Really pretty atmosphere. I really enjoyed the vibe here. Staff were nice and the drinks and food were good but the baklava was amazing. I usually don’t even like baklava but theirs was really good. It’s a perfect summer time spot. Will be returning. Price per person $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Baklava

So, my servers weren't rude, like a lot of the other reviews say, they were just inattentive. I had to frequently wait for someone to make rounds to ask for more drinks or dessert.. Eh.. the food/drinks.. The drinks were small, the food portion size was small, and they came out in small plastic cups and plastic containers. The food was good. I just don't think the experience was worth the drive from NJ, and the parking garage fees. We also had to pay 20$ per person as a cover to get in. It wasn't a crowded Saturday night. Anyway, It was very nice inside and the music was also nice. I just think I could've spent my money elsewhere. It was a nice experience, but I don't think i'll be back.

The food was delish and service was quick and efficient. i got the strawberry patron margarita and it was tasty. I went on a week day and it was pretty early so it was nearly empty when i first got there but the top floor was filling up quickly as the day went along. it was a nice vibe

Our time spent here was great! The food is surprisingly delicious and the drinks were great. We also had hookah which was reasonably priced and really good! There was a cover charge at the door, which was weird, but whatever. We had a nice lounge experience. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+

10 dollar cover charge per person and the place was dead. The bill was 68 dollars for a single drink and hookah. 18% gratuity is include but it isn’t explicitly said on the check. As I was signing the check the waitress watched over me as I was trying to figure out if the gratuity was already accounted for or not. Feeling pressured I decided to just tip 10 bucks (we had only been there for about 30 minutes). The waitress asked me to tip in cash instead of with card so I handed her 20 bucks. She took the 20 and didn’t give me back any change. Over $100 between the bill, cover charge, gratuity and the tip I didn’t get change on for a drink and hookah. Definitely go somewhere else. Price per person $50–100 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

There was a 10 dollar cover charge which I personally have never had a cover charge for a hookah lounge but whatever. They were dead at 9:30 on a friday and the waitress started seating us at a nice booth before trying to move us to a dingy table "in case we get busy." The waitress was clearly annoyed we wanted mostly hookah and just one cocktail. When we went to pay, the waitress quite literally stood over our shoulder and watched us write a ten dollar tip (in addition to the included 18% gratuity) before insisting we scratch out the tip and pay her cash instead. We gave her 20 and expected her to return with the rest but just disappeared. Rude service and she basically stole from us. Do not go. Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

When I first arrived I really enjoyed the ambience. Bar service was great, the two girls serving were amazing and made sure I was taken care of. Aside from that. I will NOT be returning to this establishment due to a man going up to the servers and began cursing and yelling at then for nonsense. I later learned that he was one of the owners speaking very harshly to the servers. Which he then turned and cursed at me for sticking up for them. I was willing to continue enjoying my night and buying drinks, but after that I will never give those owners a dime. Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Went for the “sky bar” and if you’re looking for a city view this is not the place for you. That’s fine though, my review is not about that. This is also a hookah bar and when we turned it down simply just wanting drinks and food with a view, our server seemed displeased… okay. The food came out quickly and was quite good but was cold. When I say it came out quick it was less than five minutes after ordering. The drinks weren’t good either. If I’m ordering a mixed drink I expect it to taste like a specialty drink, not rubbing alcohol. Okay fine, maybe that’s just my taste. So we decided to leave as it wasn’t the spot for us. The server all of a sudden started being extremely rude to us, muttering under her breath and copping attitude that we were leaving…? The rest of our time there waiting for our check and the box for our food felt very uncomfortable and unwelcoming. There was also a $20 PER PERSON charge to get in. We were seated immediately with no wait, so why the entrance fee. $40 just to get in and get bad drinks, cold food, no view, and less than stellar service is a no for me. I was extra friendly hoping the servers attitude would change, but it did not… save your money. Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person $50–100 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes Sweet and Sour Salmon

This should be called a Club, Bar, anything but a Lounge or Restaurant! Huge SCAM NO CITY VIEWS THEY HAVE THE TERRANCE covered with white boards so you can’t see anything, No city views like in the old pictures, probably was nice at some point, but that was last decade the place is in shambles now! They don’t take reservations ok It’s was my Birthday so I was looking for a restaurant with a view since I had guests from out of town. There was a $20 cover PP, I’m new to town and trying to find something else with my guests 7 standing at the door, I gave in. I asked the guy at the door charging is this a restaurant? Ppl where dressed in club attire, he said yes. Asked are they tables he just said first come. Well we where already there. We go in no tables first floor big dance floor tho, the only table is in front stairs on the top floor, so we ask to sit outside. We are told it is bottle service only $300 After back and forth In so embarrassed my guests are trying to say it’s ok, but I give in get a bottle. No other tables outside around us have bottles. They scammed us! Music was horrible worst mumble Rap all night the DJ is so bad. Not even going to talk about the bathroom....NEVER AGAIN!!!

Does this bellong to you?
