughout the entire evening, very knowledgeable about the menu, and took great care in answering all our questions. Chef Keith Corbin is an outstanding human being, husband, father, chef, business owner, and entrepreneur in every sense of the word. His talent and dedication can be experienced in every part of Alta. Ashley and I cannot wait to find another reason to return for more! Smile, Keshia & Ashley read more

My review is a few weeks late so 2 of the menu items may have changed. I have to start out with a shout out to a great host, Charleston! He is definitely fine dining level host. The resturant was busy and as it should and he was awesome! Offered me water at the bar while a table opened up. Then took us to a perfectly air conditioned section. Thank you! Drinks: the limoncello was good, it was light and refreshing. My friends got the For goodness Sake, $38. We weren't sure exactly what it would be like but the first sip of the egg whites and pepper was interesting. I'm just going to leave it at that. I'm pretty sure my other friend got the sweet corn, and it had a nice earthy taste to it. Feel free to correct me Alta team if it was another drink. Food: you really liked all of the different options that Alta had for vegetables. First we got the flat bread with the jams, it tastes just like a paratha. It was great. We got a summer salad and had a great flavor. The Charred cauiflower steak had a good sauce to it and the Ember Roasted Sweet Potato was really good. It does have a good amount of spice on it which I love. The Osso buco was my favorite, but the coucous didn't feel like it paired well. Would have been better if it was rice to soak up the flavor. But it was still good flavor. The best part was the extra hot chili oil they served with it. Our sever said it was made in house, and it definitely reminded me of that a chili oil should taste like. It packs heat. The Coulutte Steak was also good, it was well prepared and with berbere butter on top. Great for family style. We shared it among 3 people and it was perfect. Parking was available on the street since it was Sunday, I just Valet. Overall service was good, I understand it was busy but our server took our appetizers order and disappeared for a while. Someone else came with our drinks, to refill our water and finally had to flag our gracious host down to ask about our server. But a great place overall and fun cocktail menu. We all really enjoyed the food. read more

Absolutely perfect! This by far was one of the best dinners I've had in a while! The service was exceptional and the restaurant could not be any cleaner.. the food was the star of the night, in spite of if everything being so perfect, it just got better as they brought out every dish.. The flatbread, black eyed peas, the sweet potatoes.. I'm still thinking about these dishes! The pork chop, chicken and the duck confit were equally as good. All dishes score a perfect 10 for us! A big thanks to Chef Keith and his whole staff for treating us like we were royalty! read more

This place is amazing, hands down! The Charred Summer Succotash was incredible. The flavors and textures of the scallops, corn pudding, and chile were so well-balanced, and every bite was delicious. This dish was SO good! I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. The cocktails were amazing as well! I work with Hennessy, and the Banana Nut Hennessy cocktail was the featured menu cocktail for the evening. I tried it and absolutely loved it! A consumer also tried the Spicy Hennessy Mojito and really enjoyed it. The restaurant was busy and had such a great vibe! Everyone seemed so happy and satisfied with their drinks and meals. The energy was great, the food was amazing, and the cocktails were definitely worth trying. Love this place -- what a gem! read more

Last night was my first time dining at Alta Adam's. They have street parking (if you're lucky) or valet parking for $15. As soon as I walked in, the host was very friendly and welcoming. He checked us in right away and since we arrived before the rest of our party (party of 4), we sat at the bar for a few drinks prior to dinner. The bartenders were Joey and Lawrence ..... amazing and friendly bartenders! Lawrence suggested the peach&peas (gin based) ... I was skeptical but I went with his suggestion. It was so good I got another glass! The drink was sweet and refreshing. A must try! Side note, I noticed the beautiful art work on the wall at the bar ... definitely caught my eye and I will post the picture! As for the food... everything was absolutely delicious, the only thing I was not a fan of was the lamb BUT everyone else at the table enjoyed it. Besides the lamb, we ordered flatbread, yellowtail sashimi, melon salad, miso glazed eggplant, scallops, confit duck leg, and the grilled sea bream. I would say the sashimi and grilled sea bream was my absolute favorite but everything (except the lamb for me lol) was delicious and full of flavor. I would 100% recommend Alta Adams ... whether it's dining with friends, date night or just a solo dinner at the bar. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly, she gave her name during the introduction but I forgot... sorry! She was amazing! I look forward to dining here again. read more

