Thank God we came before they started charging for parking, because $50 to park in an 8‑spot lot at what is basically a hole‑in‑the‑wall is insane. Are y'all well? And I still don't know what vibe they're going for. The decor is all over the place... and then they have hookah. Hookah. HUH?!! The smell of hookah hit us the second we walked in, so we chose the patio. I loved the natural light, but the space itself was giving run‑down. The seat cushions looked like they'd been stepped on, dragged, and stepped on again. Now, the service -- I'll give credit where it's due. Our server was great. Attentive, friendly, on point. And the music was a vibe! If you come, come for the vibes and the vibes ONLY! The drinks? Meh. Not terrible, but definitely not memorable. I wasn't expecting much, and they met that expectation. The menu isn't huge, but a few things sounded promising. I ordered the Chef's Crab Soup, and honestly, it reminded me of stew beef or pot roast... but with crab. Weird description, I know, but it actually worked. It was chilly outside, so it hit the spot. We also tried the Grilled Oysters, decent flavor, but way too much breading. Then came the Shrimp Basket, which was... there. The shrimp had no seasoning, the fries had no seasoning, and the chipotle sauce tasted like absolutely nothing. The Seafood Fettuccine Pasta? NASTY. Whatever that sauce was should be illegal. Just no. I sent it back and swapped it for the Salmon Alfredo Pasta. Better? Yes, but nothing I'd ever order again.

The food was and drinks were excellent. The best part was that got to vote for my favorite drink, dessert and food. This event happens once per year. The tickets are sold online and they sell fast. It is well organized. They have plenty of policemen and staff guiding with parking and things. I have been attending this event for a few years now and I always have a good time. My favorite dessert was Keik. They had a combination of something I had not tasted before and I loved it. They also had a beautiful, pink station. The coffee rub burger was good. My second favorite was a birria taco. I forgot the name of the restaurant but it was the only one here with that taco. It was delicious.

Service falls somewhere between good and great -- friendly and helpful, though not quite exceptional. Drinks are the only real drawback during regular hours -- they can feel a little small and light for the price. That said, their weekday happy hours make up for it, and Crab Leg Wednesdays are my personal favorite. Another fun touch: themed nights in the back of the restaurant, where depending on the day you might find karaoke or games -- it's a nice change of pace and adds to the energy. The location is a bit on the sketchy side, so I'd recommend getting there early to take advantage of the free parking and to feel comfortable. Overall, it's a spot I'll definitely keep coming back to -- especially for the food and the weekday specials.

Positive: Our server Dianna was really nice and tried to accommodate us as much as possible…read more Issue #1: Reserved a section for my boyfriend's birthday 2 weeks in advance for 15 people, but when we got there we were given a section that could barely fit our entire group. We had to all pile up in one somewhat bigger, right next to the dj booth or spend another $200+ to sit in a section that would actually fit us. We ended up in a very high traffic area where at least 5 people had to stand the entire time. Issue #2: We were moved out of our section almost 20 minutes after we bought our last bottle (by a completely different server) because "another group was coming". There were several groups that had been there longer than us or about the same time as us and none of them were rushed out the way we were. One of the male servers grabbed all of our stuff and said we had to move. He only offered an alternative table after I asked where we would go when we still had drinks, hookah etc. even then he only offered us an outdoor space that only 3 of us could've sat at. Our group spent over $700 and got rushed out as if we weren't paying customers. He kept tapping my shoulder rushing me to move when I was gathering my group since everyone was confused. The experience could have been better for the amount we spent with them. FYI Parking is also $30 if you want to be near the entrance. Very unlikely that we'll return to this location even though we were really excited to check it out after seeing TikTok videos and reviews on the place. We had already spent money so we made sure to enjoy what we could but the service at the end is really what ruined the experience.

They have a nice selection of flavors to choose from, so there's something for everyone whether you like fruity blends or more classic options. The atmosphere really stood out too. Good music, comfortable seating, and a chill crowd made it easy to settle in and enjoy the night. The staff was attentive and made sure everything stayed fresh and running smoothly.

