This place has a great happy hour! I did order happy hour drinks but also some of their signature drinks just to try them. The wings are amazing! They have great fries and the shrimp was also a great choice. The crab balls seemed to be cooked in old grease so they weren't great. The happy hour was slow and quiet but as the evening went on the place was slammed packed! The music was great all evening. The bartenders were very friendly and created some really good cocktails when I asked them to experiment for me.

Velvet Lounge & Cafe @velvetloungecafe Sunrise, FL Had to pull up to celebrate my friend's birthday! We came for the vibes but we had to eat a little somethin 1st! Service was great and it was the perfect ambiance for a celebration. The fries were nice and crispy, the salmon bites could have used a little more seasoning, but was yum with the sauce. The shots were generous and the drinks were strong! Had to toast to more life with @officialbelaire It was a great night!

I absolutely understand the other reviews on service and fees . I went on a Friday night which advised 5-8 happy hour . For everyone . 6-8 ladies drink free ONLY if wearing heels . Which was super odd . But anywho I came for the happy hour . Drinks are advised 2 for 1. Food priced regularly . When the bill comes everything has a service charge aside from the tip . I will include my receipt so it shows what I'm referring too. When the bill came as usual I took a look . The drinks are priced as displaced on the website then there additional fees when asked why the waitress advised you pay extra for cocktails instead of on the rocks drinks . Despite ordering drinks named and priced something different . In example ordering a margarita but paying for tequila . Not a specific tequila but tequila in general. This was insane doesn't make sense no matter who explains it . Drink _: margaritas 2 for 1 Henny on the beach 2 orders of 2 for 1 But do look how it's broken down Food is good , music is good, staff is hit or miss . Hookah service was below average offered hookah for 2 hrs for 50 dollars and flavor went out after 20 minutes . I mentioned this and was advised can have it changed for an additional $25 dollars I could of bought 3 packs for that . Also 9 dollar service charge. I'm all for a business and understanding the cost of items but this place is ridiculous. Service charges were super high more than usual on top still having to also add a reasonable gratuity.

Lobster and waffles

Let me start off by saying it's my birthday weekend and I'm enjoying all the plans. The velvet lounge is the place to come for a great brunch vibe. Live DJ, amazing mimosas (orange pineapple). I was super hyped to orders the lobster and lamb chops since it's suppose to be a big hit.. unfortunately that didn't meet the expectation. I'm a seafood lover and I know good seafood. The lobster look good and appealing, but the smell and taste was horrific! It was spoiled tasting and it wasn't just mines, other people in my party also ordered the lobster had the same complaint. After we complained about it we were only five 50% off one lobster and one was taken off the menu.. still has to put for the remaining 3. Overall, I'll just come to enjoy the music but would not be ordering food.

Chicken and Waffles

I really wish I could give this place a higher rating because I love to advertise black establishments.. However, my first experience here wasn't the greatest! It was a second option because the first restaurant we went for brunch had a 2-hour wait. We saw on their Instagram page they were offering free mimosas with the purchase of an entree during brunch, so we thought it would be a great alternative! Mimosas were great and the food was tasty.. But our waitress got our order wrong at first and we never received our homestyle potatoes. Overall, I would suggest giving it a try if you're looking for hookah lounge/lit brunch vibes!

The food was tasty and very filling but the service for my friend was NOT! Our table had a large number of ppl, we made a reservation and was essentially being coerced to pay $500 / buying 2 bottles... it was just very messy. The ambiance was more of a club environment than a lounge but I guess‍. For our reservation also wasn't refunded... For me this place is no go. First and last time there.

I really enjoyed the vibe of this establishment. The food was great and the service was even better. Plus they have unlimited mimosas!!!

A night club during the day! Great business concept!!! Everyone is carded, wanded and bag searched by security at the door prior to entering. Great DJ Food is amazing! Hookah is available $50 So much fun on a Sunday!

3 for 1 drinks this is a Margarita! But VL Foreal though why do you have to get all 3 drinks at 1 time? Already got me like smh
Keisha R.

