    I love the establishment and the food. I definitely will be patronizing again. Something about the chicken wings was phenomenal. I enjoyed the customer service we received. It was a very nice ambience.

    Sweet chili Elevated Wing & Hand Cut Fries
    Joche' H.

    I had a great experience at Aye Tea Elle Elevated Tapas for a date with my husband. I made the reservation online and we arrived around 6:45 so we could enjoy Happy Hour. Parking was limited in the front of the restaurant, but we were able to snag a spot right in front. I did see additional free parking within walking distance as well. We were able to check in with the host easily and quickly when we arrived a few minutes early. As the host brought us to our table, I noticed the dim lights and nice decor that included pretty paintings and decor that reminded me of the culture of the city as well as our airport, with a hit of elegance. The host introduced us to our server, King who took great care of us. Once seated, King filled our glasses with cold ice water & lit a candle at our table. He gave us a moment to review the menu via QR code. Then, I had the pleasure of trying three different flavored lemon drops: strawberry, blueberry & peach. I loved that the strawberry one included the actual strawberry fruit with it, but all 3 were great. The blueberry flavor was sweet and did not include berries, but did have the lemon slice. The peach one looked a lot like a classic lemon drop but tasted like peach juice & I left feeling real good! Thankfully, I was not driving home. These were on the happy hour menu for $11 each (Note: only the original flavor lemon drop is $10 during happy hour). The drinks were 10/10! For our entrees we decided to keep it simple and opt for the aye bay bay wings (extra crispy) with ranch and hand cut french fries. Hubby opted for the sweet chili wings with hand cut french fries and they were also good. The cocktails came out quickly and so did our food. King kept our glasses of water full and checked on us continuously. We did not experience karaoke, but it was going to be set up soon and around the time we were heading out. Throughout the night, I found myself singing along with the music selection. The music was a VIBE! I enjoyed hearing a mix of music, mostly r&b that included Usher, Summer Walker, Sunshine Anderson, Neyo, Victoria Monet and Burna Boy. There was also a few hits from the 80s and 90s thrown in there! Overall, I truly enjoyed the experience and will be back soon.

    I love the ambiance of this restaurant. It gives grown and sexy vibes. There was a live band on Saturday night when I arrived. This place is good for a date night or an outing with the girls. The cocktails were delicious and shout out to Tye the bartender, he made sure to mix our drinks to our preference. The food was tasty and seasoned well. I will say that the prices were a bit pricy for tapas but it was an overall good experience.

    Old fashion & Pineapple long Island
    Mikki E.

    Dayja was our waitress today, and she was great. She was attentive and made great recommendations. When we arrived, there was a live band playing.  It wasn't crowded, and the interior was cute. I ordered the salmon bites, roasted potatoes, and fried green tomatoes. Everything was delicious and fresh. My date ordered the steak and eggs, and I almost ate off of his plate. Our drinks were nice and strong, just how we liked it. I ordered a long island with Pineapples juice and an All Da Smoke. Beautiful presentation. My date ordered his old fashion, and it was strong and sweet. I would definitely return because even though it was a little overpriced, I enjoyed the customer service, food, and ambiance.

    Strawberry lemon drop

    My best friend said this spot had good wings so I was sold on going. This spot is in the heart of College Park is in opinion is a best kept secret. This place does have limited parking in front of the restaurant and on the side of the restaurant. This place has a beautiful ambiance and resembles a lounge. My friend made a reservation and upon arriving we were seated immediately. Our server was very attentive and nice. She checked on us every five minutes or so. Highly requested the lemon drop which you opt for different flavors like blueberry, regular lemon, and strawberry. I got the strawberry and blueberry lemon drops. I started off with their Caesar salad and it was okay. To me, the star of the show was the entree. I got their buffalo wings and fries. The entrees were on point! My friend got the A Bay Bay wings which so will be trying next time around. This location does have an outside lounge area perfect for summer nights. Another great touch to this spot was the live band playing music. During the night we all went, the place wasn't super crowded which made the experience more enjoyable.