They had a dj who was good but could use some discernment on changing songs when people are vibing to it, to another song with less tempo and vibes. There seemed to be one server and she was doing it all it seemed poor thing, which equaled to slow service. She was pleasant and did not appear overwhelmed. They didn't have the mixers to make a lemon drop or too much anything I wanted so I didn't order a drink except water. They list liquor on their website so I thought it would be a good place for me and my husband since I don't drink beer but he does. They also list wine. They only had 1 wine available, which was a can of Stella Rosa Black. My husband called it soda lol. It was 5% alcohol, in line with the seltzers they have. I started to get one as they had some flavors I might like but I thought we were hitting another spot and wanted to save my alcohol limit on something I really wanted. I'm not sure if I'll be back to try it though. I ordered the jerk chicken egg rolls. I liked them, my husband not so much. They are not spicy which suited me fine and I asked before ordering them the spice level. The sauce that comes with it really adds the jerk flavor, not spice. They came out piping hot. I would order them again if we returned. This next oops was on me. I saw they had oysters, but didn't check to see if they had raw oysters, which my husband loves. They have a variety of baked oysters and some fried ones. I like them chargrilled so that didn't work for me either. As they say, reading is fundamental. Had I done my homework we probably wouldn't have stopped in last night. But I wanted to support black owned businesses on Juneteenth. I hope they make it as they're the only black owned brewery in Atlanta as noted on their website. There's parking around the corner. The restaurant as I could see was clean. The server was friendly despite being overworked. Go try them if you're a beer &/or seltzer drinker and like baked or fried oysters.

One of the best parts is how easy it is when you arrive--you can walk right in, pick your table, and get settled without any hassle. They have call buttons at each table to request a server, which makes ordering seamless. The service was really good--attentive, quick, and consistent throughout. The hookah itself was a standout. They offer a wide range of flavors, ice hoses, and use silicone bowls, which I personally love. Everything was smooth and well-prepared. There was also a DJ playing, which added a nice vibe to the atmosphere, and they have a large menu with plenty of food options. I tried the wings--they were decent, nothing special--but overall, the experience, hookah quality, and service make this a solid spot to come back to.

This has been my little hidden gem for about two years now. It's been my study spot. The food is…read moredecent especially the garlic naan, hookah is reasonably priced, and all the male servers are really sweet and welcoming. But there is a new lady who has been there a lot recently who kind of just throws off the whole vibe of the place. She always gives off an attitude and like she doesn't want to be there. Then when you ask her for anything, it takes her forever to bring it out. Then I notice you really need to look over your receipt with her because there is always some type of overcharge when I deal with her. But besides the lady, my only other complaint is the new mandatory 18% gratuity per ticket plus 3% card fee they add on! Like for one person they automatically add 18% gratuity which is insane especially when you have to hunt down ppl for refills and to go boxes! Oh and The espresso martinis are good but I think they water down most of their drinks and the shots, especially if you get more than one round

The menu has the typical bar food but was surprised that it included some items such as a fried green tomato BLT & caprese salad. I being a lover of fried green tomatoes had to order the BLT, it was absolutely delicious. As an appetizer I got the hummus plate and it's filled with pita bread and a variety of veggies as well as an olive paste to go along with the hummus. Definitely worth ordering! They have two bars, one downstairs which includes the dining area & then there is one upstairs that is more for socializing. The upstairs has a pool table for your enjoyment and a beer claw machine! First time seeing one! They have drink specials and I indulged in the blackberry margarita. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable on the items they offered. There is complimentary street parking but if you can't find any there is paid parking lots as well. I don't know the cost as I was lucky enough to find street parking. I definitely will be coming out to check it out for a night out with friends!

We couldn't skip dessert and ended up getting the chocolate cakes, which were delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. At one point, the power went out for a few minutes, but the staff handled it really well by bringing out candles and small lamps for everyone, which actually created a really cute and cozy atmosphere.