Alta Adams Anniversary Dinner Had an amazing dinner at Alta Adams with my husband to celebrate our anniversary! I was first introduced to Alta Adams when I attended a Hampton University Athletics fundraiser there. I got to sample a few small bites and appetizers, and everything was so delicious that I knew I had to come back--and this time, with my husband! We came on a Sunday evening and were seated right away. Our waitress was wonderful, asked about allergies, and got us started with drinks. My husband ordered an Old Fashioned topped with an edible cricket --which he said tasted a lot like a sunflower seed! Chef Keith Corbin is an incredibly gracious host with a keen eye for presentation and an amazing palate. Every single dish was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We had the sweet potato, cabbage, steak, and lamb, and everything was truly 10/10. I rarely give a 10/10, but this experience absolutely deserved it. What stood out just as much as the food was the hospitality. Chef Corbin stopped by our table several times throughout the evening to check on us and see how we were enjoying our food and drinks. He even personally wiped down our table between courses! I also noticed him making his way around the restaurant, checking in on and engaging with all of the guests. That level of care and attention made the entire experience feel so personal and special. From the moment we walked through the door, everything was top tier. I'm so glad we chose Alta Adams to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you, Chef Corbin, and your entire team, for such an incredible evening! 10/10--no notes! read more

This was sitting in my drafts, so some pics are from their old brunch menu. July 2026 - I just tried their revamped menu and loved it! First, the service is community style. While we have a main server, it felt lile the entire staff was available and supportive. The inside decor doesn't look different, but the tableware did change. We ordered the Sashimi, Melon Salad, Sweet Potato and Chicken. I will say the menu seems a bit beyond my taste, but everything was superb! The mix of flavors and seasonings was a pleasant surprise and wasn't heavy at all. It is on the pricier side but felt like an experience, not just a meal. This is worth the experience, at least once read more

You can reserve ahead on OpenTable with $ deposit (48hr). There's a lot of free street parking and easy access + restrooms. This place recently reopened and has a focus on north and south African cuisines with a south American influence. Food + drinks: great! They have plenty vegetarian and potentially vegan options. The spices and seasonings on different dishes will definitely catch your interest. We tried the oven sweet potato, the black lentils, and the scallops. Everything was good. Only note/feedback - dark chocolate cake is very dry even with the icecream. Tastes good but could do with more moisture. We also tried their seasonal sweet corn cocktail and a classic limoncelo cocktail. They gave us champagne for anniversary. Service was nice/warm and friendly. Dishes are priced per LA std. It's def worth checking out. read more

I visited Alta yesterday. They just reopened with a new menu & newly decorated space. The space is gorgeous. The service feels more elevated than my last visit, too. It was good service before, but a bit more upscale this time. The menu, I believe, is completely redone. I didn't see any dishes that looked familiar. I do think if you loved Alta before you'll be a bit disappointed in this new menu. I was, even though I enjoyed what I tried. I actually came for happy hour at the wine shop and it was closed, so we decided to give the new menu at the restaurant a try. The cocktail menu is strong! We enjoyed everything we tried, especially the "sweet corn" which is their version of a whiskey sour. The food is good. I think I just wanted more items that reminded me of "soul food"? I see the connection though. The succotash with corn pudding. I love both of these and their version is fresh & flavorful. The scallops make it a unique dish. The sweet potato is simple but very good. Both amazing dishes. I see how it's California soul food... But why couldn't the black eyed pea fritters stay on? Or an updated version of the deviled eggs? I just wanted more of those items. I almost think they should rebrand with a new name as well because it's Alta 2.0 and some folks might still expect Alta. All in all, it was a good experience. They're not set up for happy hour so I would only come back for dinner. At the current menu prices, I want to enjoy a full meal, maybe a date night. So noted for myself for future visits. They mentioned the wine shop is opening in July so I'll come back to try that side as well. read more

