Worth Every Mile! Before heading out of town for my family reunion, I came into Atlanta to see one of my girlfriends. I told her to find us a place where we could enjoy some good food and drinks. She picked **Fade & Facet** in Duluth, and although it was about a 40minute drive from Austell, let me tell you it was absolutely worth every mile. When we arrived, it was raining a little, but parking was easy since it's located in a strip mall. The outside is beautifully lit with neon signs, flowers, and plenty of photo worthy spots. I'm actually upset we got so caught up talking, eating, and enjoying ourselves that we forgot to take pictures! That just means I'll have to come back. As soon as you walk in, the vibe hits you. Great music, beautiful décor, a lively bar, and several seating areas including a private room where you can reserve space for hookah stick drinks... gathering. If you're looking for a girls' night, date night, double date, birthday celebration, or just a fun evening out, this is definitely the place. Wear something cute for the Photo ops We went on a Thursday evening, and I highly recommend it if you want to enjoy the atmosphere without the huge Friday and Saturday crowds. There was one birthday party there, but it didn't take away from our experience at all. Now let's talk about the service... **Jayda** was amazing, and **Lindsay **our bartender/Manager was everything you want behind a bar. She created one of the best drinks I've had in a long time the **Los Paradise**, made with tequila, mango, and lychee! It was beautiful, creative, smooth, and absolutely delicious. Every drink recommendation she gave us was spot on. She also made the experience personal because she sat down at Eye Level and talked to us and took our order. She was veryAnd just awesome There's a little disc on your table so pay attention to it because this is where you scan one side to get the menu and you can scan the other side to do a Google review. Do not ask for a menu it is right there on that disc.  What impressed me most was how the staff worked together. Whenever Lindsay got busy, Jayda checked on us without missing a beat. That's true teamwork. I also noticed a gentleman walking around who just gave off "owner" energy. Sure enough, he was! I had the chance to chat with him and hear the story behind Fade & Facet. He checked on guests throughout the evening, making sure everyone was enjoying themselves. You don't see that level of hospitality everywhere anymore. We ordered: * **Seafood Island Spring Rolls**  crispy rolls stuffed with salmon, crab, shrimp, peppers, onions, and pepper jack cheese. Absolutely delicious. It came with some red cabbage, and I actually wrapped the red cabbage around the spring roll and dip it in the sauce and man. It was so good!!! * **Grilled Lamb Chops** perfectly seasoned and served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus, and their sweet-savory plum sauce. Which took it over the top my girlfriend said while we were Order oh, I don't want them. Oh I don't eat lamb and she actually had my lamb and took one of my chops so annoyed you only get three they were tender too!  * **Oxtails**  rasta pasta tender, flavorful, and served with coconut rice and plantains. Comfort food done right. My girlfriend ordered lobster, but it missed but Linsay apologized immediately and fixed it without hesitation. That's what great customer service looks like. One thing I really appreciated was that they close at 11 p.m. on Thursdays, yet no one rushed us out. We were allowed to finish our food, enjoy our drinks, relax, and continue our conversation. That level of hospitality made the night even better. I also love supporting Black owned businesses, especially one that's been around and continues to provide such a quality experience. Between the amazing food, creative cocktails, attentive staff, music, décor, and all the Instagram/ tik tok worthy photo spots including the iconic Fade & Facet wall this place exceeded every expectation I didn't have. I thought I was gonna come here when I saw the videos on tik tok and just get Photo ops, but that's not what happened If you're in Atlanta or even if you're 30 to 40 minutes away make the drive. Grab your friends, your significant other, or your family and make an evening of it. You won't regret it. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Atlanta. And if you go tell them Dee from Philly sent you! read more

I was just out looking for something to do on my side of town, and Google showed me Fade and Facets. This place is laid back and nicely decorated. The staff was accommodating. She even took nice pics for us. We had a hookah and appetizers. The food menu was limited. I was surprised because they only had one flavor of wings, but they were flavorful. I would go back. read more

