I visited Myste for a private event, and while the space itself is very aesthetically pleasing, the…read moreoverall experience was disappointing, mainly due to the food and service. The lounge is on the smaller side, which actually worked well for the event and gave it an intimate vibe. The owner was also very nice and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The menu is extremely limited, and you pretty much have to piece together a meal from a few items. I ordered the jollof rice and six-piece chicken wings. The wings were overpriced, overcooked, and had no flavor at all. The only options were sauces on the side (honey, ranch, or blue cheese), and when I specifically asked for honey drizzled on top with blue cheese on the side, that request wasn't followed. Even more frustrating, our server never came back to check on us or make sure everything was okay. The jollof rice was honestly the worst part. Instead of that rich, smoky flavor you'd expect, it tasted burnt with a harsh charcoal aftertaste. I've had jollof rice many times before, and this was nowhere close. I ended up sending it back. Because I was hungry, I forced myself to eat the wings, even though they were dry and lacked flavor. Overall, Myste Lounge has a nice look and potential, but the food and service really need improvement. A revamped menu and better attention to guests would make a huge difference.

Went to Myste Lounge with my boo thang on a Thursday night, and Thursdays are R&B night so it was…read moredimly lit, the playlist was smooth, and the vibes were definitely vibey . Service was great considering the place is small, it's hard to miss customers. It's a small hookah lounge in downtown Laurel, so don't expect a ton of space, but it's still a nice little spot to unwind after a long day or make a chill after-dinner stop. Hookah was smooth and the atmosphere was laid back. They do sell food, but we didn't try it this time. My only downside is the drink menu, it's mostly wine and champagne but overall it's a place I could see myself frequenting.

I went Sunday night to spend some time with friends who were in town for an event. I was certain that it was going to be packed in there, but it wasn't! I was able to grab a drink and get something that my nearby friend always takes pics of and makes me jealous: the fried wings... AKA the crack wings. They are still delicious! And they came out quickly. It doesn't look like they do karaoke anymore, but I'm glad to see they still do free pool on Wednesdays. I have heard from others how packed and slow it can get at peak times, but I am happy this wasn't that occasion. Hope they continue to do well. Also, I remember the building being white outside. It's blue now!

This is a black-owned establishment and you would think in the Upper Marlboro area service would be a little better.

Whether you're going to celebrate something special or just looking for good food and atmosphere, this place is solid The vibe inside is chill low but with upscale energy, but overall just a great environment. On my last visit, I went with sushi since that's what I was craving, and everything I ordered was hitting. Every item I picked off the menu was flavorful and well put together. The customer service was 10/10; polite, attentive, and moved really quickly. I didn't get a chance to try any cocktails, but their cocktail menu looked solid. I ended up sticking with wine for the evening, but I definitely plan on going back to explore more of the menu and try a few drinks because they have so many options to choose from. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking it out if you want good food and great service.

I was told it would take 45 minutes to prepare the salmon, so I waited. After 45 minutes, I asked for an update and was told it would be another 15 minutes. After waiting those additional 15 minutes, I checked again and was told another 10 minutes. When I asked once more after waiting the extra 10 minutes, I was told they were still waiting on the spinach. After waiting well over an hour with no food and no clear communication, I asked for my order to be canceled. This level of service is unacceptable, especially since this is the third time I've experienced this issue. I enjoy the atmosphere, but consistently leaving without my meal due to excessive delays is frustrating and disappointing. I hope management addresses these ongoing service problems so other customers don't have the same experience.

I pulled up for a Sunday brunch to hang with the cousins, a group of about 20, and let me start by…read moresaying--this is not a grab-and-go brunch situation. It's a Caribbean spot with a full brunch menu, so yes, the food takes a little time... but that's part of the experience, not a flaw. Given the size of our party, the service held its own. It was steady, attentive, and friendly without feeling rushed--which honestly matched the vibe perfectly. If you come in expecting lightning-fast turnaround, you're in the wrong mindset. Come to enjoy your time. Now let's talk food. I ordered the steak, and it did not disappoint--well-seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. But the real surprise? That biscuit and butter. Listen... I could've made a whole meal out of that alone. And the mimosas? Nice and light--exactly how our group likes them. I didn't get the oxtail and grits, but I didn't need to. One look across the table told me everything I needed to know--full-on bowl-to-the-chin action. If you know, you know. It wasn't overly crowded for a Sunday, but the weather had randomly dipped back into winter mode after teasing us with 80 degrees, so I'll give them that. Overall, great experience. Good food, solid service, and a vibe that encourages you to sit, sip, and stay awhile. Exactly what brunch should be.

I always assumed it was just a club/lounge experience, but when I drove by I always saw their signs about having the best suya in the area. I randomly decided to drop by while in the area making my PetCo run (while they were still around). Spectrum is deceptively large. In the middle of the day, it was also quite empty -- some fans were running (it was summer) but the music was still cranking! As a first timer, I honestly didn't know where to go, so I just wandered a bit. I made my way to the back area where it definitely had the party vibes -- lights, couches, bars, all of it. I went up to the register to order food... that was a seamless process. Despite the sign about suya, I got the Passion Chicken... sorry, I wasn't in a suya mood XD. It took about 15-20 minutes to prepare, so I just hung out in one of the fancy lounge seats waiting. My chicken was ready, with plantain and jollof rice... and I sat there, in a lounge, eating it. Not gonna lie, that felt kinda weird LOL! Especially given that I was all by myself in a party room. But you know what? It was a nice vibe! I finished my meal satisfied. There was no low to the meal -- though jollof is never spicy enough for me XD. I hear there have been renovations since I was there, so I need to return some time! Looking forward to it.

My favorites were the beef meat pies, salmon bites, lamb chops, and the fufu with egusi. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned. I also appreciated that SkyVibe offers more than just Sip & Paint. They have karaoke nights, happy hour specials, and other events throughout the week, making it a place you can come back to for different experiences.

The food here was delicious for my large group. So flavorful and well done. I'd certainly return to eat. Now, for the vibes. I hate loud music at a restaurant, but this spot had basically no speakers on their rooftop. So the sound was very low for the music they were playing. The music might've been coming from the tvs, but I'm sure they have the capability to turn it up a little so it's still background noise, but able to be enjoyed. The service was fast and efficient. Our server was very nice and able to accommodate our mixed spice levels with great recommendations!