Why this place has a rating of anything less than 4.5 is astonishing to me. We had a reservation for 5 at 11am and honestly when we walked in, it looked empty but turns out most of sitting is away from the bar area and on the other side of the restaurant. We had a warm welcome and our server answered any and all questions we had. The vibe is quintessential to the food they are serving. The playlist is as authentic as it gets and don't be surprised if you see people jamming out to the music as they enjoy the food. We started off with the fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits as a starter for the table. The fried chicken is juicy, very flavorful, and the crispy exterior without a heavy batter is truly top tier. Everyone at the table agreed on how delicious and outstanding the chicken was. The buttermilk biscuits were just as standout. Tender on the inside but a nice crust on the outside. The butter with the sprinkle of Maldon salt was chef kiss. And don't let me sleep on the red pepper hot sauce served with the fried chicken. It was the perfect amount of heat but packed big on flavor. Insane pairing with the fried chicken. The rest of food didn't disappoint either. Everyone's food was delicious. We tried everything. The oxtail and grits. Oh my jeans. Expand them suckers for these. Those grits were creamy and buttery but with a nice texture of grits. The oxtail was tender, smoky and delicious. The shrimp and grits just as delicious. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. Juicy with a hint of smokiness. The sauce was perfect bed for the grits. Fried catfish was crisp on the outside but moist and tender on the inside. Collard greens were traditionally served with a hint of smoked flavor and vinegar. Yall don't sleep on this place. If I lived here, I'd be a regular for sure. Definitely some of the best food I have enjoyed in a very long time. read more

We have been longtime fans of Alta Adams and just returned for the first time since the new menu launched. The short review: everything is spectacularly good. I was mildly concerned that I might be disappointed--there are so many flavors, and I am usually critical of overly designed dishes--but Corbin nailed every starter, salad, entrée, and dessert we tried. And we covered a lot of ground. The staff is very kind and the space is well designed. It can get loud, but nothing that I found bothersome. It made for a fun ambiance. I highly recommend trying this soon! read more

This is an update to a review I wrote 8 years ago. Recently Chef Corbin put Alta on hiatus inorder for him to revamp both the facility, but also the menu. It is now a spectacular,one of a kind place destined for a Michelin star.It is not easy to point out one standout dish because from the oysters,to salads,steak chicken,vegetables, etc it is all spectacular A true destination spot. Bravo Chef Corbin read more

The food here is phenomenal! West African themed restaurant. Michelin 2025 award for the best seasonal food served with intention. Chef Corbin has selected every detail on the menu from the wine local from Northern California to the seasonal vegetables offered. The service was wonderful, our server Marylyn and everyone one else were so pleasant and attentive to our needs and request. If you have the chance please pay them a visit, it's worth your while!!! read more

Alta Adams - Smoked, warm brownie with coji caramel ice cream - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm going to assume the reason for the 3.5 stars is the lack of parking because everything else was wonderful! The ambiance is beautiful and I liked that there was lots of natural lighting. The service was great - even though I was a part of a big party (10) and it was quite busy, we were never forgotten and they always checked on us. As for the food and drinks - I really liked the dirty matcha, you can really taste the espresso and earthiness of the matcha. For food, the chicken and waffles were just perfect! I asked for hot sauce on the side which pairs really well with the buttery sweet sauce Overall would definitely come back to this place even if parking is a hassle. read more

I tried this place last night for the first time and the ambiance was amazing and the food was good, but our server really took away from the experience. My friend and I sat for about 15-20 minutes before being acknowledged. Another employee ended up bringing us water, and we had to flag someone down just to get a wine menu. When our server finally came over, she didn't greet us, introduce herself, or apologize for the wait. She simply asked if we had a question about the wine. As we were ordering, I asked her to describe one of the entrées because I'm a visual person and like to know what I'm getting. Instead of explaining the dish, she gave very short, rushed answers and seemed annoyed by basic questions. The entire interaction felt cold and dismissive. What really threw me off was after we placed our order. She questioned whether we were ordering enough food and asked multiple times if that was all we were getting. It felt awkward and unnecessary, especially since we were ordering exactly what we wanted. The food was good and the atmosphere was great, but the service lacked warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism. Hopefully this was just an off night. Not sure if I'll return though. read more

As a local, I was really excited to try Alta Adam and support the neighborhood. The aesthetics and ambiance are absolutely beautiful, and I was hoping to discover a new African-inspired restaurant that I could recommend to friends. I ordered the Limoncello cocktail, which I enjoyed, although I originally wanted the watermelon drink and was told they didn't have the juice prepared for it. For food, I had the BBQ Chicken Suya. The flavor was great and I loved the crispiness of the chicken. However, I was disappointed that the only accompaniment was a charred avocado. There were no side options such as rice, potatoes, or anything else to complement the citrus flavors of the dish. When I asked for hot sauce, I was given what seemed like a mashed broccoli paste with only a slight hint of spice. Unfortunately, a few hours later I experienced significant stomach discomfort and spent the rest of the evening sick. I'm grateful I decided to go home instead of meeting up with friends afterward. At $38 for chicken with no substantial sides, plus $15 valet, the value just wasn't there for me. I really wanted to love this place because the atmosphere is stunning, but the food experience ultimately overshadowed everything else. Service could also use some improvement. The gentleman behind the bar barely acknowledged me and collected guests' cards before the actual server arrived. A warmer, more upbeat approach from the staff would make the experience feel much more welcoming. Overall, the ambiance is beautiful and the concept has potential, but my experience with the food, value, and service left me disappointed. read more

