My husband and I visited Theory for the first time last night. Unfortunately, what should have been…read morea nice first experience was overshadowed by the behavior of one waitress. We were seated by staff along the back wall underneath the TVs behind the bar, in an admittedly narrow area. Throughout the night, dozens of patrons and employees passed by me without a problem. I'm 5'9" and was sitting with my legs crossed while intentionally trying to leave room for people to pass. One waitress, however, forcefully pushed/moved my leg while passing, hard enough to make me lose my balance in my seat. No "excuse me," no apology, no acknowledgment. I let it go because the lounge was crowded, I had been drinking, and I did not want to ruin our night over an incident. Then she did it AGAIN later. The second time, she looked back at me with what I perceived as an irritated/dismissive expression and again offered no apology or acknowledgment. At that point, it was difficult for me to view it as simply the unavoidable bumping that happens in a crowded lounge--especially after watching countless other people navigate the exact same space without physically pushing me out of their way. My husband witnessed it as well and immediately commented on how unnecessarily rough and disrespectful the interaction was. I deliberately chose not to confront the employee last night. Instead, I have contacted Theory management and asked them to review and preserve any available surveillance footage from the area. I have also offered to identify the employee and provide additional information if needed. I actually enjoyed other aspects of the establishment, which makes this especially disappointing. A guest should never have to wonder why a staff member felt comfortable making unnecessarily forceful physical contact with them--not once, but twice--without even the basic courtesy of saying "excuse me." I'm giving management the opportunity to address this appropriately, and I will update this review based on how they respond.

This review is strictly for security. One star, and that's for the jackass at the front…read more I wish I had gotten his name because I would absolutely put it here, and I will be putting him on blast. He was rude, ignorant, and a straight-up coward for the way he spoke to a group of women. Puffing his chest out, cursing at us like he wanted to fight--completely out of line. It would have been a whole different vibe if men had been with us. Let me be clear: this is 100% about security, not the establishment. I actually enjoyed the place. We were there for my daughter's birthday, had a great time, and our waitress was top-notch--super sweet. We paid for a section, which came with a bottle of wine, and were told we could take it if we didn't finish it. At the end of the night, my daughter walked out with the unopened bottle. It wasn't bagged. This security guard lost his mind--cursing at her and at me, telling us to "get the fuck out" and "don't come back." I tried to explain no one gave us a bag, but he didn't listen and didn't care. I have never felt so threatened over something so small. He completely ruined what had been a great night. I did call afterward, and someone was very apologetic and said they would handle it. I hope they actually review the footage, because his behavior toward a group of non-aggressive women was rude, aggressive, and unacceptable. We were honestly just confused by the whole situation. Yes, I understand the rules about taking alcohol out, but it wasn't bagged and we had been drinking--maybe we should have asked, but still, that didn't justify his behavior. I don't blame the waitress much; she had a lot going on and probably forgot. The villain of the night was that one stupid-ass security guard. His delivery was everything. All he had to do was calmly tell my daughter to go back in and get a bag. Instead, he chose to curse and threaten us. What a poor excuse for a black man. I liked the establishment, but I won't spend money somewhere that hires people like that. To that security guard: talk to your mom, your sisters, or any woman in your life--because you clearly don't know how to respect women. You're a coward, and you wouldn't talk to me

Went to Sapphire Bar & Restaurant on a Saturday afternoon for hookah and to catch the soccer game,…read moreand it was a really nice vibe. The atmosphere is cool and laid-back perfect spot to hang out with friends. It's not overly crowded during the day, which made it even better for watching the game and enjoying the hookah. I didn't try the food since I had just eaten beforehand, but I'd definitely come back to check out the menu next time. Overall, a chill spot if you're looking for somewhere easygoing to spend a few hours.

