Friday date night 7p dinner had Fried Whiting and house salad. My man had porkchop dinner and housesalad, we both had happy hour Margaritas for $5 each. Food was delicious, very well seasoned. Drinks was on point as well. Club like setting, cloudy with huka smoke in the air I guess. Pleasant environment. Service and food was awesome.

This restaurant is very nice inside. However, the food and service does not match the atmosphere. There was a group of 4 of us and I was very shocked to see that we were charged an almost $25 gratuity fee.We were served with plastic utensils, cups and even the flutes for the mimosa were plastic. One of the guests who came along that was in her 60’s was asked to open her purse and show the inside of her bag, while other patrons who came in were not subjected to the same treatment. I really had high hopes for this establishment, however I will not be returning due to the service and treatment.

I Recently moved to VA and seen this place on TikTok and thought I’ll give it a try . Just to keep it simple and sweet the service was horrible when it came down to getting the food ( Our waitress was amazing so it doesn’t fall on her ) but me and my husbands went on a Saturday night and it wasn’t as busy so that worked out for us … our drinks were good and came out in a timely manner but when it come to the two main dishes they only brought one plate to the table and it took anywhere from 30mins-1hr to bring out the second plate ( no exaggeration). I had to walk to the back and let them know my husband didn’t want the plate anymore due to the overly long wait and they did try to make it up by allowing us to still get the food free of charge(which I appreciate because mistakes do happen ) but first impression is the best impression and that really killed it overall for my husband and me since I had my plate of food and was able to eat but he wasn’t . I really wanted to enjoy this place to be a little chill spot to go to but idk now . Also , they were out of ALOT of thing this night like the pasta , lamb chops , wings & hamburgers from what I can recall

It took 3 hours to get my food. The service is horrible. The music is nice but all other parts service wise are horrible. I would put -5 stars if I could. Server sucks, bartender is slow! Paid $100 for a reservation and they didn’t have my table reserved. I had to wait an extra hour. The owner offered me half off hookah but it was already half off because of happy hour. And of course the gratuity is included. Send help!!!!!

Customer service is trash from the waitresses. The food is good but the customer service is so horrible you shouldn’t even waste your time going . Never again

We came here for happy hour. My tequila sunrise was good and the food. Not a long wait on either. Slightly pricey for the food. Good vibes and cute ambiance. Friendly waitress. Would return.

This was my first night out in VA, and I don’t regret coming to this location. I really enjoyed myself, I’m not a drinker and I expressed that to the server Maurice. He kindly opened a brand new shaker for me. That was really nice of him. And the manager Deon was great, he was always checking on me and my friend. Overall the food was great and I’ll definitely be coming back again to try the brunch.

- Easily in the worst 5 service experiences I have had at a restaurant.
- The drinks are batched very sweet and dilute for happy hour, which is why they are $5 each because it is all juice or mixers.
- The food was honestly good for the happy hour menu, no complaints aside from the amount of time it took to get the food.
- We ordered a double lemon drop and received a strawberry lemon drop that was declined, then a double pour of lemon drop in a plastic pint glass instead of the normal martini glass and we were told to pour it from the plastic pint glass into the martini glass ourself that we sent back, then we were served another strawberry lemon drop, followed by the double lemon drop on the fourth attempt.
- I take that back about the food not having issues, the food order was wrong in addition to the drinks. We ordered a side of fries for the table that never came.
- We ordered a single shot that arrived when we were getting ready to pay the bill... we ended up sending it back because it took over 30 minutes for the shot to come and we were getting ready to leave and we were told that there was new bar staff that caused the error. It's very complicated to pour a shot into a plastic cup.
- Hookah was ordered with food and came nearly 1.5 hours after it was ordered after we had finished all of our dinner.
- There is a mandatory gratuity for roughly 20% that is never disclosed unless you print the receipt and look at it. Then, an additional tip was requested for this horrendous service...
- The ambiance had potential and fell flat just like the service. The restrooms were dirty and the walls and paint were flaking. The ceiling was not covered or finished with piping and ventilation exposed.
- The pictures online seemed promising, but it's just a very unimpressive experience overall. Wouldn't be surprised at all if it closes, which is sad given its potential
- Bouncer at the front patting people down and checking IDs on a random Wednesday at 6pm? I'm just trying to eat dinner...

Parking: Construction on the street really limited the already very limited parking.

Bad service start to finish. Was brought the wrong drink three times in a row. One of the wrong drinks was a martini in a water glass that I was told I had to pour into the martini glass myself since I had ordered a double. Waited 30+ minutes for hookah even though people who ordered after us were served before us. Forgot one of our dishes. Then we couldn’t choose the tip.

The server was nice, that’s about the only positive thing I could say. The service from the kitchen was extremely poor. I never got my wings, I ordered a $30 pasta that tasted like prego sauce, had 1 sun dried tomato in it and the chicken was so dry it was inedible. The lemon drop was good, the playlist was great, everything else sucked.
