We made reservations for 8:30pm on a Saturday night. The place was packed, but we didn’t have to wait. The seats were comfortable and the DJ was doing his big one! EVERYONE was having a good time! The music was loud, but not unbearable. Felt like we were in a nightclub, which is the experience I believe they’re going for. If the music were lower, it would be weird. Our drinks were good (we both ordered the THC) and our food was great. We had chicken wings, a shrimp and macaroni dinner, and the teriyaki lamb chops. The customer service was EXCELLENT. All the servers were upbeat and smiling. The food was paced well. The 18% automatic gratuity is listed on the website and on the menu, so if you’re unaware, you’re not paying attention. We actually added more to the gratuity because our server was so attentive. Next time we’re in Charlotte we’re definitely coming back.

We weren’t aware it was an actual hookah lounge. It was very dark ans the music was extra loud but thebcibe was there. Just wasnt what we expected. Beautiful decor and the staff was great. The food was amazing. Not a single thing we didn’t like and the drinks were on point. Would absolutely return for the salmon ceasar alone. They were out of a couple menu items but we tried everything else we wanted.

The food was presented well, it looked very nice but it wasnt good. My husband ordered lemon pepper wings but they forgot the lemon pepper. My husband asked for more seasoning. We also ordered a caesar salad and that was the best thing on the table!!! I ordered the cajun pasta for myself & it lacked flavor. I dont say this to be rude but I couldn’t taste anything. Our waitress was a sweet lady. She was busy and tried her best to keep checking on us as we waited for our food. As far as atmosphere, i think its definitely a vibe but like other reviewers; the music was wayyyyy too loud for that size establishment.

I this this place is just okay. It has potential and there were some good aspects of the food and environment. My friend got lamb which was really good. I had shrimp and grits. I know it’s a “thing” to leave the shell on the tail but it’s ridiculously inconvenient. You can’t eat the shell and it’s swimming in grits so unless you feel like fishing it out to pull off the shell, you end up just wasting half of the shrimp. Shrimp was well seasoned, the grits were not, and they were undercooked and soupy. I understand, though, that it’s probably an issue with consistency depending on who is in the kitchen that day.
The atmosphere was good. Live DJ playing good music. It was quite loud though. Felt like we were yelling at each other the entire time. Once more people came in, it got even louder.
We ordered mimosas which was probably the best thing I had there. Great flavor and they definitely do not skimp on how much they give you.
Overall I had a good time with my friends, but I don’t think I would return.

We went here to eat for a team outing. The food was good. I got the salmon bites, hot honey wings and sweet potato fries. The salmon was ok but the fries and chicken were good! Our waitress was very attentive and friendly! I didnt have a drink but others who dined with me said there drinks were really good!

My only complaint was the volume of the music which absolutely matched the vibe. Staff was amazing. Food was great. I would definitely celebrate there again.

Not from Charlotte. But my girlfriend and I decided to take a little trip for the weekend. We were recommended to come to the spot and we obliged.
Out the gate we noticed that making a reservation will go a long way. It definitely guaranteed seating for us.
One of the things that stuck out was the pricing. Mac and Cheese was $15?! A double shot was $39?! Now mind you… that price alone would make you say “damn, It must be hitting on something for that price”. Like at least a fair portion size. But unfortunately…. it was childish of them to provide you with a small portion.
The DJ was on point so no complaints there atmosphere was decent. But overall it’s a three from me.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would! After a day of fun, a group of us decided to go here for dinner on a Saturday. The wait for our initial waters was over 20 minutes. After our food was brought to us there were no additional check ins from the waiter, which extended to waiting for another 15-20 minutes after we finished our food. As we were sitting and waiting, I look over to the right and see a roach crawling through the restaurant. I could feel my stomach drop in that moment after we just completed our meal, which did disappoint. The salad was somewhat soggy, crab bites overcooked – the wings were the only thing that was good based on my experience.
I brought up the roach to the waiter and she had a bad attitude and just said “okay” rolled her eyes and walked away. There was no apology or surprise in her reaction (which meant it must of happened often)… then we proceeded to still wait for a check. I had to get up and go ask someone to find the manager.
The manager comes and states he will talk to the waitress but we are expected to pay the full bill as he claimed it’s just a “water bug” and normal since it rained and they are surrounded by fields. At this point, it’s not even about the roach – the whole customer service experience made this dining experience very uncomfortable.
The manager offered a round of drinks but we declined as we stated I’m on a fast and another pregnant… asked for another solution, which proceeded to them still wanting us to pay the full bill. We paid and won’t be coming back.

The server was A1 she was super cool and our drinks were good but the food wasn’t it! I had the snapper and grits with creole sauce and eggs. The grits were watery, the creole sauce had no flavor and was watery too, the eggs were extremely overcooked and hard, the snapper was good but that was it. The hookah is electric which I didn’t like at all because you have to pull so much harder to get any smoke or flavor. All around, I wouldn’t come back. First time in Charlotte and first stop, this is not a good way to start off Charlotte lol.

Sometimes a limited menu means the restaurant specializes in the items listed. In this case I would agree. The food was delicious especially if you like spice. I’d recommend you request no or light Cajun seasoning for a kid in which a kids menu does not apply but one adult portion would be plenty for two small children. This was a last minute spot in the area but did deliver exceptional service. Perfect for a date night
