Stories (Lagos)

Lovely fine dining spot with well thought interior design elements, food was delicious and pricing was fair. Enjoy #lagos

Nice aesthetics, great for pictures If you’re looking for calm soft place, this works. Food was good nothing out of the ordinary but no complaints

We had my friends Birthday Dinner there yesterday. We booked a Table. (They have a minimum spend of 200k for a table, we spent about 260k). The food took 1hour 15 minutes to arrive. Mind you, we were just 7. We ordered different simple meals, like pasta and Pepper soup and Mashed Potatoes. I had a strawberry Daiquiri, it melted completely before the food arrived. The waiter apologized and kept smiling (that was a little aggravating because we were starving at this point and trying not to seem like we were checking on the food delivery too much) My real issue was when we wanted to take a group photo, we had finished eating, everyone was heading out when we clocked that there was no single picture of the birthday dinner. We asked our waiter to please get a picture of us and he obliged. He noticed the pictures were dark and proceeded to turn on the light. Next thing we know, a lady starts to shout at him to turn the light off. And when I ask her what the problem is, she proceeded to roll her eyes at me and continue to say things I didn’t understand. VERY RUDE! Now, as much as I understand the many rules associated with picture taking in restaurants in lagos, I want to ask when it became a crime to immortalize a memory with ONE GOOD PICTURE! After a birthday dinner?! We didn’t come there with tripods or lights, we had paid our bills, had our laughs and we were on our way out! We were also all SEATED! In our booth! Backing the wall, not disturbing the other patrons! I won’t be back here. Ever. It’s a shame that people in the hospitality business in Nigeria consider even the smallest favours to be something to tussle over. It’s a shame. And it was a bad experience for me. My friend says this place has been around for a long time and I’m genuinely shocked. Because the snail pace of bringing food, the hostility and then small things (for example the table didn’t have a pepper and salt shaker. When my friend needed extra salt on her chips, they brought it in a tiny ceramic bowl. She had to dip her hands inside to pinch the salt and sprinkle! In 2025? You people don’t know that’s nasty? So what will you do with the remaining salt? Because how are your customers pinching salt from bowls?!!!) I rest my pen.

I had one of the worst time yesterday, especially with my assigned waiter Ernest, we sat for about 30_40 minutes before our order was even taken and another 40 minutes for our cocktails to come. We kept asking Ernest for ETA on our drinks and he kept smiling and was very rude while talking to us like he has know us for years. I complained about his attitude and he was trying to raise his voice on my sister. Our food finally came and after a while when we asked for water he told us they have closed and we could get water. I had to ask a couple of time more. I felt so unsafe by Ernest and to think they wasn’t much people. And after the whole ordeal when it was time for our bill he spiked the bill up and I caught him, then he started giving excuses. That is no way to act or behave towards a customer. Your waiters needs to do better. And your establishment need to do better, the services isn’t worth the money spent there

Everything here was a 10/10, except the wait time. My goodness. The meal tasted really nice and the staff were lovely and really helpful. I just wish the wait time could be reduced a bit. The atmosphere is nice and everything was just on point. I recommend.