    Salmon on plain rice and 2 plantains.

    So....this was good, but not good enough for me to return. Parking was extremely challenging. We were charged a cover for "entertainment" which ended up being R&B bingo. I guess that was ok, but there were not enough cards or markers to go around.....so not sure why everyone was charged. The food is decent, nothing particularly amazing. I expected more wow factor. The space is small but cute. Nice for a date night. I love tapas because I can try multiple things, but these small plates are entree prices, so it didnt really make sense for me.

    It was my birthday and a good friend invited me to dinner here. I live in the area literally 1.3 miles away but had never heard of it. This is a black owned restaurant that also serves as a lounge. It is on the same street as the Fire Department just across the street. The decor is very cozy and intimate. Black table cloths on table along with a candle. We were seated very quickly. Although we went on a Saturday around 7:30, we didn't need reservations. We tried to make a reservation but they wanted a credit card. Our server took our drink orders and he also brought us a small container of popcorn to nibble while we were waiting for our food. As with most new restaurants there is no paper/hard copy menu. You have to scan a QR code to being up the selections. I understand the advancement of technology and the ability to change the menu online. However some eyes need to see it on paper. What we ordered: Sides and Appetizers Fried Green Tomatoes (4) $12 served with house made remoulade sauce. This was a miss. I had high hopes because Fried Green Tomatoes is usually a hit. 4 pieces of tomato that was mushy in the inside and lacked any flavor. They were pretty small and at $3 a slice it just wasn't worth it. Fried Brussels $8 I will try Brussels no matter where I go as long as they are fresh and not steamed. These were so good. I didn't want it to end. Entrees Aye Tea Elle Burger $18 Our handcrafted "beef" burger topped with cheddar or monterey jack, served on a grilled brioche bun topped with with lettuce, grilled onions, tomato, & applewood smoked bacon with french fries and secret sauce. This is a win! The burger tasted home made with fresh ground round meat. Nice well out together burger and the secret sauce was so good on the fresh cut fries. Red Snapper Filet $35 Pan Seared or Fried Topped with Caribbean Salsa served over rice pilaf & plantains. This was another hit. My fried ordered it fried. Beautiful plate of fish and peppers. It also had a slightly sweet taste of the peppers mixed with the fish. Chef's kiss. So very good. Dessert Butta Love 9 Butter Pound Cake with Caramel Drizzle. This was ordinary cake. Nothing fancy or significant about the taste. I love cake but this just didn't hit for me. Yoni's Famous Bread Pudding 12 topped with Ice Cream & Caramel Drizzle. My friend said it was delicious and enjoyed it.

    Seafood Mac
    Kelly L.

    Came here for a closer date night out (sometimes we don't like dealing with driving into the city OR paying an arm & a leg for parking). Hostess: super warm, quickly attended to us, and there was a white sage candle burning that made it feel super cozy. Server: Kelvin was attentive with out hovering and he was really nice. I felt like he came to see us promptly despite having a lot of tables. Drinks: All Da Smoke was sooooo good and a fun presentation! I also got the I-85 (or 75, can't remember lol) which was like a French 75. It was GOOD!!! My husband got the Playas Ball which he said was strong also. The drinks were strong without being liquor forward or bitter. Definitely 10/10. Food: we got the fried green tomatoes as appetizers and they were good but not the best we'd ever had. He got the burger which was pretty good and I got the seafood Mac which I would give 8.5 or 9/10. I would have liked more cheese than sauce BUT flavor was good and it wasn't skimpy on the seafood like most places. Ambience: 15/10!!! Music was fantastic. Everyone was rocking side to side and in the mood. I was happy to see it so full, it makes me happy to see Black owned businesses doing well. We definitely would come back! Parking was not too bad, we got the last spot on the row in front of the building.

    Tequila Lemon Drop
    Schaccoa B.

