The food at this restaurant was delicious. But the environment and service made is just average. We arrived for lunch at around 1:00 pm and the place was completely empty. As soon as we were seated the power went off and this happened several times during our lunch. The waiter came over and took our order but several of the items on the menu were not available. But he offered to prepare a fish that wasn’t on the menu cooked to our liking. After we ordered he brought our drinks, and then we waited an hour and a half to get our food. During our wait, they didn’t offer any complementary drinks or snacks, they just kept saying the food would be out soon. When we finally got our food about 2:30 pm, it was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. So if you come here, have a lot of patience, and don’t have anything scheduled after your meal.

Nice place, but Vintage , it has this old school vibe , then they have all these activities lined up for everyday of the week, games night , salsa etc .. Nice meal, but their shawarma is not nice ...lol , their fresh juice is awesome , Toilet , not modernised, you could actually use that place for a bridal or birthday shower , it has space , like enough space... their meal delivery is fast , when you order, they prepare the meal faster than I expected... generally I'll give them an 8/10

Sincerely, this is a fantastic and relaxing place to be after a day of real stress in Victoria island. It is Located in a quiet and secure environment, and can therefore be easily be missed. I visited with a couple of friends and have not stopped propagating the brand for free since then.... I particularly enjoyed the Nkwobi. It was no doubt the best I ever had. The chicken pepper soup with corn bread was also on point. The drinks were extra chilled too. And the Gents.... Clean and tidy. I also appreciate that the manager /owner went round saying hello to customers and the fact that every customer was implored to complete a feedback form.

While I have rated the restaurant a five star, I feel they can do better with the prices... I am not saying that the rates are too high, however, the rates/ prices stated on the menu are exclusive of VAT. Hence, it is difficult to plan and stay within budget. I recommend that the rates in the menu be updated to include the VAT (and /or sales tax- if applicable) to avoid rude suprises. This makes customers more at ease when ordering and enjoying themselves. I hope this recommendation is effected as I would definitely re-visit and would appreciate that this is considered worthwhile.

Nonetheless, thumbs up to smokey bones!

Never heard of this place till i went, seemed like it's been around for awhile. Large indoor and outdoor space and good location.

Pros: Great Dj. I had this burger, boy it was good.. juicy, messy and all things a good burger should be. Fair pricing too

Cons: customer service is 3/10, food took a long time, waiters didnt have an idea of the memu, they had 24 hours notice for dessert(when we asked if it was a mistake, she said no. I sure never heard you need 24hrs to order dessert in a restuarant.) I doubt desserts would ever sell.

Decent place, dont expect too much. Get the burger though. It's a best seller.

The place looked nice and cozy. Customer service was super. They just didn’t have what I needed that night so I had to opt for someplace else. Aside from this, the few minutes I spent there were good, and I will definitely find time to return.

It was Latin Dance day (Saturday) and that was absolutely fantastic fun. Fair range of drinks, okay meals and responsive service. Not upscale but decent.
