Customer Reviews

This restaurant is great food is excellent! I recommend the henny wings, salmon burger and of course the grilled pork chops. The vibe is elegant and upscale. I remember this place back in the day as "313", now it meets the elevation of the neighborhood. Stop by ask for cookie.

For starters we found this place on TikTok. We started off with the egg roles which were phenomenal with this sauce it had a sweet and spicy flavor to it which shocked my taste buds. I had the Cajun salmon Alfredo which was bomb! Dip the bread in the sauce too. 10/10 I recommend