    The Southside FINALLY have somewhere I would come back to! Brought Hubby hear for Father's Day weekend on a Friday for the R&B Karaoke and the Happy Hour. Both did not disappoint! Parking: Parking is extremely limited on the front and side of the establishment. However, there is a free parking lot corner adjacent that wasn't a far walk. We had the pleasure of being hosted by Kane. He was super personable, attentive and quick with the orders - we love a quick turnaround on food and drinks! The Happy Hour menu is slim but still powerful. Keeping in mind this is a Tapas restaurant so don't expect too many large plates. They do have large plates available on their regular menu but utilized the Happy Hour to gage more of the menu. Hands down, the Tequila Lemon Drop had me in a choke hold. We sampled plenty from the veggie eggrolls, Chargrilled Oysters, Caesar Salad, Red Snapper Bites, Fries, Pota Bravos, Aye Tee Elle Burger and the Pound Cake. Everything was delicious and came out hot and fresh! The R&B Karaoke brought all the good vibes too. I highly suggest coming for a girls night or a guys night too as they had plenty of screens to view the games. They have a patio for hookah as well but we opted to sit outside this go around. Highly recommend to do a reservation as well.

    Sunday Brunch was great. Very accommodating of the large group I was with. Food was excellent. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. No complaints. Service was great. Will return again. Enjoy the band and DJ as well.

    We went on Friday night which is karaoke night. It wasn't too packed but a nice vibe. The food was good and the tequila lemon drop was amazing.

    Entry
    Jasmine J.

    11/12/22 - Update: I ordered takeout literally one week later and was highly disappointed. The food wasn't fresh and tasted refried. I called to place a takeout order and was told by Tiffany to order via Uber Eats. I placed an order & it was cancelled. I did not realize until being minutes away for pickup. When I called I was told the order was cancelled by Uber because they were out of Veggie egg rolls. AGAIN. No one called to let me know, so upsetting. The food is overpriced and not consistent. I doubt I'll be back. 11/5/22 - Visited on a Saturday evening. The hostess asked if we had reservations which we did not. When we entered there was not many people dining. It's a intimate space, with uplighting. Our server Lauren was helpful and patient. What we ordered; Trio - it includes Veggie Egg Rolls, but the restaurant was out. Unfortunately we could not get doubles of any of the options in the trio so we had to get Fried Green Tomatoes. I'm not a fan of those but my friend enjoyed them. The snapper nuggets and wings were really good. Lamb w/ mash & broccoli - cooked well & tasty. Nice portion Garlic Shrimp - This was okay, there wasn't enough sauce to dip the crusty bread. Seafood Mac - cheesy, hot, tasty but I could not taste the other seafood just the shrimp. Lemon Pepper wings - my favorite, crispy, well seasoned, not greasy & fresh! Ladies Night & the flaming margarita were strong & tasty. After dinner, we got a ride to Main Street in the Aye Tea Elle golf cart. The team was very helpful! I would return.

    The Trio Pick 3 from a Selection of about 8 Salmon Bites CalliPark Cauliflower Steamed Brussels Sprouts
    Cache R.

