The pictures shown is not what it looks like now. Not even near that elegant anymore. It was 1st owned by an African gentleman that brought elegance and class to the neighborhood but apparently could not attract American people in the area. It was strictly a restaurant that you could also reserved for private weddings and parties. It was absolutely beautiful. Something you expected to see in Beverly Hills.

We had been trying to request an Uber or Lyft nonstop since we arrive to no avail and then were stuck standing on the curb as they locked the building behind us at 9:20. It’s not their fault SoFi is poorly built for transportation but I wish we wouldn’t have been forced to stand on the curb for over 40 minutes when they are posted to be open that...
