When I initially saw the reviews for Karma, I was afraid to go there for my friend's birthday. Then…read moreI realized their two-star score was based on one review. I had a four star experience. I visited the establishment at night, so it was dark and I don't have many pictures of the decor but it is nicely decorated. I do think that the restrooms could be better. They really do have a laid back, lounge atmosphere with low lighting and both intimate seating at booths with conveniently placed tables for smoking hookah for eating - and floor seating. The musical selection is mostly old school hip hop earlier in the evening. They told us a DJ would be there that evening, but he didn't arrive before we left a little after 10pm. Hookah is really my friend's thing, but I must say that their hookah is the best that I've had in the area. Period. Their menu items were a bit pricey, and we were there for the hookah - so I ordered the shrimp appetizer that came with a spicy citrus remoulade dipping sauce. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, not rubbery or chewy all. They were crispy on the outside and arrived to the table fresh and hot despite the fact that there was a moderate crowd. I will be returning for hookah and to try more of their menu items!

My partner and I returned, this time with a friend. We got a special hookah, which comes with a…read morewatermelon head, blue mist flavor, and an ice tube (?) I could be referring to everything incorrectly, but aside from the flavor and I've tube, everything else was just for extra price. Our waiter was quite pleasant and took her time explaining each component of the hookah to us. When we ordered three strawberry lemon drop shooters, she informed us that they would be served in a martini glass, so "we will get more." Because we ordered shooters rather than cocktails. We were given a cocktail rather than shooters, so we were unintentionally overcharged for that as well. Although they were a little underwhelming, we still drank them and had a fantastic time. It simply was not what we had asked for. Although we had a great time and the Hookah was tasty, I don't think any of the extras were necessary. Looking around the room, we looked to be the only ones who had splurged but were still having the same experience. The ice tube (?) is the piece I would repurchase. It was cool how it made the smoke colder. The blue mist flavor was very tasty, although it was about all you could taste. The watermelon head was an extra $30 or so, but it was just for show. We were advised that paying $10 more for a better hooka would allow us more smoking time, but we still had to replace the coal more frequently than expected. The atmosphere inside was casual; the security guard outside informed my partner he couldn't bring his small bag in, but then let in two other men, with slightly larger bags directly after him. That struck me as strange. I wish the atmosphere inside was a little more...stimulating? The space is already very small, so I don't think there's much for you to sit and look around at besides other people after your chat somewhat finishes and some of you are waiting for your time at the Hookah. I believe it might benefit from more decorations, better lighting, and either more TV screens or having the TVs show different things rather than all being on the same channel. If you're looking for a local hooka joint, I recommend you check them out. But keep in mind that it is a lounge, so they will try to upcharge you at every opportunity.

They had lots of different flavor options providing for enjoyable flights. They went from sweet & fruity to dark & strong. I also enjoyed a spicy one although not sure I would want more than the shot of it again. There was a HS reunion in process when we arrived as well as others. The building and decor had a nice vibe. It wasn't hard to find parking. They had cans available for purchase (we took home two flavors). It's a spot we will likely visit again next summer if not sooner.

Can't speak on the ciders as I don't drink them but friends who I have come with enjoy them a lot. Not too much seating inside but the main attraction is their huge lawn outside.

Friendly staff and a great place for groups to meet-up! Only downside is that they only have two bathrooms!

We sat at the bar first because we were a bit early. Once we got our table we started with the crab dip , it was easily the best I've had. For entrees I ordered the crab cake and he ordered the seafood pasta. He mentioned the sauce could use some wine and lemon everything was cooked perfectly. The crab cake was fried perfectly and not just fillers, actually crab meat. My drink was yummy. I ordered the Gold Rush- highly recommend. He had whisky. The ambiance is very unique. I would say upscale casual. They have a full bar and lounge area. I think this place would be great for an event or party. It has been a while since I was fully satisfied with every aspect. You have to try it.

