    Drinks were good . I had a sangria

    I ordered the fruity pebbles French toast an rounds of tower mimosas. It was amazing . I was high but it was great if you like sweet treats.

    The party is a vibe.. The female security will definitely violate while searching you "up" but other than that the spot is cool. My only issue was the hookah service. Maybe I'm use to spots that can handle the capacity but even the bottle service girls can confirm that the hookah girls move slowwwwwwwwwww!! Order a hookah at 12:15 and she thought about bringing it over to me at 1:29am when the party ends at 2am. I think not. So I would say: the music will be LIT!!! You will dance all night long. The crowd is cool and the bootle service girls are a vibe. They are nice and helpful. But I would probably skip out on the hookah my next return and just go to an actual hookah bar in the area for after hours; like we ended up doing. Oh and the setting is definitely picture ready!!!

    We popped by Paparazzi on a Sunday around 3PM to check out their brunch (heads up, they serve brunch until 6PM on Sundays). They told us we would have a 45 minute wait, but we were seated after about 10 minutes of waiting, thank goodness bc I was hangry lol. We were sat and ordered food, drinks, and hookah- the hookah is done thru a separate server. The hookah came out first and was definitely made well, they even made sure we had new coals half way thru. The drinks did take awhile, but were delicious once we got them. I ordered the 1017 (frozen slushie margarita) and my hubby ordered a fish bowl drink. I ordered the Chicken and Strawberry Cheesecake Waffles which was bussin. I smashed the whole thing- no leftovers- it was top tier. Hubby ordered the Catfish and Grits and it was seasoned very well. 10/10 for both dishes for sure. The only minus is the fact that they give you plastic silverware, its kind of hard to eat waffles with that. I will say the vibe in there is definitely popping- it gives ATL hookah lounge vibes for sure, the music was bumping, the DJ was getting into for sure. I would definitely come back again, but I would prlly call ahead to see how the wait situation is. It's definitely a good place to take out of town friends, or just to turn up with some locals. I was hesitant to give them a try bc let's be honest, their Yelp score isn't the highest in the game. Hopefully they can continue to go up from here.

Without any real…read moreexplanation or attempt to de-escalate the situation, three security guards physically grabbed and dragged me out of the venue. It was completely unnecessary, aggressive, and honestly humiliating. During the incident one of the guards had his arm around my neck to the point where I couldn't breathe and my necklace was ripped off in the process. At no point did anyone try to calmly speak to me or explain what the issue was. Being handled by multiple security guards like that felt excessive and unprofessional, especially in a place that's supposed to be about having a good time. Instead of basic communication, the situation immediately escalated to physical force. I would strongly caution anyone thinking about going here. A night out shouldn't end with you being physically dragged out by security with no explanation. There are plenty of lounges in the city that treat their guests with far more respect.

This is a new nightclub in the university area, the interior is small but there is a dance floor in front of the Dj booth. Good sound system, expensive drinks (maybe this was because entry was free) and one of the bartenders did a fire breathing act. Service was on par tonight, cocktail girls with free shots were brought around to each of us in addition to a dessert at closing: chocolate jelly shots. We will return if they keep up the high dollar DJ names. Give 'em a try- there are different theme nights. It's a restaurant so might have good food. Gender specific restrooms and lot's of parking (beside the theatre.) BIG plus: you don't have to drive into downtown Charlotte.

I was celebrating my 42nd birthday and was looking forward to experiencing an unforgettable night. When I called Aura and spoke with a hostess I was very polite in letting her know my rsvp had been cancelled without my knowledge and I had accepted the text confirmation of attending the restaurant on Saturday 12/27. She began to explain the reservations were canceled due to a private event and the restaurant was closing at 9pm. I immediately started to shake and ask "what, why, there weren't any blackout dates or anything preventing me from making reservations? The hostess only said " you will need to go online and purchase tickets". I was in utter disbelief that this was happening. The hostess was not apologetic or anything. Aura this is unacceptable and this ruined my birthday night. Why would you not call, text or email and let me know the reservations would be cancelled and I needed to pick another time and date? There were no alternative solutions provided just a simple " go online and purchase tickets." Aura you all have to do better with notifications to inform your paying patrons of cancellations especially when they are celebrating a special day.