The spot itself was cool, and the bartender was great. She made some really good drinks, and…read moreoverall the food was okay. The wings, however, weren't the best. My wife ordered the catfish but didn't care for it because the seasoning was extremely salty. She only ate a small portion of it, and when the manager came over, he felt it was necessary to tell her, "You didn't taste the fish." Honestly, I bit my tongue because who are you to tell someone whether they liked something or not? She tasted the fish and it simply wasn't to her liking. As a manager, I don't think arguing with a customer about their personal taste was necessary. Instead, it would have been better to simply acknowledge her feedback and move on. You can't tell someone that they enjoyed something when they're telling you they didn't. Overall, the atmosphere and drinks were good, but the experience with the manager definitely left a bad impression.

There are so many better options for nightlife in Miami, I would recommend skipping this place…read more After family night a large group of us decided to check out miami lounge. They advertise free entry, free sections, all of which are not valid. Upon arriving we were charged a 20 cover. The overall price of the cover was reasonable in my opinion. The issue was that they had a flier advertising free entry and they did not honor it. The woman at the door explained that it was only free until 11 however the flier did not have any time limit. Once we entered the club was dead. The music was decent but was overshadowed by a blown speaker. I felt like I was in a Honda civic with an after market cd and sub install (iykyk). Because we were a large group we did get a section. The waitress was nice and attentive but was not overly informative. The club has a hard close of 2:30 even though their hours say they close at 3. At 2:30 the lights came on and they immediately started screaming for everyone to get out. The issue with this is the waitress continued letting us order food and water (bottled) up until "close". The food was brought out 10 minutes before they "closed" but that was not communicated. So at 2:30 when they are screaming for us to get out we still needed to get boxes as the food had JUST come. Also you can not leave with any open liquid. Alcohol is self explanatory but this also includes water. So the 5 dollar bottles of Fiji water she brought (they only serve bottles) at 2:28 had to be thrown out bc we opened them. The wings were crispy but way over salted. They are a good drunk food though because of the saltiness.

Worth Every Mile!…read more 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!

The space opens up to a large shared area with couches everywhere surrounding and pointing to a big screen, perfect for a more public experience, but they also have rooms. We were in one of them for my friend's birthday celebration, and the hostess pointed me to the room no problem. The rooms themselves are spacious with a screen where you can pull up YouTube karaoke. Two mics and a Bluetooth keyboard that was pretty easy to handle. Loved that there were no technical issues, so the equipment proved reliable. But even if we had run into something, service was so attentive that I know it would have been fixed promptly. Speaking of service, I can't remember a time I received my food and drink orders so quickly. That was super impressive and made the experience all the better. They have a fun drink menu and decent pricing, so I definitely recommend. One thing I will say is that the payment terminal doesn't make it clear that 18% gratuity is already included and the itemized receipt doesn't automatically pop up, so it's very easy to mistakenly tip 20% on top of that. It would be nice if the server was more upfront about that in general, but she was also great, so it's not the end of the world. All in all, I truly enjoyed my time there.

I married a 100% Dominican woman from the island that lived in Washington Heights after she left DR. This place has great food. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Some left a bad review because they said they ordered a quesadilla and fries that were OK. If you come to a Dominican restaurant and order a quesadilla and fries I'm sorry you are an idiot and know nothing about the culture or what to eat. So the ambiance. Is it a 5 star restaurant? No. Stop complaining about what they have to wipe your hands in the bathroom. If you are looking for a fine dining experience then go to Midtown. It's small, the music is LOUD at night and it gets crowded. If you don't like that vibe then go somewhere else. I've been to eat during the day when it's pretty empty and at night when it's packed. Service has always been good with longer waits if you go when there is a concert or an event at night. The food....very good. The only Dominican food I've had that is better has been food my wife cooked, my mother in law cooked or food in the Heights in New York. Definitely the most authentic Dominican spot here in Atlanta. The picadera is SO GOOD. Their beans taste just as good as what I get at home. My wife loves the Mondongo which is hard to make. Rabo is good so are the bistecs, the chuletas and the chicken I've eaten. I haven't tried the Mangu but my wife says it's good and she makes it AMAZING. I've said this before on reviews and will say it again. You have people expecting to get food like DR. Sorry people but we aren't in DR. We aren't in Washington Heights. I'd love to have it that good here but it's not going to happen. It's still doesn't make it bad. The food here is consistently good and I go often with my wife. Get the Picadera Dominicana.