Never again. Add this place to the category of restaurants where they focus on having Instagram worthy decor, club vibe music, overpriced food and drinks and horrible customer service. I "dined" her for a Galentine's dinner with a large party. Our reservation was to include a bottle of champagne that never arrived. 40% of our party never received their food. We did not receive all drinks until 2 and a half hours after we arrived. We were told most of their staff was new which contributed to the delay but it became clear this was a restaurant where you're prioritized by who you know and where you were seated. The water we received was in small plastic cocktail cups, no refills received. They are charging upscale dining prices but providing Plasticware to eat with. I ordered Rasta Pasta as my entree with oxtail. The oxtail was decent but the pasta was overcooked. The manager eventually comped our tab after we had to repeatedly ask for his presence after multiple complaints on not receiving ordered items. read more

Try the food with your drinks! Bring a date or come solo. We met amazing people seated beside us. The DJ is popping. But the best thing about the evening was Julia's service. She is attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and so so sweet!! Food: DELICIOUS BEST UPSCALE Price: excellent for quality $$ Seating: beautiful views Parking: Easy peezy Drinks: GREAT! Ask about $5 shots Music: the DJ is great! Hip hop and Caribbean mix Best Quality: JULIA!! Super excellent service she really made the evening special and was honest about food suggestions. She was very attentive even as it got more busy. She is down to earth and professional. Her personality seems genuine and very pleasant I'm going to come back with several different people to support her and the restaurant!! read more

Back again with another review, this time I went to fade + facet. Cool lounge with "city vibes" out side of the city. The waiters here have an interesting dress code. They were very attentive and nice. The lamb chops with the plum sauce was enough to save the night, even though one of my lamb chops were baby sized. If I show up again and I see DJ "Gibby", I'm leaving. Dude was so annoying talking over every song, letting people do karaoke, and just flat out bad. read more

I was invited to attend a birthday celebration at Fade + Facet. Overall it was a nice experience but really depends on what your goal is. It's decorated to encourage selfies and group pictures. There are glowing signs, artwork and written words all over the walls and plants hanging from the ceiling. We went on a Sunday night at 7. We were the only people there until around 9. We were a party of 5 and were sat in a back corner with both chairs and booth seating. We ordered a flight of rum drinks (5) which comes with a "light show". The drinks come in bird glasses in a tiered display, very cute. The show was our server waving a light stick and a bubble gun. The drinks were tasty but very sweet and not much alcohol. We all ordered something different and appetizers so we got a quite the range of their menu. I recommend the wings for both taste and value. The spring rolls were good but overpriced for the serving size. For an entree, I ordered the curry chicken. It came with seasoned rice and fried plantains. The rice was a little dry but the chicken and plantains were great. My cons for the evening... The water glasses are very small and we weren't offered refills. Additional tipping by Cash app is highly encouraged even though you're already being charged auto gratuity. If you're looking for a fun bar night with cool pics and don't mind throwing down some cash, this is the place for you. read more

O was great! We popped in on a Saturday night and had a great time. From the decor to the service, it was a time.

I really enjoyed being here and this girl named Taylor was helping us out a lot and was super helpful. This bar was super enjoyable with all of my friends and it was just such a pleasure experience!!! read more

Listen up!!! I am a huge fan!!!! Met the owner and I love this place even more. Tip: make a reservation. This place gets busy Valet: $10, if you want to park close to the building. If not there is plenty of parking in the open lot. Security: at the door, to check purses. Very much appreciated this. Entrance/decor: staff will seat you. Lovely decor. Marble colored floor. Nice booths and tables. Flowers hanging from the ceiling. Tastefully done. Staff: not pushy, approachable. Love the uniform. Food: menu is enchanting. Cocktails are fun, flavorful. The Rasta pasta is a must. I had mine with salmon, another person had it with oxtail. Tasted the curry chicken, it was all good. If you are bringing a cake, its a $25 fee. It's worth it. They will bring it with sparkler candles, and cut it up from the kitchen. Price: Be cautious, the food is so good you can easily rack up a bill. read more

YO! You have to try this place out! Bring your wallet, because it will cost you, but the food was absolutely worth it. Found out about this place via a Taco Tuesday Eventbrite; $5 Tacos (2 minimum) and $10 drinks with $1 extra for juice added. Got one order to try, before I was even done taking my first bite I was already ordering another. If a taco is that good I can only imagine how good the rest of the menu is! The music was a little loud; it's not that big of a space, so you're going to feel it in your body, but the DJ was on point with every song. The drink was STRONG and Good! All together the food, drinks, and vibe was there. Even the bathroom had an interactive mirror with side panel lights. Yeah, without a doubt will be back. read more

