Great place for soul food in Harlem -make sure you come hungry! Their Mac and cheese is very decadent but probably the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had in my life! They got the best of both worlds in terms of baked Mac and cheese and gooey stove top Mac and cheese. The collards and chicken were also great.

The strawberry Henny (punch?) beverage was smooth and also complimented the food we ate. We were surprised by our AMAZING server Brian with two glasses of champagne to celebrate.
