We stumbled upon Roots when we were having lunch in Port Jeff and what a delight our Kavatender (not sure if this is actually a word) was! I forgot her name but she was very welcoming and adorable. Plus she liked our dog and encouraged us to come in. She educated us on Kava and the ritual associated with it. We each had a bowl and I quickly understood why it should be drunk in one fell swoop. It's because it's very very bitter! I believe the translation of kava is actually "bitter". Next time I might add some coconut some thing. With that said, I did definitely feel tingle in my mouth and I felt very relaxed. I had a slight case of the giggles. I would like to come back again with some friends and try some other things. Roots is very cozy and I would have liked to have stayed a little bit longer and play some games they make available. Great first time Kava experience and I will definitely be back. I recommend Roots for a laid-back, social get together with friends.

We stumbled along this place while taking a stroll on a Saturday night and decided to check it out because it looked pretty chill on the inside. When you walk in, it looks like a bar - but it's not. The worker told us all about the type of drinks they have and where it comes from, and she was super sweet about it since we were pretty ignorant. We got to try a couple drinks on tap and a couple drinks in a can. Spent over $40 on four drinks - pretty pricey but we were really curious. Atmosphere is so laid-back. They had a musician come in and play guitar at the front. They have tables and chairs in the front and back of the building. They have multiple games you can play. There's chalk to draw on the walls and they apparently get rid of it weekly, but display it on their instagram. There are coloring books and art pads to draw on. They're so relaxed that they had a TV and people were playing their own Nintendo. Super chill. We stayed for about 3 hours. For a Saturday night, I loved every second. She said they'll soon be hosting events such as Paint night. I competely loved the vibe here and I would so come back again. They opened about a month and half ago - so definitely go and support!

Great place to relax and enjoy a nice tea or shell after a long day of work! The vibes are a great mix of cafe/bar culture. I've never had a bad experience with the staff or customers who come in. Please, from one yelper to another, try this awesome Kava Bar!

There are no strangers at Roots, Just friends you haven't met yet. The kava-tenders; Mel, Stevie and Becks (as I call her) are glorious in all their duties. The atmosphere is unique and can't be duplicated anywhere else. Plus there are so many events each week there is something for everyone. Also, Angela who left the bad review just celebrated her birthday at Roots, see my photo.

Great laid back beach vibe with excellent service! If you don't know much about kava or kratom they will explain it all. Catch a buzz with great music, atmosphere, and no hangover

Love this place, I go here almost every day. They have a great selection of tasty drinks and everyone is always super friendly and very informative if you have any questions about their products. They have a lot of fun events, and the aesthetics are beautiful, also inclusive because you can chalk draw on the walls! Overall, one of my favorite places. Highly recommend!!

Better late than never with this backdated review--life has just been lifing!…read moreI finally made it to Artemis on July 22nd after fiending to go since January. There's actually a hilarious story behind why I went. I was originally supposed to have a date that night, but let's be real: you'd think a 61-year-old man would know better than to take a 47-year-old woman to Dave & Buster's. I canceled the night before, dolled myself up the day of, and decided to take myself out instead. Best decision ever. The joint is dimly lit. But your eyes wind up adjusting. It's got a great vibe. Definitely excellent for a date night. The bartenders here are absolute rockstars. I started with a Painkiller. Even though it's no longer on the menu, they whipped it up for me anyway--and hey, it definitely relieved my pain, lol! Next, I tried a Corpse Reviver just because it had absinthe in it. It was different, but I really enjoyed it. Naturally, I had to finish with my signature drink, a Cosmopolitan, because I am the Black Carrie Bradshaw of Long Island. And it did not disappoint. The eats: I got the charcuterie board--fancy and bougie, just like me--and wrapped up the night with the brownie à la mode for dessert. Drowning my troubles in sweets is a must when the Long Island dating pool is an absolute wasteland, lmao. Did I want to spend my night around teenagers, kids, and skee-ball? HELL NO! I wanted a grown-and-sexy speakeasy vibe, and Artemis delivered. 5/5 stars--would 100% recommend!