Good food, good vibes! My husband and I went here, this past Saturday, 6-15, to celebrate his buddy's bday. We had a good time! The food was good, the vibe was chill, and the service was on point! I will say this though, I'm over the waitresses walking around in booty shorts! Why is this a thing today? I mean, we grown n sexy folks don't wanna see that when we go out to eat. I can see if this was a club, but it's a restaurant! GEEZZ! Anyway, I got the curry shrimp, rice and plantains! It was good, but it wasn't enough of shrimp! The rice was seasoned well, and the plantains were tasty! My husband got the snapper! When I tell you, that snapper was off the chain good...as the young folks say...BUSSN!! Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take pics. Overall, we had a good time and would go back. read more

Visited this location today and the service and food was exceptional. Definitely will be returning....

Its really hard not to love this place. Whoever was in charge of design needs to be applauded. The place is a vibe . Mixed with good food and southern hospitality, Fade + Facet is a must try . The cocktails are yummy and you can order flights (if u dare) but be warned they are strong ! The staff was helpful , friendly and inviting . They even gave us free shots because we were also a vibe lol . The dj played a good mix of music and I loved my salmon (and im not a salmon fanatic) 4 stars because not everyone loved their food - get the salmon ! Go there ! read more

This place was a vibe, music was great and the ambiance was amazing! Yana was amazing and made sure we were taken care of!

One word: overrated. They sent numerous texts about a "strict" dress code yet when we got there, there were people very much underdressed like they just walked in off the street. You can't make any modifications to dishes and can't send them back either. I got the curry chicken bc I figured you can't mess that up but that curry chicken tasted nothing like curry chicken. I took 1 bite and packed it to go and threw it out at home. The rice tasted like coconut rice which I'm not a fan of and the plantain was hard. The service was also slow. The restaurant itself is very cute and picture worthy but I def wouldn't return. read more

I had really high hopes for this restaurant but food was very underwhelming. The overall vibe of the place was cute and the drinks were really nice. A place like this is always overpriced. I did get the hookah and both hookah flavor (can't remember the mix) I did not enjoy. We were the only large group in the restaurant and the food took forever. I could just imagine on a busy night. This was definitely a one time experience, nothing about this place other than the music and cute wall decor makes me want to go back read more

Oh sweet baby. This was the WORST hookah place I have ever been to in my entire life. And I get it one star is gonna hurt the business but good god. The hookah was AWFUL and yes they do add gratuity to the bill. $55 for crap hookah and it took 45 minutes for it to come out. An additional 20 minutes for them to bring out the CORRECT hookah. Do not come here. There's plenty of hookah spots in the area that'll be GOOD hookah with GREAT service. Extremely disappointed. read more

My friends and I decided to come on a Friday night around 9P. When we pulled up to the plaza, we saw valet parking for $20, however we parked elsewhere in the plaza for free. When we entered, there was a wait without a reservation. FYI the security will ask if you have a reservation to deter you from entering without a reservation. Once we were seated, we asked for a hookah. However, the waitress and hostess kept asking if we wanted to order food, annoying. We had two more people join us for a total of 5 people on a couch divided into 2 sections. The other section had plenty of space with only 2 people, yet we were asked to move to a dining table because we were "encroaching" into the section next to us. We decided to order food at the table. The veggie Rasta pasta was pretty good, but the wings weren't a hit. We also got another hookah and liked both hookah flavors. When the bill came, the waitress flashed the amount due on the card reader to my friend and said the tip wasn't included-so he added a tip. After closer review of the bill, the tip was indeed already included in the amount before he added an extra tip. When we asked the waitress about her lie, she claimed the initial tip went to the bartender and dishwashers in the back--I've never heard of such! Definitely an overhyped place. It was empty by midnight. It's basically a restaurant with hookah and music. And they're definitely charging Atlanta prices in Duluth! read more

Kahlik our server was excellent! Had a very positive attitude and checked in frequently.

