I can honestly say I was surprisingly happy with my visit . I had my mind made up “ I’m in P-town except the worse “ but I really enjoyed the food , the service and the atmosphere, from the DJ to the hookah . I’m gagging that I didn’t complain , it was really good , and I give them the upmost respect for doing black business right . WOW just wow I was so surprised, Good Job team
Food was good but Very expensive I ordered two appetizers and lamb chops. The two appetizers was the stuffed shrimp and crab egg rolls. Also the drinks were OK in which I ordered 3. 2 Red Bull and vodka and one margarita which my total came to $148. That’s not including the hookah which was $50. I think that’s way too overpriced. Somebody let me know something different.
I love Privilege for the most part. I have had three parties here since they opened. I didn’t give 5 stars because some of my party had issues but for me everything I had was great. I highly recommend the snapper and salmon bites. This is a nice spot for a birthday celebration or girls night. They have a DJ and they even bring out the cake with sparkles and have you all hyped up and having a good time.
Amazing it was my birthday and we didn't have reservations so we sat at the bar my server was amazing 10's across the board 😍
Tiana was our server for a friends birthday yesterday and her service was EXCEPTIONAL. She had a great attitude, very patient and also made sure to communicate properly. She also made sure the DJ was up and going before bringing out my friends birthday cake! Both DJ’s were pretty decent. Overall atmosphere was pretty cool. Tiana made it a great experience!
I've visited several times before and had a good experience, unfortunately this restaurant is going nowhere fast if their service continues to be abysmal. We arrived at 6 and were seated in the back, directly across from the flower wall backdrop. Only one other party of 4 was there when we arrived. I went to use the restroom and when I returned we gave our drink orders to a nice-nasty nonchalant waitress. If that's your attitude, you don't need to be serving. It took TWENTY MINUTES to get two drinks!! Why you ask? Because ALL of the wait staff is doing a bunch of nothing. I watched staff at the main bar on their cell phones heavily laughing and talking to each other. Beside the flower wall is an area in which the staff congregate by the kitchen.During the evening we watched at least 6 staff members at any given time eating, taking selfies, talking on their phone and smoking hookah all while ignoring tables that requested service (my table and the table beside me) We requested a coal change for the hookah from our waitress which after 40 minutes never came and we were told our reservation was up and we needed to leave. I mentioned that we never got our coal change and there was not even an acknowledgement or apology. These restaurants that charge automatic gratuity are typically known to have poor service since they have a built in tip they don't even attempt to give good service. It doesn't matter how good your food is, if your service is trash, it's a trash experience. We won't be back.
So I went here for my friends bday. First off the menu only had four things on it. I ordered the chicken and waffles got me a dusse lemonade and that’s was going to be it for me. Our waiter convinced us to get a drink called love jones and it being happy hour we didn’t think about the cost. That little ass drink was 20 dollars. Then I get my bill and it’s 71 dollars. How the hell did it add to that. I’ll never go back here again. I didn’t make a scene because it was my friend bday but they will never get my money again. Promise that
Food is very very very delicious. 15 mins wait for waitress to even come to the table. More than 30 mins for mimosa tower. And when it was made I seen the waiter walk away from the bar ?. Food came before the drinks.
BUT THE FOOD IS GOOD I GOT CATFISH ABD GRITS. And also potatoes and bacon.

Went last night for my sisters birthday dinner. We arrived with more people in our party then we booked for and they were still super accommodating. My niece and I did the 2 for 60 deal, she got the lamb and I got the chicken. The food was amazing!! I wish I could remember our servers name, because he made the experience that much better! He was funny and made sure our whole party was well taken care of. There were 10 of us in total and he handled us all like a champ! 10/10 !

Very nice establishment. Not a great place for intimate conversations bc it’s very loud! Nice bar area. Please make reservations if you plan to sit down and eat! The bar was packed. Food was good but the drinks took a bit to arrive.

Celebrated my birthday here. I had a very nice time. Loved the atmosphere and the DJ. The food and drinks were good but very overpriced and small portions. Our server was good starting out but not very attentive. Our entrees arrived to the table before our appetizers and one of the appetizers we ordered was given to another table. Our server did more socializing than serving. 18% gratuity was added to each check. We had a party of 5 and our server made close to $500 for mediocre service. I enjoyed my time there but based on the service received, the overpriced drinks and the small portions of food, I will never go there again!
Parking: There is very little parking on the street and a small lot adjacent to the building.

My daughter celebrated her birthday at Privilege. What can I say. We really enjoyed everything. A most do again really soon. The waiters was amazing and had great customer service. The food was amazing( compliments to the chefs.) They really came through with the food. And the drinks were good as well. The atmosphere was really nice. My daughter really enjoyed her day. Plus, the Dj was playing the jams for sure. Everything was definitely a vibe. If you haven't been, you definitely should go check them out. I definitely recommend these places.

This was a great experience! I was very happy with the service food and drinks that I had. I would definitely recommend this restaurant/lounge to anyone looking for a great place to get dinner and catch a vibe! The esthetics are everything!
