    Came here with my friends for a nightcap and CJ (our waiter) honestly made the night. From the…read moresecond we sat down, he was welcoming, checked in on us without being overbearing, and made some great recommendations. You could tell he actually cared about making sure we had a good time. He even surprised me and my friend with a slice of cheesecake for our birthdays, which was such a thoughtful touch (and it was ridiculously good). We had the KFC and Orange Kiwi Mint hookahs. Both were smooth, flavorful, and had their own vibe, but still hit perfectly. The fries and asada hummus were also stars of the show. People like CJ are the reason you come back to a place. Great energy, genuine hospitality, and he made us feel taken care of all night. Shoutout to Darwin as well! Made our hookahs with perfection continued to replace our coals without issue.

I ordered it medium rare - and made sure the waiter understood that I like it on the blue side. I came well done. It also came with fries, and an extra portion fries I would have never ordered ($11 plus tax and tip). Then, I learned that they automatically charge 18% tip. I understand that most restaurants charge it for larger groups, but we were three. This sort of means, that I paid 18% automatically, they taxed the 18% and then I, being generous, paid another 20% tip. Not once, not twice, but a number of times. I did not see any notice or on their menu which is a pain to read on the phone anyway. It may have been somewhere, but still ... I will never go again.

The location has a much different set up as the parking lot circles around the business. The lot is small so street parking is another option. They offer daily Happy Hour menus as well. The location is open air with the windows as Hookah is available. The staff allowed us to sit where we pleased as it wasn't full upon arrival. The energy was vibrant and lively with music playing and the TVs showing the NBA game. Cafe X20 had a some new menu options that I decided to try one. My wife and I usually love the White Fish plate so she ordered it. I went with the Char-Grilled Chicken Thighs with grilled veggies and spicy hummus. Our orders came out in adequate time. And they give a bag of pita bread. These dishes looked so appetizing you can't wait to dig in! The chicken thighs were grilled tremendously and the char added a new wave of flavors. A nice addition to the menu. Both dishes would be reliable options. The plates look colorful and are filling. Your tummy will be happy! Cafe X20 consistently delivers on their customer service and menu items no matter the location. Thanks for the delicious food! ( ^_^)b

Today…read morewas my birthday and we arrived around 12AM but he says it's the next day so we don't count it and apparently the service doesn't "allow it". So after driving far from where we were at we decided to leave this establishment. If we were informed that it wouldn't be granted despite a lounge being open till 2AM then we would have planned accordingly. No opinions on food but ambiance would've been worth it had things been clearer. Apparently it was listed in the "terms" like as a matter of fact? No customer knows those terms unless you tell them.

You walk in and right away a man greeted me, asked me how many, told me to scan the QR code for the menu and sat me down. There are couches everywhere with pillows and each area has it's own table. The place is dimly lit with tvs and it feels like you're sitting in your own living room smoking hookah chillin lol The service was great. They serve water and sodas. I was not the only person chillin alone which was pretty cool and I'd definitely come back again alone or with a group of friends! Also if you sign up for their rewards program you get 10% off which was pretty cool!

    I had to put y'all on to this spot!…read more The atmosphere at Level Lounge is honestly what stood out to me the most. The outdoor patio is beautiful, especially once the sun starts going down. It's one of those places where you can grab a drink, enjoy hookah, catch up with friends, or have a fun date night. Huge shoutout to George and Elena for being incredible hosts. They me us feel so welcome from the moment I arrived and truly added to the experience with their hospitality. For my vegan fam, they do have a pizza that can be made vegan by ordering it without cheese and without butter on the crust, which I really appreciated. They also offer a Pizza + Drink +Hookah combo during the day that makes it an even better value. I'll definitely be back!

The space is comfortable and spacious, with plenty of heaters, so it's easy to hang out for a long time. Great lunch deals with hookah combos. The staff is super attentive and helpful, and the crowd is always good -- no riff raff. They also have a nice variety of flavored iced teas, coffees, a full bar, and the food is the best I've had at a venue which also has hookah! The pizzas are all great, the burger is one of the best items on the menu, and the Ker-U-Sus is a great gourmet dish- super lean and great beef. There's both seating inside and outside, inside has billiards which is a nice plus too. Overall, if you want great hookah, food, drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere - don't second guess trying Level !

I came in about midnight so it was still fairly empty, but the owner said it gets more crowded and busy around 1-2am, and closing at 4am. There's a few bars/clubs that are next to this spot so expect a lot of foot traffic and moving cars. Parking is about a block away in parking lot area but you could try your luck in parking in front of this place (don't bother). When you enter this hookah spot they not only ID you but they also pat you down to make sure you're clean. Inside is a pretty cool vibe with some fairly loud rap music playing and a few TV's playing music videos. They have a bunch of different hookah flavors and I got the Blue Ballz. Hookah is about $30 a piece. He made it in about 5 minutes and the hookah was great! The vibes were definitely good and the ambiance was quite enjoyable. If you want a spot to CHILL, this is cool - but don't come here at 1-2 am if you're not trying to be in a crowd and possibly loud people (most people are probably drunk and leaving the bars/clubs at that point) Overall, I'd definitely come back here with my friends!
