    Absolutely phenomenal service from the entire staff - hostesses, waitresses, bus boys and hookah men. My friends and I frequent a few times a month and always have a great time. The food is delicious and the hookah is some of the best I’ve ever had. Love this place, it’s a must try!

    It's essentially a hookah lounge. The food is fine, but I had to wait like 30 minutes to be seated even with a reservation. It could also use some more heaters! Overall it was okay. Wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but if someone wanted to go I wouldn't be opposed!

    Great experience with outdoor dining . Only Yale away was the heat situation was not good as we were put near the non working heater and when asked they couldn't fix it or it would mess up the rest of heaters serving other customers. Good was good and drinks were tasty and hookah was good .

    Food was great. Service was horrible for us, our table was definitely neglected. My friend had a really salty sandwich and she wanted some sprite to wash it down. I’m not exaggerating, we tried flagging our sever for over 30 mins (in the meantime she was seating and SERVING new customers at tables 1 foot from us) and ignoring us when we clearly called for her). We finally got her attention and waited another 20 or so mins for her to come back with an attitude saying “oh I thought I already told you, we are out of sprite, here is a coke on the house” and bolted. Soda was flat, like disgustingly flat. Then we waited another 30 mins trying to get her attention so we can have the check and leave. We start heading inside(we were seated outside) and we hear our sever running after us saying “are you guys leaving”. She didn’t pay any mind to us the whole time we were waving and calling for her but when she saw us leaving the table without paying she all of a sudden pays mind to us. We get inside to find someone to print a check for us and the manager blocks our pathway and rudely says “we are closing and not seating anyone currently” and then our server bolts through the door running to beat us to the counter....I stated we have been waited for over 30 mins to pay for our meal. She prints our receipt and gives herself a 20% tip! I am a very generous tipper, but for you to neglect us the whole night and proceed to give yourself a high tip, that’s just weird. Weird vibes. Servers speak in another language in front of customers, very unprofessional. There was only 1 server who was nice. Young man, tried helping us even though our sever wasn’t. I’m not one of those people who will “never come again” they have a great restaurant, but they should be more hospitable and professional. Working as a healthcare worker in this pandemic hasn’t made me bitter to my patients. They shouldn’t be bitter to their customers.

    The hostess girls are great. Always polite and try to accommodate, even during these weird covid dining rules. If for hookah. It’s good. Just the guy who turns over the coals needs to come more often so it doesn’t burn the tobacco

    My wife and I have been coming here for years. One of our favorites spots in the city. They’ve even managed to keep the magic during Covid. Their outdoor setup is fantastic. The service here is SO attentive, the drinks are great, and the food is delicious. If you’re looking for a romantic night out or just a cool well setup place to eat outdoors, this is your place!

    The ladies that work there were very rude, they did not have indoor seating available so we had no choice but to sit outside. I asked if I can be moved inside as soon as something was available bcuz it was raining n chilly and she simply answered “ No”. I asked why? And she stated “ if u want to sit inside u have to stand at the entrance for an hr which is the waiting time or u can eat here ! “ she was not accommodating at all and you can tell she genuinely did not care. I would never go back.

    No other place I’ve been to has a 90 minute rule. I think it’s kinda outrages when you’re trying to relax and smoke your hooka in an hour. The restaurant never had the chance to have outside seating and indoor is much smaller so owner needs to stop being greedy. I get that he wants to turn more tables around but I don’t see the value of spending $200 every visit for 90 min. It also seems that they pick and choose tables to turn depending on how much money you’re spending. Not going back glad my usual spot PERGOLA is open.

    I reserved a table for my birthday and I specifically asked that I wanted to sit inside and called the host beforehand the day before. The server was extremely rude and she said there’s no tables then after 20 min they finally sat us inside . It was hard to place a drink order because the server barely checked on us . We had to get the bussers because they were more attentive than the servers . Every drink that we placed took about 15 min and then I realized she was smoking cigarettes and touching dogs outside than being attentive to the tables. They sang happy birthday with the cake that was upon request which was nice but when I came home I opened the cake and more than half the cake was eaten by the staff and they cut us four slices which were pretty small . This place was highly recommend but it wasn’t what it was meant out to be . They advertised an ice hose and a fruit base which they don’t have . If I could give this a 0 star I would. When the server brought out our bill she never said it’s included I work in hospitality and I have never been to a place where I just didn’t feel comfortable there.

    This place was worth the experience. Food was great; ambience was good; next door establishment played entertaining music! My ONLY con is that my guest and I waited nearly 10 minutes, if not more, for plastic straws. Otherwise, service was exceptional.