It's high-end, which I barely touch due to pricing, but it does not hurt to try something new. Let's see how the evening went. After our entire party arrived, we were all promptly seated. Inside, the decor is perfect. From the bar to the dining area, everything was spotless. You can tell the staff really cares about keeping the place tidy. And they had New Orleans-style music playing through the sound system. Very relaxing. After looking through the menu, I was ready to place my order. I chose their fish special, which was salmon with veggies and a sauce (forgot the name). This dish was very good. It was probably the best cooked salmon I've ever had. When you see seafood with the perfect crust and a lot of flavor, you're in heaven. It did have a small bone and I felt it lacked the amount of squash and zucchini, but again, a wonderful meal. There was one situation which resulted in only a 4-star review. Out of curiousity, I saw on Facebook that they offered $5 discounts. I did let my party know and we were all ready to use them when the bill was ready. But the staff told us the discount was to be used on a table rather than an individual ticket. When we looked both on Facebook and our personal emails, none of that verbage was mentioned. Not trying to sound harsh, but please be sure to state every detail foe customers. We do want to find ways to save some cash out of our wallets. Except for the discount mishap, the visit turned out well. I can say I'll be back to give them anothee go-around. Till next time :)

The food was also very good, but one thing I like to suggest is for the home fries they should be squared and fried and not sliced up because they weren't cooked properly and please don't pour the syrup on any dish specifically the chicken and pancakes not everyone likes this. The frozen drink were tasty but had barely any alcohol in it and they melted way too fast. The customer service was okay, I only encountered a few friendly and polite people trough out our visit, who were located in the main bar and the white tent in the middle of the beach, everyone else had a grumpy attitude and not a friendly face specially the people tending the second bar that is in front of the pool area. One more suggestion for Sunday since the pool area has to close for adult swim there should be an outside shower and dressing room available for those who are no longer allowed back inside the pool area that way the only bathroom available during the time don't get overwhelmed and dirty with all the sand.

Nothing was set up. They finally let us in because it had to be a fire hazard to have that many people standing in the hallway. Everyone was let in and given wristbands. The lady giving them out didn't know how to put them on, so she just handed them to people. Again general admission tables, seating other than surrounding the pool wasn't available. There was no food after 11, or tables set. 20-30min later there was a dash of people trying to set up. One man in particular, I'm assuming he was in charge, came around apologizing for most of his staff not being present and comping mimosas. He was very aware and alert that everything started sideways and he just wanted to fix it. He was putting out tables and chairs in his suit. The bar seemed extremely slow and behind on fixing drinks. Once things got going the food was ok, no complaints here. It was a beautiful rooftop setting, it was extremely hot, the pop up tents provided shade. I would like to go back to give it another shot, when they are properly staffed and the food is better than "ok".

Well, just like my previous visit, the service wasn't good.... Honestly, the bartender seemed to be deliberately ignoring us. He was more focused on "his boys". We witnessed a couple other people get the menu and leave because service was that slow smh... But, we patiently waited because we were hungry and I told my friends this restaurant has the "best wings in Hampton"! It took almost 30minutes of us standing there for him to finally get to us so we could order our drinks. Our drink order got messed up, our wing order got entirely messed up, and our bill got messed up. To be fair, I witnessed someone else complaining about their messed up bill too so at least I know he wasn't just targeting us... He just didn't know what the hell he was doing.. The music was dope (maybe a little too loud, but whatever), the DJ was excellent, and once again, THE BEST WINGS IN HAMPTON! Now, with that being said, I had to deduct another star because the service was that bad... Once they fix their service, I honestly think this place would be a gem! I'm not too sure if I'll come back, but I do recommend you give it a try if you're in the area!

They do allow smoking on the patio so if you don't like smoke, you may not want to sit back there. The service was pretty good. For our waiter to be the only one in the restaurant at that time, he was pretty attentive. I haven't seen any other sit in restaurants in the area serve fried crabs so that is cool. They put their own sauce inside and the batter has some spice to it. I wish the batter was a little thicker but it still got the job done. The fries were good and nicely seasoned. I also got old bay wings (not pictured), which were pretty good.
