Service or Lack there of?

by CSMobileUser2 at Citysearch

As my wife and I entered the establishment we were pleasantly surprised with the décor. But soon disappointed after being seated. As we sat for well over fifteen minutes looking at a menu. The wait staff wandered around with little to no direction. Take it from me this is pizza, not fine dining. In my opinion the place needs a floor manager to teach the staff BASIC CUSTOMER SERVICE. salesman ship 101. A door greeter is good but the real sales transaction occurrs when the orders are turned.

Nice Spot

by nan79 at Citysearch

This spot is really groovy. The vibe is cool and the food is real good. With the place being so new, it is expected to have some delay. The only thing I would suggest is having more servers on their busy nights. Otherwise I like the place. I'm happy they finally put a neo soul spot in south Atlanta where I can take my husband on a date and be in a calm environment. I was there this week for the black in America party and I had a good time. They have this drink called Purple Rain. It is awesome. And the food was amazing. I had the blackened shrimp and the Greek, they have come a long way from when they first opened, which is to be expected. I'm a regular at the bar, so I have seen the place improve and I expect them to continue. I would recommend this spot to all those who want a different scenery. I don't know any other place on camp creek where you have to step up your game just to walk in. I like to be in places where you have to put clothes on instead of seeing the average I’m going to walk out my house looking crazy is. I read the comment below and instead of trying to oust the place, suggest to them what they need to improve on. I have met the owners and they are very nice people who are willing to listen and learn to any suggestion you give them. I expect them to be around for a long time. Also this is a black owned establishment, so I will always support. I’ll be there today for the FAMU-Tuskegee party. Rock on….. Let your haters be your motivators Blackwood.

• Pros: Best Pizza in Atlanta
• Cons: Needs more servers
