  I just moved to the area today, and after several long, grueling months, weeks and days,I wanted to relax for a drink and a meal. My husband and I moved to South Carolina without any real knowledge of the area, knowing only that our way of life would be much less expensive than our previous state. So we literally stumbled upon this restaurant. From the outside, It didn't look very appealing, but after a long day, it was a fairly short drive from our new home , making it an easy choice. Additionally, we hadn't eaten all day and were starving , so we took a chance and went in. At first foot in the door, we were greeted by a lovely hostess. We headed to the bar for a seat where a few more staff, along the way, acknowledged us with a friendly " hello." The decor was so fun, exciting, colorful, and tastefully done! Even the restroom looked amazing...and clean! :) the decor is modern and tropical. The bartender, DeeDee was excellent! Seriously the best cosmo I've ever had! Not a difficult drink to make, however, I have had more horrible cosmos than good ones. This was literally a perfect blend. Onto the meal... I got a southern dish. I figured it was the best choice, considering my new future is in the South and I should try out the cuisine. Oh dear Lord! When I say it was amazing, thats putting it mildly ! Fried chicken breast, collard greens, yams, baked mac and cheese and cornbread. All freshly made, in house. I couldn't eat all that was on my plate and took a good portion home for leftovers. You could feel the love added to the meal, by the chef! As a bonus, we met a few really lovely people to chat with at the bar about our new surroundings. Everyone was very accomodating and I now remember what customer service is all about. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend trying it out. I understand it gets very busy later at night and they are open till 2 A.M. they have a really large screen for viewing those important football games too! Karaoke and music are also featured different nights of the week. I hope you all give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

  Me and my family went to oasis because we wanted to support a black business. We had already heard the restaurant was good from several people, but they mostly ate for brunch. However, we came for dinner and had a completely different experience. The staff First off when we were sat down our waitress seemed confused and unprofessional. She had an AirPod (talking to her mom) in her ear and was distracted by other tables. When she brought our stuff out she didn’t even know who got what, even for the drinks. She also would walk away and not ask any questions about how we were doing. When we confronted her she had an attitude and was confused. The other waitress who had to serve a big table did the work for her and apologized on her behalf. She also explained why some of our food was taking so long and checked in on us frequently (please use this waitress as an example when training staff). The wait We waited so long for everything it was ridiculous. We didn’t get our drinks for over ten minutes when we ordered them. Thankfully we ordered an appetizer not knowing how long we had to wait on our food. Over an hour had passed and the FIRST plate came out. My other three family members got their plate 30 minutes after, and I got my plate 30 minutes after them (pasta dish) which the good waiter had to explain that they ended up making the sauce by hand. But that is still no excuse for waiting over two hours. When we asked for a manager, we still had to wait over 10 minutes for her to come even though we could her standing at the bar. The food The food was ok. Like I always say the experience adds to the taste of the restaurant. My family’s food was fine even thought the lamb chops were tiny, my grandmas sides were cold, Mac and cheese was extremely dry. My food however, the pasta, was terrible. The sauce tasted like pure water, the noodles were drowning, there were no ingredients in the dish like the menu said, and it wasn’t even hot. The drinks (lemonade and sweet tea) had so much sugar in it, while the Pepsi was watery. Other comments When our unprofessional waiter was confronted about wanting a manager for the food and what not she tried to just blame kitchen staff as if she wasn’t part of the problem, as well as the restaurant. Most of us had no knives and when we asked for some she still failed to bring us knives the first time around. My grandma could not eat all day due to her medicine so it was very disappointing to have experienced service like this. No one should have to experience what we went through and have bad food in general. If you are going to make a restaurant train your staff on how to serve and cook, don’t do it for the aesthetic, because you won’t last long. We really do want this business to thrive but in order to do that please take your bad reviews into consideration and be resilient.

  Went to this restaurant with family to experience great food and supporting a black owned business. The only thing that is holding this restaurant back to become a thriving and successful business is its employees n service they provide to the customers that come in. What my family experienced while at the restaurant was unforgivable. The waitress we had attitude with us and didn’t know anything about the restaurant menu when we asked about the foods which were very limited. We waited over an hour for food to be served just to be served 10 minutes apart each so we all were eating separately. It to loud to the point we had to lean in and nearly yell to be heard. What is not understandable is that the restaurant was relatively empty with maybe two other parties in there but doesn’t make sense for the service to be so inconsistent. Once we speak our thoughts to the manager because at the end of the day yes the restaurant has its flaws but we still want to see this business succeed and thrive but the manager didn’t give nor show any energy to show any sympathy towards the situation and for that is the reason why I’m leaving this review. Overall be cautious of the service here. Don’t expect the service here to be quick and respectful service. Looking for a calm and quiet atmosphere may vary here and it’s NO kids menu