We had a great experience at Alta Adams. The services was stellar the drinks were very tasty and the food was delicious. We started with a cocktails at the bar. I really enjoyed the sweet corn cocktail and my husband got the Strawberry Rhubarb. The menu had significantly changed so we went in with expectations to have all of the most highly reviewed dishes of the past but was pleasantly surprised to still see a few of those highly regarded dishes while getting to try some new options. My favorites were the succotash with scallops and the sweet potato. My husband was a big fan of the black lentils and the West African osso bucco. We were a group of four and we ordered a bunch of dishes to share. Some of the servings were smaller but we still left full and happy. Parking - Street parking is hard but they have valet which was $15 (Friday night) and I tend to run a little hot and found that being in the restaurant filled with other diners was a little warm so if you get hot easily dress accordingly. read more

I discovered Alta by chance, the space immediately caught my eye and after seeing the menu, I knew I had to go! My family and I went last Saturday, our first time going, and couldn't have had a better experience! The staff were all incredibly friendly, but the most unexpected and awesome surprise of our visit was that we were served by Chef Keith, the chef and owner himself! We loved hearing about his culinary journey and what inspired each of his dishes. And the food itself was unbelievably good! Each new dish somehow outdid the last! My two favorites were the cabbage and the half chicken, not counting the dangerously delicious banana split! The space itself is bright and has a warm vibe all around. Go ahead and check it out, this was not just the best food, but the best dining experience I've had in a good while! Thank you Chef Keith and the Alta team! read more

Came here 7pm Saturday night it wasn't very busy but would pick up over time. I made a reservation and got sat immediately. There's $10 valet that you can Venmo if you don't want to look for street parking We had a new waitress whenever she was slippin this black male waiter was amazing to back her up Cornbread delicious with and without butter. Maybe even better without honestly. The deviled eggs had too much mustard for me but my date liked it. Food came out extra hot so much so i needed to take the yams out of their container for them to edible comfortably lol. Something as basic as rice & beans was even great too. They even found a way for basic fried potatoes under my black salmon (which was amazing) to stand out. Apetizers not coming out before the entree was a little different and the more packed it got the more it seemed there should've been another waiter for the whole section. The partnership with the "inkind" app gets 20% back instantly. I'll be back asap read more

Great soul food spot in West Adams which is one of my favorite areas in LA! Simple and great layout with a smooth vibe. The spot doesn't give soul food but the food matches the spot and makes sense as soon as you taste the food. It's a soul food that feels light and healthy which is rare lol. I had the Blackened Salmon, Fried/Smashed Potatoes, Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens and Candied Yams & Pecans. Everything was good, with a light taste/flavor, not to be confused with lacking taste/flavor but light lol. Staff was amazing as well. read more

I was super excited about hearing about this place but I always enjoy trying out new black owned restaurants that serve southern cuisine in Los Angeles. As everyone knows already, parking over here can be difficult which is a drag and it can take a minute to find parking without spending the money for valet. After looking at the menu, there seemed to be a decent amount of options and of course I'm aware this is a more upscale restaurant but the prices seemed very pricey for the food and amount provided. The brisket was decent and I tried the corn mill pancakes which I wanted to love but it really didn't do it for me along with the "syrup" they gave which really wasn't syrup. It also looked almost identical to the bbq sauce so that can be an easy mistake lol. I do want to give this another try but I'm not as enthused. read more

I've been a huge fan of Chef Keith since the very early days of Alta. I wanted to support him in this remodeling (I love the new look) and menu change. Although, I am so attached to the old menu. I was quite pleased. Chef Keith has a knack for creating food items that are...different. And they just simply taste delicious. I found that to be true with his new menu. I love that foods are designed to be shared so you get to try a lot of different items for a relatively reasonable price. I can't wait until Alta begins serving brunch because I'm coming back for those grits! Lol I love them. They're the best. Kudos to our server, Janaea (sp) Her knowledge and communication made our experience even greater. read more

