My friends and I came to 4am Lounge for the all-day happy hour. The venue itself is really nice --…read morestylish space, good lighting, and a solid DJ who kept the vibe right without it being overly packed. I also have to give credit where it's due: the hookah was some of the smoothest I've had in a long time. That alone made the experience enjoyable. That said, there were a few issues. We didn't realize that they were only serving the happy hour menu, and at 7pm I was surprised to learn the regular menu wasn't available. Eventually, they allowed us to order 1 item off of the regular menu, but I've never been to a place that doesn't offer the full menu later in the evening. It was very odd -- especially since the happy hour portions were very small. Service was also slow. No waitress came to our table for a while, and the bartender ended up serving us for the first half of our visit on top of handling bar duties. She did a great job with what she had -- friendly and efficient -- but clearly the floor service needs support. Food was a mix of hits and misses. The lamb chops and spinach dip were standouts and really tasty. However, both shrimp dishes came out ice cold, and my friend (who loves oysters) did not enjoy the Rockefeller oysters, which says a lot. Overall, the vibe and venue are strong, and the hookah and music definitely add to the experience. But the service flow and food consistency need improvement. With a few operational fixes, this place could easily be a go-to spot.

For Miami it's giving Swizzle or Tea Room with the nearest similarity to Mangrove. It's in an unassuming plaza yet once you step inside, you enter a warm, inviting, low lit space that truly is a Love Jones vibe. That evening happened to be an event, a trifecta experience of food, service and talent. Longstanding South Florida curator of poetry and live music @onthebsideent featured a vocalist performance by former Isaac Hayes background singer @iamrhondathomas. The two cocktails I ordered were scratch made and allowed me to lusciously libate. Per prior reviews, I enjoyed the clapping crab cake starter followed by bluesy smash burger. All severs as well as the owner engaged with diners. I concur with other reviews, truly "grown & sexy" and enjoyed this hidden, intimate, Black-owned soul-full, speakeasy type spot.

I went on a Wednesday night, it was pretty dead, but that didn't stop us from having a great time. They had three for one drink special, a lot of their food were on happy hour as well. And the DJ was pretty good. I am so mad that I don't remember our waitresses name because she was definitely good. They also had a free sip and paint last night however we didn't stay long for that. The food was really good, and the drinks were OK, it gave us the buzz that we needed lol .. I was just so shocked that no one was really trying to take advantage of their happy hour but then again it was also a random Wednesday night so I am assuming it gets packed on the weekends.

The dim lighting and moody vibe set the stage perfectly--whether you're kicking back with friends or trying to impress someone on a date. The food? Solid. Flavorful, well-portioned, and pairs nicely with the whole lounge aesthetic. It's the kind of menu that keeps the focus on the experience while still leaving you satisfied. What really makes this spot special is the energy. You can come here for a chill night of conversation with friends, or lean into the music and turn it into something more--dancing with a date under the low lights feels effortlessly cool and just a little bit sexy. If you're into places that feel more like an escape than a restaurant, Velvet Lounge Café nails it.

She did a great job balancing it all out but it was definitely not fair for her to be alone. We sat and looked at the menu for a moment. She let us know that there was a delay in the kitchen and we had to wait 30 minutes for our food. But that was ok we were there for good food, good drinks and a vibe so we didn't mind. What we ordered: Rum punch 10/10 Money drink 10/10 Grio with banan 10/10 Ribs with fries 10/10 The food was served hot and fresh! The music skipped a little but that was ok. This place is really affordable unlike these other overpriced lounges... We Will definitely be back!

Overall my group had a decent time and really enjoyed the sax player. The lounge is a decent size, there are about 5 sections, normal seating at tables, and bar seating. The drinks were good and so were the wings we ordered. One of the members from my group had the rice in a pineapple, though it looked good she had to send it back because it didn't taste good. Our servicer was very attentive and friendly. She was patient and answered all of our questions. The reason for the three stars is because I tried to reach this establishment multiple times leading up to my birthday and didn't get a response until the day of. I called the number a different times during business and sent messages to their social media page to find out if I needed to make reservations. This nearly caused me to not even attend this establishment. Also on Wednesday if you have a group of 5 or more ladies you receive a free bottle of wine. I do wish we were able to choose the wine because we were given an extremely dry wine and no one drank it. So I feel that was wasteful.

The menu offered a wide variety of unique cocktails, and the prices were very reasonable. I ordered the Gold Rush, and it was so delicious I went for seconds.

There's street parking nearby, but I'd recommend getting there a little earlier since it fills up fast on busy nights. Overall, such a fun, upbeat vibe and perfect for a girls' night out. I'll definitely be back!

The combo of Licor 43 and espresso is delish! Highly recommend. It was a Sunday night so there wasn't too many people, but the bartender did tell us they play live music on Fridays and Saturdays and that is when there is a bigger crowd. We will be going back soon!

When we booked our reservation, it clearly says on the email "ARRIVE ANY TIME YOU LIKE" 5:30-9:30…read more As we were on our way we received a call at 7:15 saying we were late and pressuring us to arrive. When we got there the hostess immediately asked us if we're one of the "late ones" that hasn't shown up yet. We showed her the email that states to come whenever yet she still argued it with us that it starts at 7:30. Also, the email states that you have to pay a $20 fee per person if you don't order food....yet they never mention that you have to order $20 worth of food PER PERSON. On top of that, there's a lovely $8 fee if you share your meal. Food portion was tiny and my shrimp meal had plastic in it. When I mentioned this to the waitress, the chef came out and argued that it was shell, to which I physically picked up the plastic and stretched it to show it was definitely not a shell. At the end of the meal we received our check and were informed that there is a "service fee" AKA the waitress added her own tip onto our check (she physically wrote in the tip on the check and even wrote the total). We were never informed about any service fee until the end of the meal. Extremely disappointed. Will not be going back.
