Hear me out. The $8 Holla was a 10/10, no notes. The Mac & Cheese is some of the best I've had and I like that you get a sample of the fried chicken wings and fried shrimp. Despite it being not super fresh (we had it delivered), they were full of flavor and so satisfying. Now I've never had a Jerk Chicken Breast Dinner like this where you get chunks of chicken breast cut up like this. On their own, they were smoky & seasoned but pretty dry. What saved it was the oxtail gravy we added for $2. The grandma's rice & beans were also pretty dry unlike other pics/videos I've seen. The blueberry cornbread was solid! It's sweet, light, and not too grainy. I wouldn't call it a cornbread personally, more like a blueberry pound cake. I didn't get any of that distinctive cornmeal flavor. All in all, there might be other items worth trying than what we got. I had higher expectations and would want to come back for a redemption meal.

My girl and I arrived at 6:55 for our 7:00 and were seated almost right away. The hostess initially attempted to seat is down this long hallway near the service area with no windows. I wasn't impressed and asked her if she could move us to a better table which she promptly obliged. After we sat down at our new table man oh man! Talk about a sexy, sophisticated ambiance! The place had a fun, electric energy to it which I really appreciated! Everyone was dressed superbly! The DJ was amazing too! Definitely set the tone for the night. My friend and I ordered a few glasses of prosecco and she had the lamb chops while I tried the chopped salad and the lobster Diavolo. Both were superb! Out waiter Dylan explained that it was seasoned a little on the spicier side so I asked if they could prepare it a little milder for me if it wasn't too much trouble. They did and it was absolutely amazing. A nice touch was when Jake, the Hospitality Lead stopped by our table to check on us and gave us an even warmer welcome when he heard we were from out of town! It was a great ending to a superb dining experience!

Service was great our waiter Giovanni was on point the whole time, super attentive and his recommendations were actually really good.

For our entrées we ordered the skirt steak, lamb chops, chicken parmigiana, cacio e pepe pasta, and pasta bolognese. No complaints, everyone enjoyed their food. They do have valet, which helps because parking over there is definitely a headache. Overall, really good experience and perfect spot for a celebration. Would go back.

The guac was good but could use a bit more salt, i wish they had chiccarons as chips instead of tortillas but the chips were great so wasn't a big issue. overall though expensive for some pretty average guac in my opinion. the seabass crudo was great, i loved the sauce and the mango went great with it. Super fresh, super tasty. Unfortunately the tacos were a mess, when it arrived the tortillas were so soggy that they were just coming apart, the meat was also falling off and overall the presentation was horrendous. the tacos weren't balanced as well, there were some with too much meat and then some with basically only cheese. overall flavor was not birria im typically use to but it was solid. honestly these tacos are probably the worst tacos i've ever had, for $20 it's a travesty. overall for a place nearby i'd come to get some drinks and the crudo and esquite because those were fantastic. but i'll pass on their tacos hard.
