I would recommend to the management staff to hire a consultant when hosting a big event such as the "Election Day Soiree". The service me and my friends received was poor due to the fact, there was limited seating actually for dining and no way to differentiate the patrons that were actually dining versus who was just sitting down to watch the Election results. There should have been someone in the management staff to direct and separate the two and there should have been room to accommodate both. We waited for two hours only to never been seated. The hostess in the front was useless. The hostess in the front was useless. She never called our names to be seated, never followed-up with us. And to make matters worse, the live band and its singers would have drowned out any names from being called, so go figure! Was that on purpose? In any rate, I am a huge supporter of African American owned businesses however, there seems to be quite an absence of African American establishments that are run with a business mind. Anyone can "start" and "open" a business but one that is sustainable and successful, must be ran with a business sense. At the end of the day, it should not be just about making money. Sustaining customers, especially in this day and age where there are limited incomes/entertainment budgets, etc., should be a priority. With that being said, I would never patronize this establishment nor refer anyone. For soul food, I rather travel to Winston Salem and dine at the Nitty Gritty where the food is awesome and customer service is impeccable or continue to patronize the services of the restaurant establishments in Downtown Raleigh (Poole's Diner, the Big E, Oro, The Busy Bee, etc.). Where you will never leave out hungry or unsatisfied!

Get a website so when people want to have sweet 16 parties, they can see the prices and rules for the star bar. I am Kennedy and I want to host my sweet 16 party there this December 2012 and I need to know rates.
