My wife and I are both foodies and former restaurant workers. We’re well traveled and have eaten at incredible restaurants including Michelin star restaurants in the US and Europe. This is the best meal we’ve ever had. Every dish was bold but somehow incredibly complex. The drink pairing with the tasting menu was much more innovative and interesting than a typical wine pairing. The service was perfectly paced and every staff member had an infectious enthusiasm about the story and mission of the restaurant. The ambiance created an incredible overall experience as we were encouraged to view the art installations between courses. The entire experience was nothing short of profound.

We had a great time at Akwaaba Tea Salon. The food was fabulous and the service was impeccable. It was like we were having tea in the hostesses’ home! While there were numerous teas to choose from we all had the tea recommended by our hostess, great choice. In addition to great food and service the conversation were entertaining and we were given recommendations of where to eat and places o visit. Can’t wait to go back!

    This was my first time back since Vespers had undergone new Ownership/ Management and I must say I had an absolute great time. The service was great, the bartender is an absolute doll and the owner introduced himself to me and was very pleasant and welcoming. I’ve had many birthday experiences here but this one in 2025 was the best so far. I will definitely be back and I recommend anyone who desires a great “Turnt up”party brunch to book now.

    I have been here several times and each time it only gets better. I know the menu and everything I have ordered has been spectacular. The servers are very nice and super patient. The food is so good. It is wholesome yet appetizing. I highly recommend this spot.