I would recommend this place a 10/10. Yolanda is very attentive and knowledgeable make sure to check this place out

A few friends and I popped in here hoping to have a great experience and get a quick bite before going out, but that was not the case. Music and vibes 10/10, however service 1/10. It was barely any tables with guests sitting at them and it still took 45 minutes for our food to come out. After ordering, it took about 20 mins for them to come tell us that they didn't have specific items. We requested water, never received it amongst the waitress never even checked in on us to see how the food was. Now, to the main part - let's talk about these desert oxtails they are serving. I've had oxtails all over ATL and I cook them myself, but these are the sweetest oxtails I've ever tasted. Brown sugar should be a subtle ingredient not the main. They literally tasted like Brown Sugar Oxtails. Would I return? Last resort. Again, good vibes, music and ambiance but food - eat before you come. read more

Food and ambiance was great, however it's kinda empty on Sunday so wouldn't recommend going on that day. We decided not to get hooka but it's available which is a plus. read more

Chante was great and attentive as a waitress. She was also the bartender & the drinks were great! She made sure we had a goof experience.

Let's Get It, Location: Duluth. A little far but I don't mind driving to try new places. Parking: It's in a shopping mall center & it's $10 valet even on a random Tuesday night. There were more employee cars than customers parked so a total of 10 cars. If you don't want valet then you'll have to park on the other side of the shopping mall. Aesthetics: Very Cute. Very IG. Low lighting with a quintessential grass wall & flowers that's so popular in Atl. Clean bathroom. All of your pictures will be post worthy. Service: We were seated at the bar but staff was accommodating & moved us to a booth. The server spoke to us once & didn't come back for about 15min. Finally, another server (Asian woman) took our order but we decided to put in everything at once in case her service was lacking as well. The original server checked on us once again at the end of our meal to collect the check. Honestly, I'd rather had tipped the Asian woman who actually served us. Food: 1. Rasta Pasta with shrimp. Spicy. Well seasoned. 2. Red Snapper with rice and plantain Someone kiss the Chef for me. Drinks: Cute and tasty. StarGazer & Crystal Forest were my favorite. I'd try the place 1 more time but wouldn't go out of my way to drive there. read more

I came to dinner for one of my really good friend's birthdays. I walked into the restaurant and loved the colors and ambiance. The restaurant had a lot of cute photo opps. The server was nice and gave her recommendations. We ordered hookah, drinks, and an entree. Everything was delicious. I ordered the Onyx Flower for my drink and had oxtail as my meal. They ran out of plantains so I had to get broccoli rabe which I didn't like. They had a strawberry shortcake I really wanted to try but I was so full. I would go back to try the dessert. This spot is a cute date night. read more

Okay... let's get started. Parking: Valet is $10 but there's other parking so you won't have to pay. But it seems like in order to be placed on the list w/o a reservation, they want you to do valet. Which I think is dumb, because I shouldn't have to do valet to be placed on a list that's on a phone. Luckily, one of the guards "fucked w/ us" and we were able to get in a lil quicker. Service: We originally waited 25-30 mins to get inside, then another 10 mins to be seated. We were seated at the bar, which was nice. I enjoyed the bag hooks they had stationed under the bar. I understand it was packed and it was only one bartender taking tabs, but boy was she not attentive. There were moments we wanted to order another drink but she was nowhere to be found. Food: We really just came for drinks and a hookah. The hookah was very nice and strong. The drinks were good but for the price, not worth it for the amount you get. I also ordered some honey jerk wings to-go, which took 20 mins alone to come out. Then the wings had a very strong and unpleasant garlic smell. So bad, that I didn't even bother eating the wings. And for $18 you only get 7, which again not worth it in my opinion. Ambiance: Very nice place, you can come casual or dressed up. A nice place to have a birthday dinner, or date. Overall, you're basically paying for the scenery. I'm sure the other food items are good, but it's just not worth the wait and pricing to me personally. Then the lady was wiping some of the tables off with a rag that she kept on the floor next to the cleaner spray used. I can't say if I'll be back, but I'll give it some time before I do decide to give it a second try. read more