My first visit was on January 9th for a birthday celebration. I had the wings (which were excellent), hookah, and truly enjoyed the atmosphere. The environment was relaxed, the aesthetics were nice, and everything about that evening felt smooth and enjoyable. My ticket clearly reflected my purchases, I paid my tab, added a tip, and my bank statement matched exactly what I authorized. Because I enjoyed my first visit so much, I returned on January 18th with a friend. We both ordered hookah; I had food, and she had drinks. When I closed out my tab, everything appeared normal--I paid and tipped as usual. However, the following morning when I reviewed my bank statement, I noticed that gratuity had been added after the fact, which I did not see or authorize at the time I paid. I reached out to my friend, and she confirmed that gratuity was also added to her tab, though she did not realize it at the time. I returned to the lounge once they reopened and spoke directly with the owner. He explained that gratuity is sometimes added and that he leaves it up to the individual server to decide whether or not to apply it. I explained that gratuity had not been added during my visit on January 9th, and that this issue only occurred on January 18th. While the explanation suggested that gratuity should have been applied, the concern was that it appeared to be added after I had already paid my tab, without upfront notice. To his credit, the owner did address the issue and refunded the gratuity. That said, the lack of clarity around gratuity policies raised an eyebrow for me. As a patron, I believe it's important to be informed upfront whether gratuity is automatically added, applied selectively, or left to the discretion of the server--especially when payment is finalized electronically. Outside of this issue, the lounge itself is enjoyable. The food was good, the hookah was solid, the atmosphere was chill, and the overall vibe was welcoming. My only concern was the handling and communication around billing and gratuity. Clear, consistent policies would go a long way in making an already good experience even better.

He was not trying to hear her out and started to become a bit combative. he said you "you took more than one bite." my niece stated " I took two spoonfuls to taste it. how can you gauge what I ate." He again became combative and was mot interested in "Making it right" and demanded that she still pay for the food. Again, I've been here two times before and love it. however, if this is the way you are going to treat your paying customers I will not return. Management needs to work on their presentation and how they handle their customers. We don't feel valued or welcome after this experience.

The young man working tonight is representing you all as the face of your business, and he did a horrendous job. One of the worst attitudes I've ever some across and if ppl are going for true Chicago authenticity, he's definitely got it. Thought I was ordering Italian Fiesta off 71st (IYKYK). If buddy doesn't want to work there, yall should let him go. If it weren't for the fact I desparately wanted a taste of home, I would've walked out and not made an order at all. Businesses thrive thru word of mouth, and he is the type to get the wrong mouths speaking. I got a better welcome and hospitality from the DJ, and that's an insane statement to have to make. As a fellow Chicagoan, I was super excited about this place - didn't even look at reviews because I only trust the palate of fellow Chicagoans. I walked in and stood at the register at the "wait to be seated" sign, and behind it was a young man wrapping silverware. This man looked at me come in (we made eye contact, check your cameras) and still made me wait SEVERAL MINUTES until HE WAS READY to speak. He walks over and literally whispers "You wna place an order?" That's it. Just like that. Theres a DJ literally right behind us at the entrance so I asked him to repeat what he said and leaned in closer to hear him. He whispered it again and I had to lean in closer to hear him. Every single question he asked, he whispered it knowing full well I could not hear him and he made ZERO EFFORT to pipe up. I was damn near behind the register with how far I had to lean in to hear him. It was absolutely without a doubt intentional. What an attitude. Wow. I place my order and see yall charge a 15% gratuity for take out orders. That's insane. Food was decent but yall are cheap on the mild sauce. I had a little bit on my chicken (not even covering it), and none on the fries. HUH???? Yall want ppl to come back and tell their friends about this place, right? Cuz it doesn't seem like it. PUT THE MILD SAUCE ON THE FRIES. As aforementioned, if that young man does not want to work there, then yall need to let him go. He is not a good representation of your business, as the rest of your staff was incredibly nice. Not every person he encounters will be from the Carolinas and carry that southern hospitality with them. It took everything in my soul to not act up in yall's beautiful restaurant, but his behavior is totally unacceptable. Disgusting, truly. I'm gna change my profile picture on here because I'll be back for the pizza puff, and I want him to know it was me who did this review.
