NOW let’s get to the food !!! I had ribs, cabbage, and yams... OMGGG it was a great size, portion wise ( I had to get a doggy bag), and the martinis hit the spot. The ambience, with the jazz playing was awesome, didn’t want to leave. Love this place !!! P.S. the chocolate cake for dessert was...
Read moreFor the New Yorkers who love to find the spots that feel family owned and nostalgic to the neighborhood - this place is it!!!
Or for anyone visiting and missing some good homestyle cooking and southern hospitality - I’m telling you this place is it!!!
In the literal best way: it felt like walking into a 90’s movie that takes place in NYC. The white linen tables, the tall wine glasses, the warm wood walls and glitzy mirrors, it’s just soo cute.
If you stop by, please ask Sherry to tell you about the 45 year history in its neighborhood, you won’t regret it!
Also, if you’re a Harry Styles fan you’ll love this...
