Wow... where to begin... this was disappointing to say the least. We stood at the door and the…read morehostess came from behind us in the door and then told to sit anywhere we'd like and i'd understand if they were just opening but at this point when we visited they had already been open for hours so not quite sure why she walked in behind us. The actual hookah was mid at best for D.C I was expecting a lot better. Then when it came to the bill we were charged $4 for each bottle (of which we were not even told there was a charge at all for water, and no we did not specifically ask for a sealed bottle all we asked for was water the sever never said tap or bottled, she just automatically brought us sealed) when on the menu they were priced at $3.50 sure it's .50 but when there was five that .50 extra could have almost bought another bottle. Also when she brought the bill she did not even show the itemized bill at first all she showed was the tip screen which upon doing the math from what we ordered vs paid we realized the amount was way higher than what we got and so we asked for the copy of the receipt only to find out there was ALREADY a service charge on there of which was NOT a credit card charge because we paid in cash and when asked what the cash total was she told us $60.31 yet the copy showed the cash price was $57.91 also they charge for charcoal, what am i suppose to do bring my own charcoal? i've never had to pay extra for charcoal they just include it with hookah price, absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention the vibes in this place is like an absolute funeral, all the pictures made this place look so fun and great, but no it was worse than funeral. I felt even more so like i was at a funeral after I realized how badly my wallet was robbed. I will never come back here.

I came to watch Game 2 of the NBA Finals, and I appreciated that it was the only game they showed and had the sound on. My waitress was courteous and accommodating all night, even helping me with some recommendations. The Havana Cider was a tasty spiked apple cider. Albeit small, the cheesesteak egg rolls had great flavor. The calamari was crispy, and the bang bang sauce added a kick and unique flavor to it.

Whether it's they're too busy and the kitchen doesn't wanna make it or it being brunch despite me being told previously they serve the brunch menu with their normal menu all day. Also came in for a game once and my table ordered a hit dog tower and the hot dogs were shriveled and overcooked :/ My most recent time coming in was cloudy and daytime and it was extremely moggy and humid. Maybe someday I can come here and not walk out feeling like they played in my face.

March 2021 - COVID Review:…read more I was invited to attend Pastry Codex's French Macaron Class that's hosted at the lounge and it was a great time! We all wore masks and had socially distanced and disinfected stations! Chef Michael is very knowledgeable and patient with all of us since we were all beginners. I know how finicky these little cookies can be, but I enjoyed learning how to make them and French buttercream from scratch! I may still be buying from the pros in the meantime.... but still really cool to say that I was able to make a batch that didn't look half bad! At least they tasted great though. He offers many other types of baking classes that I hope to be able to try my hands at in the future! Ms. Peacock's is on the backside of The Boardroom and there's a garage attached where you can pay for hourly parking. If you go on a Sunday, street parking is free!

I did not have the best experience. Upon arriving, my party of 2 ordered a hookah, which came out…read moreabout 10-15 minutes, which is fine. We also ordered two shots, wings, and chicken tenders. The drinks took about 25 minutes to arrive. We were not checked on for another 40 minutes and had to wave down the waitress who was sitting with her back to us while charging/playing on her cell phone. She seemed amused when we complained about the wait. The food had not yet come out and it had been over an hour since we ordered. We were the first people there (about 30 minutes after they opened) so it was empty; therefore no reason for the spotty service. They finally brought out our food 10 minutes after we asked for our checks to leave (the third time we had to flag her down). Pros: drinks, hookah Cons: service time, parking, the smell of vomit on the floors, wait staff I'd come solely for hookah in the future. Do better, please!

Parking was PERFECT. public parking garage underneath, and the elevator in the corner takes you up…read moreright to the front door of the restaurant. Could not ask for a better parking situation. Ordering was almost seamless. We got there at 1 o'clock, middle of the day on 4/18, plenty of empty tables. We went up to the bartender to take our order, and then gave them our table number and they delivered it. The QR code on the table only shows you the menu. It is not used for ordering, which was odd these days. Chill and super awesome bartender with the mother of all hickeys. Good pours. No Skrewball :-( I had the special, two hot dogs with tater tots. When it said double, I wasn't sure if that meant double the tater tots, but that meant actually two hot dogs. Really good. I also had the other special, the two pancakes. I meant to get the sausage, but they gave me the bacon instead. It was great. Well worth it. I thought that was the better value of the meals. They got a lot of board and card games. Very laid-back atmosphere, 90s and early 2000s pop on the music, comfortable seating, and good food. The prices were reasonable. This is one area that I think we are just going to have to deal with for quite some time. The give-and-take of prices,. Smothered tater tots, pancakes, two hotdogs with some tater tots, and three drinks came out to ~$55. NOT. BAD. Was it worth it? If this had been just a normal restaurant, I would've said no. It would've been more worth it if it had been about $40. But... nobody made us pay to use the board games, or the card games, and we sat there for three hours and had a really good time. So based on that, the fact they provide a venue for playing these games and hanging out for a few hours makes it all worth it. Really strange thing was that there was this balding guy with a beard that randomly showed up as a waiter. We had been dealing with a bartender, so this guy, kind of rude came on to us and we weren't sure what to do with him. He kind of blocked me from paying the bartender. Rude. Not a hangout spot every day, but certainly once a week, maybe once a month or more, definitely a place to meet up if you got a group. I was really surprised by the diversity of the people that were there. A lot of chess players, a whole table of middle-aged women, lots of different people playing games. I would give them five stars, but not quite perfect. The rude guy at the end was so odd. Otherwise, great location, great parking, the food was good, good value, and fun.

The last dj could use work his mixes were off..not a good flow. I don't smoke but the ventilation there didn't carry the surrounding hookah so I was okay in there. We went on a Friday night via eventbrite and it was free. The table along the wall we sat at was free as long as we ordered anything off the menu. Mocktail was good and I had a great time here.

The purple neon lighting creates this sultry, intimate atmosphere without being overwhelming. It's the kind of place where you can actually connect, laugh, and still feel like you're outside living. The music was a vibe. Smooth R&B blended with some Jamaican flavor and nostalgic cuts that made the room feel alive. It wasn't chaotic; it was curated. The sound set the tone without overpowering the experience. What stood out most was how comfortable the space felt. Beautiful crowd, welcoming energy, and that perfect balance between lounge and nightlife. It's not just somewhere you go to be seen; it's somewhere you go to feel good. Perfect first stop for my DC weekend. I'd absolutely return.