Artemis is a beautifully decorated restaurant with a great ambiance, and our waitress was friendly,…read moreattentive, and did a good job taking care of us. Unfortunately, the overall experience was mixed. The two-hour table limit felt unnecessarily restrictive, especially for a group of eight. We were split into two separate areas of the restaurant, and there didn't seem to be much willingness to accommodate us so we could sit together. The person checking us in was not particularly welcoming, which didn't make the best first impression. What really left a bad taste, though, was the manager's explanation that the two-hour limit is necessary because "turning tables" is how the restaurant makes money. While I understand the business reasoning, hearing it explained that way made the experience feel more transactional than hospitable. The biggest issue is that the time limit actually worked against the restaurant. Rather than staying for another drink and continuing our evening there, we ended up going somewhere else. For me, that defeats the purpose of creating a nice atmosphere if guests are being encouraged to leave before they're ready. Beautiful restaurant, good service from our waitress, but the rigid seating policy and the way it was handled would make me think twice about returning.

Being from TN was pleasantly surprised at the Nashville decor at Daisy's including the live…read more"country" band playing g this evening. However word of caution the music is extremely loud but very enjoyable to listen to. Immediately greeted warmly and seated ( not for from the entrance which when the music started was glad to be seated there ). Our server Jade was outstanding. Welcoming, courteous, attentive, knew the menu and offered done excellent suggestions. I'd definitely recommend the Nudies Nachos (fully loaded) and Glazed Brussel Sprouts (with a honey-soy tamarino glaze ) to start off. The main dishes included the half rack ribs with a fantastic rub seasoning, Daisys Classic Burger, Prime Wrap and Chicken & Waffle Sandwich which were all generously portioned and all cooked/prepared to specification. Nice to see several servers delivering both drinks and food which eliminated wait times after placing an order. Overall a nice little piece of Nashville serving great food along with outstanding service. As I mentioned earlier only negative is the music can get loud but that's to be expected with any establishment featuring live music. We'll definitely be back again.

Came a handful of times. The food is consistent and does not disappoint. They have events almost…read moredaily: Country Karaoke, Bingo, Live music, wing nights, Honky Tonkin', country music brunch, etc. Great atmosphere all in all. Here is what we ordered: - Cap'n Crunch tenders: breaded Cap'n Crunch chicken tenderloins, honry mustard and maple aioli dips - Tennessee chicken dip: pulled chicken, house made ranch hot sauce, bacon, bleu cheese, and tri colored corn tortilla chips - Char-grilled flatbread: margherita style, crushed tomato, mozzerella, fresh basil, pecorino romano, garlic oil - daisy's classic burger: 8 oz. Custom blend, LTO, aged cheddar, Daisy sauce, brioche bun - a margarita: forgot which one I had but it is pictured The service was great. Other servers and managers helped bring out food -- great teamwork. Our main server was very attentive. I was flush and fanning myself, and she asked to turn up the AC. I didn't ask or complain...she just did it and told me. I recommend trying this place out. They also book for private parties.

Alibi is currently running a Harry Potter pop up, and if you know anything about me, you will know I am a HUGE fan. The Alibi was decorated beautifully and there were two really cute Photo Ops by "Platform 9 3/4" and the Wand Shop. Come here for the drinks! The Hufflepuff was bourbon forward and reminded me of an Old Fashioned which further confirmed that is truly my house. It also came with an edible golden snitch. The server pointed it out before I gave them what I thought to be decor. I popped the chocolate golden snitch in my mouth after being directed to take the wrapping off first. We then did butterbeer shots and I can't even begin to tell you how delish they were...dangerously delicious. Food was had and it wasn't anything to write about but I'll try. Queso dip is made in house, which I respect. Loaded potato wontons were a great idea and were probably the best things on the table. You can't go wrong with pretzel nuggets. Chocolate cake is never a bad idea. I ended my visit with a chocolate frog drink. Very similar to an espresso martini. You know how hot they are right now. It came with a an actual chocolate frog which was nice. Finally one of the staff members came over to help us play Bertie Botts and we all picked a jellybean. I got lemon. Some of us got soap and warwax. So fun! It was so good, we are going to try to snag another rez for trivia. Reservations are for 90 minute seatings. You pay $15 for a ticket but you get a souvenir cup with your ticket. Not mad about this because the cup is actually decent and will be used. Their next pop up will be "Slime Time". Slime is not my thing but maybe you'll see me at the other pop ups.