My first time at Alta. I always check out the menu beforehand and was disappointed since whatever source I was checking had the old menu. I was really fixed for some collard greens but they were not on the new menu. Like others have mentioned, portion size was surprising. I can see the correlation between some dishes and those prices and portions but black eyed peas are not expensive or hard to source. Either make that portion larger or lower the price point. We had the lamb and it was AMAZING and I didn't blink twice about the cost or potion size. The yam was DIVINE and my friend and I ate the entire thing. Literally sent a clean plate back. lol. Advanced notice you get one yam per order. We also had drinks. I cannot recall hers but I'm sober so I had the Butterfly Pea Tea drink and it was SUBLIME. Everyone was so kind and attentive. The atmosphere was lovely. I'd go back for the yam and to try a few more items. read more

$12.00 for a bottle of water, I should have had a cocktail! Or I should have been told they charge for water!

I was excited to dine at a black owned eatery and I was very impressed. The food was good and served at a good temperature. Everyone loved their meal. Drinks seemed a bit pricey. The service was equally as good and they were very accommodating to our table of 6. All of the staff were very friendly. Very nice ambiance with indoor and outdoor patio seating. We chose to sit inside and the only issue was the music. The noise level was unbearable. The music is so loud that you can't hear the people at your own table. Had the volume of the music not been an issue, this would have been an exceptional experience. I will try again another time. read more

Dined here on a Saturday for brunch with a party of 9. The staff were amazing. There are multiple seating options such as indoor/outdoor or the long table in the tasting room next door. Our party consisted of vegan, vegetarian, and meat eaters. Everyone was pleased with their options. We ordered: salad, black eye pea fritters, cornbread and deviled eggs to start. Entree's ordered: Catfish and grits, Shrimp & grits, Brisket, Oxalis & grits, Chicken & Waffles, Mac and Cheese, Collards, and that's all I can remember. Plenty of food options to try different items. The food was a 4.5/5 I would return when I visit LA. Also, don't sleep on the coconut cake. It was homemade and moist. The team went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. The service was very professional and accommodating for our large group and our server offered great suggestions for meal options. read more

Alta Adams - Oxtails - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Hats off to Chef/Owner Keith Corbin and his talented team of chefs, servers, hosts, mixologist and kitchen assistants. All team members exceed excellence in their craft. Last Saturday was a birthday celebration at Alta Adams for my dear friend and to our delight we also celebrated culinary artistry. We began with well-balanced cocktails, expertly prepared West Coast Oysters and soft Flatbread. Followed by a wide range of sumptuous plates: Melon Salad, Miso-Glazed Japanese Eggplant, Succotash + Suya Scallops, Ember-Roasted Sweet Potato, Binchotan-Grilled Yellowtail Collar and Dark Chocolate Cake with a lighted candle for the birthday girl. We gained enthusiasm and anticipation for every delectable dish. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to Chef Corbin and Team Alta for giving us happy hearts and dancing spirits. We felt right at home with the open kitchen and tastefully designed interiors. Five stars and beyond for the Alta Adams dining experience. Chef Corbin, we will see you at the Chef's counter with rapturous appetites. read more

Great service, love the vibe and anterior. Food selections we're so good although it didnt taste like the fusion they are trying to accomplish it was still really good food. My only complaint server forgot to order our steak we waited almost 30min for it after we received all the other dishes instead of just apologizing and being honest she tried to act like she was waiting for us to tell her we ready for our steak. So off putting and bizarre when their kitchen model was explained in the beginning. After waiting so long for it the steak they tried to rush it and it came Med rare when we request well done. When they refired it was well done but super fatty since they didnt render the fat. For over $50 that was disappointing. read more

