Ola-oluwa O.★★★★★ — A lovely place right in the heart of Ikoyi. There is plenty of parking, the ambience is great, and the food was delicious. It is definitely a solid choice for brunch.
Christine O.★★★★★ — Very fine dining, awesomely calm music, and very picturesque. Wait time for a table was not up to 10 minutes, and I specifically appreciate Adaeze for her wonderful service!
Omotayo S.★★★★★ — Nice place. Great services and very good meal portion.
The meal is real good value for money.
Elsie's S.★★★★★ — Horrible customer service and super long wait times. Lack of proper communication. Food is good yes but not worth the stress you have to pass through to eat it.
Richard B.★★★★★ — With two of my colleagues from work, this is our favorite place to eat swallow, and we have been multiple times with no complaints.
The service is great, the staff is courteous and I have only had to wait for my food longer than I'd have liked just once out of the several times that I have been there.
You can even phone ahead before you get there.
The food is very nicely prepared and tasty. I usually have the Oha soup with Pounded Yam or Poundo.
I can vouch for the Afang and Fisherman's Soup too.
Did I mention that they have cocktails? 😁
The ambience is serene, low-volume music would be an improvement but you wouldn't mind not having it. They have chairs and sofas, with seating arrangements for different possible groups; two-person date, groups of three or four, even a family table. There is also a small outdoor balcony area to seat maybe two sets of two people each.
I like to sit upstairs but there is a nice space downstairs, the kitchen is also downstairs as well as the bar for drinks.
The only downside is parking. The designated parking space is the horizontal area right in front of the entrance.
It can park only 3 cars, the alternative option would be street parking.
All that being written, they definitely earn a 5-star in my books.
wasiu S.★★★★★ — Had a family dinner here. Nice ambience and food was okay. Just that the fisherman soup can be much better in terms of the richness in the proteins. Howver, the kids loved the jollof rice and the egusi was on point.
A good place to have nice meal and friendly hangout.
