What Diners Are Saying

Some noted
Not good at all.
I am writing to express my disappointment with my recent dining experience, which fell well below reasonable service and safety standards.
Recipes are changing. I ordered the lobster omelette. It had like cheese not melted. Not as good as a previous recipe.

“my first and second time my truth were equally pleasurable.”
my first and second time my truth were equally pleasurable. The food is amazing. The servers are overly accommodating and I love it for me and you if you choose to visit here in the video, you will see my jerk Alfredo omelette, which was delicious.

Delicious!! Omg! I had the lamb with eggs and it was like a whole new world open up. Didn't wanna advertise so people don't keep me out, but, this is a JEWEL!! A must in the neighborhood! Service is extraordinary, you feel right at home 💜💜 This was the lamb with eggs!

“It was my birthday so the waitress (correction, owner) let me have everything my way.”
It was my birthday so the waitress (correction, owner) let me have everything my way. Whatever I wanted, I got. I'll def be back. I was in foodie heaven. Smiling moaning and dancing (twirling my toes). Portions were so generous I couldn't eat it all in 1 sitting. Come on Truth... I got brunched up!

This review is long overdue. Every time and I mean EVERY time I’m home (Chicago), I’m here! I even went twice in one weekend 😂 It is always good! My favorite is the lobster and grits, but baby those lamb chop are delicious too! If you haven’t been.. get there! The staff is always nice and the owner is super sweet and always welcomes me back with open arms! Truth…is THE TRUTH!

My sons and I frequent this restaurant, but this is the first time I’ve left a review. The staff is friendly, food is amazing and the cocktails are delicious. The spot gets full quickly, so you may have to wait, but it’s worth it!
