The server and staff were very pleasant and professional. Hookah was delightful, food was delicious (I just wish the mimosa and grits trio flights were available), and music was good. We will be back!

Our server must was new because she couldn't remember our orders and was very distracted. I didn't like the blue light because I couldn't see my food clearly. We went during brunch so all menu items were available like French fries. Tables were small also

We visited this lounge for the second time, hoping for a better experience than our first visit. The first time, the music was extremely loud, more like a nightclub than a lounge. It was impossible to have a conversation, and to make matters worse, it took 20–30 minutes for a server to even greet us. When she finally did, she informed us there would be an hour to hour-and-a-half wait for food after ordering, so we ended up leaving. This time, we came back hoping for the same lively crowd but with a more balanced atmosphere—lower music, better service, and a chance to enjoy both the food and conversation. The music was definitely more manageable, which we appreciated, but the place was nearly empty with only three other tables occupied. I guess we picked the wrong night. That said, we decided to stay and eat, and the food was mostly great. The lamb chops were flavorful and tender, though unfortunately they weren’t served hot. I ate one and brought the rest home to reheat, but the flavor made up for it. The rice and green beans were well-seasoned and tasty. We also tried the fried corn appetizer. It was just okay—not much flavor. It would benefit from some added seasoning or a creative sauce, maybe a BBQ drizzle, spicy honey sriracha glaze, or a creamy dip like chipotle crema or garlic lime aioli instead of just the grana cheese topping. Overall, the food definitely has potential, and we’d consider returning—just hoping for a better crowd and more consistent experience across the board.

The salmon and grits was delicious. The music is extremely loud though. You can barely talk to each or the waitress.

We visited this restaurant for Mother’s Day, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was delicious—everything we ordered was well-prepared and flavorful. The space itself was clean, nicely decorated, and had a welcoming atmosphere. The music added a great vibe to the setting; it was a little loud for our first visit, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. The customer service was also excellent—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. All in all, a great spot for a special occasion, and we’ll definitely be back!

We had a reservation for 8:45 and we got there early and had to wait for our table for another 40 minutes. the hostess was great but the service from our server Amara J was awful. we never got checked up on and our food came out stone cold. after we got seated we still had to wait another hour to not only get our food but also our appetizer. the fact that they automatically get a 15% tip is very unsatisfactory. the service was not worth that at all. music was great and the energy given off that was good but everything else especially the food was beyond subpar. my steak was all fat and my boyfriends food was all cold. it was no point in getting our server or manager because it would have taken way too long and we were ready to leave.
