Pretty nice And serene environment, well hidden and quiet, music is low and smooth. Cocktails ain’t bad, food took a while but I guess that’s how it is everywhere else.

They started late but still had a 5 star brunch.How? The food quality was top notch whole the flavor/seasoning and spice levels were excellent.That grilled chicken tasted as close to Deep Southern grilling from the USA that I've had since evening here.The desserts were intriguing and exceeded expectations as I don't care for desserts but that chocolate strawberry pudding type dish tastes like ice box pie from home. The Chapman offered while we waited during their setup was superb. Nothing over powered anything as everything complimented each other dish.Orange juice. Waffles. Pancakes. Small chops. Jollof rice. Salad. Parfaits. Cookies. Chocolates were also offered. See pictures for the full view.