Sighhhh so my 1st time here& definitely my last! We walked in no one greeted us. The servers were all sitting by the bar chilling & smoke king hookah. So we had to seat ourselves...then we had to wait to get noticed then got service. I really try to support certain businesses but reasons like this is why I don't! The 3 for 1 drinks but u have to take all 3 drinks at the same time ! Who does that ? Just makes no sense. Tacos were very blah & could have been wayyyyy better. Just everything for me was a no! Hope they get it together in the near future cuz my 1st time there was an epic FAIL

Went for Sunday brunch and the food was not good. The music was good but just a little too loud for brunch setting. Our hostess was cool.

She did a great job balancing it all out but it was definitely not fair for her to be alone. We sat and looked at the menu for a moment. She let us know that there was a delay in the kitchen and we had to wait 30 minutes for our food. But that was ok we were there for good food, good drinks and a vibe so we didn't mind. What we ordered: Rum punch 10/10 Money drink 10/10 Grio with banan 10/10 Ribs with fries 10/10 The food was served hot and fresh! The music skipped a little but that was ok.

Overall my group had a decent time and really enjoyed the sax player. The lounge is a decent size, there are about 5 sections, normal seating at tables, and bar seating. The drinks were good and so were the wings we ordered. One of the members from my group had the rice in a pineapple, though it looked good she had to send it back because it didn't taste good. Our servicer was very attentive and friendly. She was patient and answered all of our questions. The reason for the three stars is because I tried to reach this establishment multiple times leading up to my birthday and didn't get a response until the day of. I called the number a different times during business and sent messages to their social media page to find out if I needed to make reservations. This nearly caused me to not even attend this establishment. Also on Wednesday if you have a group of 5 or more ladies you receive a free bottle of wine. I do wish we were able to choose the wine because we were given an extremely dry wine and no one drank it. So I feel that was wasteful.

Our waitress Lisa was AMAZING, attentive, warm, and on point all night The food? Whew. You can taste the love and soul in every bite.

The band was incredible, and what truly touched us was when the musicians gave us a shoutout, saying we inspired them because we were so into their music. That personal moment meant everything, especially since we were celebrating my partner's birthday This place isn't just a jazz club--it's an experience. We will definitely be back.

When we got there the hostess immediately asked us if we're one of the "late ones" that hasn't shown up yet. We showed her the email that states to come whenever yet she still argued it with us that it starts at 7:30. Also, the email states that you have to pay a $20 fee per person if you don't order food....yet they never mention that you have to order $20 worth of food PER PERSON. On top of that, there's a lovely $8 fee if you share your meal. Food portion was tiny and my shrimp meal had plastic in it. When I mentioned this to the waitress, the chef came out and argued that it was shell, to which I physically picked up the plastic and stretched it to show it was definitely not a shell. At the end of the meal we received our check and were informed that there is a "service fee" AKA the waitress added her own tip onto our check (she physically wrote in the tip on the check and even wrote the total). We were never informed about any service fee until the end of the meal. Extremely disappointed. Will not be going back.

I also have to give credit where it's due: the hookah was some of the smoothest I've had in a long time. That alone made the experience enjoyable. That said, there were a few issues. We didn't realize that they were only serving the happy hour menu, and at 7pm I was surprised to learn the regular menu wasn't available. Eventually, they allowed us to order 1 item off of the regular menu, but I've never been to a place that doesn't offer the full menu later in the evening. It was very odd -- especially since the happy hour portions were very small. Service was also slow. No waitress came to our table for a while, and the bartender ended up serving us for the first half of our visit on top of handling bar duties. She did a great job with what she had -- friendly and efficient -- but clearly the floor service needs support. Food was a mix of hits and misses. The lamb chops and spinach dip were standouts and really tasty. However, both shrimp dishes came out ice cold, and my friend (who loves oysters) did not enjoy the Rockefeller oysters, which says a lot. Overall, the vibe and venue are strong, and the hookah and music definitely add to the experience. But the service flow and food consistency need improvement. With a few operational fixes, this place could easily be a go-to spot.
