Ombija says that the club is fashioned along sea food and jazz. The club was constructed in 2021.

“The restaurants deals with all sea food, all sorts of foods and drinks including cocktails. We were fashioning it around sea food and Jazz,” he said. “There is a bit of kienyeji (indigenous) food but other popular dishes are made of chicken, lamb chops and mbuzi (goat meat). We also have Ugali.”