This was my first visit to this beautiful restaurant. It appears to be in a building that has architectural details from the past. There is a front dining room and bar, a second dining room, a chef's counter facing the open kitchen, and a shaded outdoor patio. There's a wine bar next door that is connected, and I saw people ordering food there. I ordered dishes that I had read about and/or was interested in trying. The deviled eggs were tasty and pretty traditional, with a kick of mustard. The oxtails and grits were fabulous, fall-off-the-bone tender. I slurped off every piece of meat from those bones. And the grits were ever so creamy. I also ordered 3 pieces of their famous fried chicken. The order came with a drumstick, wing and thigh. The fry was dark not from overcooking but from the rub/seasoning/batter, which had a bit of a kick (cayenne?). The batter was light and crispy. The accompanying fresno hot sauce was fine, fortunately for me not too spicy, a bit too vinegary for me. I prefer sweet. The honey-caramelized carrots with peanuts and mint were multi-coloured and fine; I thought the honey would be more pronounced (ie, sweet). Service was excellent at first. But within an hour the restaurant filled-up fast. There was only one server, plus a host who was serving as well as seating, and 2 bartenders. I would have ordered dessert ( I had the coconut cake in mind), but because they were so stretched, I passed. I'd love to try Alta for their well-regarded brunch. read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for months and months and months maybe years... So one day when we were planning dinner I just said we're gonna go to Ulta right now. It was a Sunday and we live in walking distance so we walked and they were actually like closing up. It was like six and I'm like what and she's like. Yeah we just do a brunch. She's like I mean we do have a dinner. It's a prefixed menu and we're showing a movie. It's like dinner in a movie and I said well what's the movie she said boomerang I said oh my God yeah that sounds fun. How much is it so we got the price and we decided to go watch the movie and have some food let me tell you we had such a good time we forgot how funny that movie was. We forgot how nice it is to sit and just like be with other people laughing and talking. It was just a wonderful experience and I was so grateful that they were able to accommodate us and one of my needs, I really really wanted the okra stew and she was able to switch one of my mains from the prefix menu! And I hate that I did not get names... There was a little problem with some bills at the end of the day the manager took everything into her hands and made everything more than right. I cannot wait to go back and if you have not been, you must go every single thing that we ate was delicious. Every drink we had was scrumptious 5 1/2 stars. I would give it if I could. read more

I live about 5 min from Alta. I tried their food on several occasions. They profess to be Southern Cuisine. LOL. Fried Chicken was over cooked on the outside and raw on the inside. Meaning to high a cooking temp. Collards-another joke. Some folded over collard leaf. lol! I lived in Ga. for 22years and learned how to cook collards from an amazing lady..black by the way-ham hock water vinegar salt and about 3 lbs of collards in a huge vat for 4 hours on medium heat. Deviled eggs dryer than the desert! Then we learned white folk were not welcome or at least treated like second class citizens. They closed for months.. now open but no one comes anymore. Think again about an all inclusive attitude. We were not welcomed. You alienate half of your possible clientele and you fail.. which you are now experiencing. We love all people..color is not in our thought..you..not so much!! read more

I came here for brunch to celebrate galentines with my gf's and I really enjoyed myself and ambiance!! The food was pretty good and fair prices! The drink I ordered was the Lemoncello drink that is similar to a lemon drop. I also tried some wine that was very good called Mary Grenache. I ordered the shrimp and grits for my entree and it was very good the grits were a lil cold but it was no problem they fixed it super fast! Also, a con was that they do not take the shell off of the shrimp so be prepared to take off. No big deal but just FYI. However, good service!! Which let me begin to talk about the exceptional service! They are super friendly and don't rush you out at all! We were there for a very long time and they did not bother us when shift and menu changed to dinner. Plus, the owner is very humble, hardworking , good personality, and welcoming! This place is definitely a vibe! I'm so happy that I got a chance to try here during black history month! Also, right next door is the wine bar that is quite phenomenal with happy hour. The wine selection is amazing, which is mostly women black owned. It's also very cute inside with AMAZING R&B songs that are played!!! Very modern and good for any type of celebrations! They also have events here that I will come to attend! Valet parking is $10.00 and they also have street parking! I will definitely come back here! For dinner and to go next door to the wine bar!! I highly recommend! read more

We went here after the chef closed it for a few months to revamp the space and boy was I impressed! The new concept was described as African cuisine meets California style and I think it hit the nail on the head. From the sashimi to the little gems salad to the suya chicken, it was the perfect blend of California cuisine with African & global influence. Everything tasted like it was made with love but in the most elevated way. The staff was so friendly and helpful, the cocktails were to die for! We will be back! read more

Came here for lunch with a group of 7! You can make reservations ahead of time but please note a reservation of 10 or more requires a deposit. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They were helpful with dish recommendations and frequently checked in on us. We all shared the cornbread and it was amazing! I love the butter that it comes with. I would say it's shareable between 4-5 people. I was really torn between the brisket and the chicken and waffles but ultimately went with chicken and waffles and it did not disappoint. I LOVED that the waffles were light and fluffy on the inside so it didn't feel too heavy. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. I really enjoyed their house made hot sauce as well. My friend got the brisket and I tried a piece of it and it was bomb! Great food all around and a place worth checking out especially to support a Black-owned business! read more
