Reviews
The service was very good. The food was amazing. I got the fried catfish fillet with mac and cheese and sautéed spinach 10/10. The fried chicken was fried to perfection, it was crispy and packed with flavor. It is also located near the 2 & 1 train stations. You should check out this place, it’s definitely worth the try.
Everything was good. A1. The food was good. The waitress was nice and attentive. The sugartini drink was good. The band was awesome. The singers were great. Souf Le Frè (a breath of fresh air) was just that. I ordered the fried snapped to go because it looked good on someone's plate. $20 cover was well worth it.
My goddaughter had not really been beyond 42nd street, so I decided to treat her to an upper west side black owned experience, Sugar Bar! There were a few partons at the bar and a girlfriends table of seniors, but other than that, slow moving for clientele.
It was a wonderful experience, great, attentive waitress, bartender/hypeman, music maestro manager all made for a good 1st impression for my goddaughter. 👏
Very small, yet cozy establishment. The food was delicious, however, it took almost an hour for us to receive it, thus the food was hot, and satisfying , with large portions. Because of the size of the venue, it was very hard to move around. The entertainment was on point. I had the red snapper, which was huge and delicious, along with the street corner drink. Again the drink and entree was delicious. We also ordered the New Zealand lamp chops, and the seafood linguini. Overall the experience was wonderful, minus the size of the venue and the fact that the entertainment did not start at 8pm as advertised. There is also a cover charge to see live performances. I would recommend this establishment if you are looking for some good food, with live entertainment.
Despite these less than 5 star ratings, I had an incredible time, and I would absolutely return again with more friends. The overall experience was worth it. However, with all due respect, the facility and food could be better. It's an older place that could use a good renovation. The interior layout between the bar up front, entertainment stage, rear dining area, and upstairs bar was awkward. The entertainment was awesome, but I felt embarrassed watching the entertainers change in the open under the stairs just outside the kitchen. Meeting Valerie Simpson was PRICELESS! I love the place, and I will return next time I am in NYC.
Whenever I’m traveling from Connecticut to New York This is one of my go to spots. Great atmosphere and the food is phenomenal.
Appetizers (Catfish Strips, Crab Meat Stuffed Jumbo Shrimp, Fried Calamari and Jerk Chicken Wings) were good. The Crab Meat Stuffed Jumbo Shrimp was missing the Saffron butter sauce. Meal (New Zealand Lamb Chops with Collard Greens and Rice and Beans and Seafood Linguine) was excellent. Will definitely dine there again soon.
The staff is warm and welcoming! The bar is super fun and always with a great vibe.
