  • International Nova Single Release

    International Nova Single Release party (Controla)

    At Door 54 in Atlanta

    By: Cece Hymes

    Glad to be invited to Billboard charting urban Latin artist International Nova single release party. This was a great event at Door 54. The DJ played some great music to keep the crowd entertained. It also was sponsored by a new drink called Coladka. They were giving out shots for people to try. Not much of a drinker so can’t really say how it tasted but make sure to try it out and give me some reviews on it.

    The song Controla is a nice song by International Nova featuring Petey Pablo. Nice to have a good Latin song you can jam too. Very proud to see this song playing all over the world. It’s a song you can dance too and just enjoy the vibe.

    International Nova gave much love to all the fans and also all the media that was in the building. I love seeing artists come out and go up to everyone to say hello and acknowledge everyone that came to support. I saw people from Texas, Florida, North Carolina and different places that came to Atlanta to support this artist.  

    Very Proud of International Nova and he gave the crowd an exclusive of his next single that he performed which sounds really dope so stay tuned to what this artist has going on. Tune in and tell me what you think of the song.

    I love coming to Outback Steakhouse. Their steaks and ribs are good. Never really had a problem here and I have been a couple of times. This time I got the Ribs which were so good. Our server was really nice and checked on us a couple times.

    The food did take a minute this time but not too bad. My aunt was with me now. Her view on the other end was a 2 she said her food was not hot like the other people’s food that was coming out steaming. She sent something back that wasn’t good to her but she loved their drink specials. She gave it a 2 to 3 only because we had a good server.

    That goes back to showing that customer service goes a long way because she was so nice and helpful she would come back. The food was not too great for her but she would give it another chance. I always say always treat the customer right, it shows even when other things are not right. You know that the team is great and that’s always good to me.

    Would you try a place again if the food was not that good but the server was great? I know I would but glad I did not have any bad vibes about it.

    Check it out and tell me what you think……….. Here is pics

    This was my second time at the Yard House. Both times I was there I had great experiences. The food has been great, customer service was great. I haven’t had a bad vibe here. I really like this place because it has an outside and inside seating.

    The first time I was seated outside it was kind of a chilly night but they had the heat burners outside to have some kind of warmness. They also give a nice size of food. I really would recommend this place to anyone that wants great food, drinks and customer service.

    Another thing I love about this place is that it accepts everyone you see all cultures here enjoying food. So I am giving a great review on this restaurant. Tell me what you think? What is your favorite meal here?

    Here are some pictures of our plate, very good and Yummy……………Until next time.

    Where do I start with this place whewwwww. First I heard great things about the food here. Everyone says it was a long wait maybe 2 hours but the food is worth the wait. So, we have our women’s brunch once a month and this was the place we picked.

    Sunday we went out here and it is a long line out but we got there early. Our brunch time is 12. We got there at 10:40 thinking that’s good enough time so when the group got there we could be seated by 12 no later than 12:30. Whew was I wrong we got seated around 3 something. A long time to wait on some food but everyone we talked to out there was saying the food is great and it’s worth the wait. I am thinking what food is so great that you will wait 4 hours to eat. I am like this food is gonna be so good I can’t wait.

    So, we waited for a nice day outside and then a fight breaks out and someone says he has a gun so now everyone is running, plates have been crashed people are chasing people. I am like oh my gosh we are all running because a bullet doesn’t have anyone’s name on it. So now it’s like we waited so long do we leave or stay. So, things happen, it clears up and business continues. So we stay and wait another 20 minutes and then we are seated.

    It’s nice inside, everything looks nice and we are seated. The customer service was nice and everything so I ordered the big pancakes real fluffy. It was ok but now I am asking if this is worth the wait. 4 hours for this and it’s no free refills on drinks. I am like wow.

    This was not how I wanted to spend my Sunday all day waiting and then the food was ok but not worth the wait. What I can say is it was an experience and nothing wrong with trying something new out.

    At this point I would not go back but I don’t think that it is a bad place at all. So the question is, is waiting for 4 hrs for some food worth it? Would you do it? Maybe if I ever go back and have no wait line I will try something new because the pancakes were ok but not worth the wait. Glad to be able to support a black business though.

    Much respect to black owned businesses continues to grow and much respect. Hope that they get better with the time they wait for people or limit people to seating.  I Saw some celebrities in the house also but my first impression wasn’t the best.  Congrats on everything.

    Got a chance to try this place out. I have been meaning to get in here since it opened. Glad I got a chance to go . The customer service was very good. They checked on us to make sure we had refills and everything. I was very pleased. When the customer service is good you always will come back. Great service needs to be everywhere you go. I always believe that customer service should be number one when in that type of business.

    Next the food was delicious. Those crab legs and shrimp were nice and fresh. Was just enough for what I ordered. The sauce was good. Everything was good. I like juicy crabs but this place I definitely would come back and enjoy.

    It had a live DJ that had us jamming in our seats. It wasn’t ratchet music, it was just good music with a different selection of styles. So it was like you were jamming in your seat while eating just enjoying the vibe. It was really cool to see that.

    It was not crowded at all so that was a good thing. All I can say about this place is that the first experience was a great experience. I definitely will be back and will tell people about it. Glad to have a seafood place close by also. Never can go wrong with some good seafood.

    If you have not checked this place out and love seafood. This place is great for you. It’s close to Stonecrest mall and you can’t miss it. Great food, vibes and music can’t beat it.