This place is located in a shopping center. They block off all the parking near there restaurant for valet and self park. Regardless if you self park you will have to pay $10. If you don't want to pay for parking/valet you can drive to another part of the shopping center and walk over. The restaurant has glow lighting and led lights which is fun. The service is very MID. I went on a Wednesday night and there were hardly any people there so I'm surprised the service lacked. The food was extremely mediocre and the portion sizes are so small. They charge way to much for that rubbish. Don't order cocktails because I'm sure it's just juice. I suggest sticking to beer, wine or straight liquor. They play music in the restaurant which is great for the vibe. Honestly this place is best for just going to enjoy the music and hookah if that's your thing. read more

Love their Caribbean pasta! The staff was so beautiful and friendly. I'm coming back with my Jersey friends. It's a cute vibe in here.

This place is a vibe! Definitely a place to visit if you want to get cute Instagram pictures. We went on a Saturday night and the place was moving, not busy but steady. They seem to be a reservation-only place which is a plus so it's not overly crowded. The DJ is great, the food is good and so are the drinks. They offer hookah but we didn't partake in hookah. We ordered apps the seafood egg rolls and pasta dishes for entrees. The egg rolls are Delicious! Definitely a reorder. The Rasta pasta is also good. I docked a star because the waitress did not inform us that gratuity is already included in your bill. They place the payment device in front of you and it does not detail that gratuity is already included. So she got an extra tip on top of the included gratuity. They should inform you that gratuity is already included in your bill and give you the option to tip additional if so pleased. Other than that the place is a vibe! read more

Ambience was definitely on point and wonderful. The food seemed to be hit or miss for my group. I had the oxtail with the pasta, the oxtail was over seasoned.

The star of the evening was the DJ though!!! He played amazing music, had me dancing most of the evening. read more

One star for the restaurant's ambiance. The WORST dining experience that I have had! Decided to have my birthday dinner here on a Saturday and booked a reservation for two people, a week in advance. Got to there at 8PM for the reservation and had to wait for 15 minutes. No where to stand and definitely nowhere to sit while waiting. The hostess' podium was literally right at the door. Too small of a space. After we stood and waited for 15 minutes to be seated in the crowded small space, the hostess took us to this small table with two small bar stools that was literally in the middle of the restaurant where there was the most traffic! To me appeared as if it would be a fire hazard!! They had three small tables set up like that in the middle of the restaurant! Nowhere to hang my jacket on the back of the chair. We had to hold our purses in our laps because the table was that small. Our waitress finally came to take our order after 20 minutes (8:40). We ordered two bottled waters, a galaxy flight and two Rasta Pastas, one with salmon and one with jerk chicken. We ordered everything at once so we wouldn't have to wait any longer. We didn't get our bottled waters until 9PM. Our waitress said our flights were taking so long because a party had ordered three flight before us. At 9:30, still no flights...finally got our food delivered to us at 9:40PM by the server. We had no utensils to eat with! My pasta didn't have the jerk chicken. The server said, "I will be back with a side of jerk chicken and some utensils." Guess he got kidnapped because we never seen him again! Told my friend that I was extremely annoyed and that we would be leaving and would not eat the food and only pay for the bottled waters. Finally our waitress decided to come to the table at 10PM asking did the food look okay and that she could take the flight off of our order since they haven't came. I stated annoyed, "Ma'am we have no utensils to even eat this and I ordered jerk chicken with my pasta. And I wanted the flight! At this point, take the Pastas off as well! I will pay for the bottled waters that we drank." The waitress went and got the manager because she claimed that she couldn't remove the Pastas because it was brought out even though we didn't touch it and couldn't with no utensils! The manager finally came over at 10:15PM, stating, "I'm sorry for the trouble. We have a lot of new people here training. We will take the food off and you can box it up and take it with you if you like. Would hate for it to go to waste. I'm sorry." I stated, "No because we would probably have to sit another 15-20 minutes to get boxes!" I was still expected to pay for the bottled waters when that should have been on the house for the terrible service!!! I get that it was a Saturday night and a lot of people had reservations for birthday parties but there was no excuse for the lousy service!!! All I got out of the dining experience was a bottled water and being bumped into (due to being sat in the middle of the floor of the restaurant)!!! read more
