The live music added a lovely touch to our evening, while the staff were attentive and friendly. Do try their passion fruit lemonade - it’s refreshing! I can't wait to return for another delightful meal! 🎶🍽️

I had an amazing time at The Soul Food Lounge! 🌟 The cozy atmosphere was perfect for a night out. We opted for the Grand Tasting, and it did not disappoint - especially the Korean BBQ short ribs and the fire maple fried chicken! Each dish was expertly seasoned without being overpowering.
The live saxophone music added a lovely touch, making the evening sing! 🎶 The service was fantastic; our waitress checked in frequently and made us feel at home.
Definitely a place to return to for comfort food and good vibes. Don't miss the passion fruit lemonade! 🍋✨