    Let me start this by saying I went on a Wednesday when they had a Dope Live Band playing nice mellow Jazz Music. Parking - Free Angled Street Parking in the front, around the side of the building, In addition to an outdoor parking lot across the street. They have a Golf Cart available to take you to the lot if you don't want to walk after having dinner. Reservations: Required. Make a reservation via Open Table, they do require a credit card to hold your reservation & if you don't show up you will be charged a $15 fee per person. Price Range: Food $7-75 sides to the entree Drinks: $8-40 from Beer, Wine to Crafted Cocktails Entertainment: $5 per person added to the check Gratuity: 20% automatically added to the check Bathroom: Unisex- Just regular, I couldn't take my normal Bathroom Selfie. Let's jump into this review. The place is small they do have a stage located in the corner to the left & outdoor patio w/heat lamps located to the back far right corner. The outdoor patio will be nice for when it's warm outside. The server came to the table pretty quickly to give us water & take our drink orders. She gave us time to review the menu to make our food choices. She came back for our food choices about 10 minutes later but without our Cocktails. We waited about 30 minutes to get our drinks and probably over an hour for our food. The Cesar Salad w/shrimp was very good the shrimp was seasoned and cooked just right I had about 6 medium-sized shrimp & the Cesar dressing was delish it could've been homemade, definitely ask for an extra side. Lol The fried lobster tail & seafood rice were both well-seasoned and the rice had a nice amount of seafood in it. The food portions are small(tapas). The Trio the ColliPark Cauliflower was well seasoned & fried just right to a golden brown, the Salmon Bites had very few pieces of salmon mostly fried bread. The steamed Brussel Sprouts I requested to be well done and they were still hard. They did give me another order but I took it to go so Im not sure how they turned out. We wanted deserts but since we had already waited for over an hour for our food we opt'd not to get any. The food portions are definitely TAPAS and do not equal to the prices on the menu in my opinion. I will return only during Happy Hour & I will sit at the bar. Nice ambiance, nice date night, its a small intimate spot, Great Live Jazz Band on Wednesday. The Bar is nice with 2 big Flat Screens and the Bartender is on point with the drinks. Overall due to the extended wait with receiving food & drinks I give them 3 .

    My second sidecar!

    How's the dress code/attire?

    What is the wait time for a table during peak hours?

    I strongly suggest reserving a table because some times they have unexpected big parties (e.g., celebrations, anniversaries, birthdays, etc.) so every day can be a different situation.

    The issue isn't the service/- it's letting influencers on Instagram set a completely different…read moreexpectation.... So yes this review is what you think it is .. Quaint is the best way to describe this location. Downtown college park maybe a block away from Nouvea . I would come here or possible rent the venue for a girls night in the back room. What I would not do is come here for a date night. (Per the IG review that lead most of us here) It gives off "grass wall" neon and strobe lighting / young adult ambiance. Like a jhene aiko -- summer walker music video set had a baby. Over 30 +years old. Don't do it . We went specifically because of the Instagram hype. Instagram will lead you down a rabbit hole to just any and everything. The venue itself is long. It's not big width wise at all. I cannot think of a venue to compare it to as it's very quaint . Maybe a small boutique is a good comparison. The playlist they had going was really good. No in ceiling speakers. Speakers were floor bass speakers . Now the service A1 we came on a Thursday a young man working the bar was very kind and very patient especially seeing as he was by himself. Everyone came by the drink special advertised on Instagram. The young man was so busy we weren't sure what brand of tequila we were drinking, but you do receive your flight. The back room is "hidden" past a bookshelf . The front area is a small bar with maybe 6-8 bar stools. We did not order as we knew we weren't staying long. we ordered the $10 tequila flights. 2 each ... and left. Again the service wasn't the problem the expectation versus what you receive personally turned me off. It is not meant for date nights, maybe small gatherings or catch ups with your girlfriends. The same gentlemen working the bar was also back-and-forth between the kitchen so food service was probably gonna be long as well. I probably will not be back but again it was an OK experience the venue itself could be cool to rent out.

    Frostology is incredible! While wandering around Atlanta, came across a lil strip of restaurants…read moreand bars. LUCKILY I spotted an inconspicuous sign that said "Frostology". This intimate spot has a $5.00 hh everyday from 4-10. I had the espresso martini and the red wedding. Pics in this post. You can tell when a bar owner loves a craft cocktail. Each drink had layers of flavor. The espresso drink was on the hh which means it was about half the size as the other drink. Totally worth it. Especially if you're bar hopping. Staff was helpful and warm. And the atmosphere is quirky and unique. There is a lil room in the back where they have Kareoke. Very unique spot. Would definitely come on the regular if I lived in the area.
