- KaMaria BainMay 19, 2014Love this place! Had so much fun seeing Black Alley and Melanie Fiona! The valet parking sucks, though. Other than that, great place! I'll surely some back, just won't park here. Take the Metro!
- Kimberlyn FaulknerJuly 8, 2013The Gospel Brunch was wonderful!!! The food was very tasty, especially the catfish fingers and apple cobbler. The singing by Harlem Gospel Choir was amazing!!!!! I will def be back.
- Danielle RicksMay 10, 2012If you're going to the first show, get there when the doors open and be prepared to wait a while. While you wait, order dinner and a cocktail and relax a bit. Read more
- Reyhan ReidMay 20, 2012Great venue!! One thing though: Don't sit on the floor level towards the front. A crowd collects there once the show starts and then your view will be blocked.
- Rick ServossJanuary 18, 2016Get their artichoke and crab dip. Don't expect fast service. It took 30 minutes for drinks to arrive. Their large bites are huge, good for 2

- Megan SSeptember 27, 2012Pay the $15 for the Self Parking lot A. It's easy to get in and out and is super well lit! It's small, so get parking tickets early.
