Octopus Kitchen & Hookah

The place was busy, so im glad we had a reservation. DJ was playing some Tunes. The food was ok. The shrimp basket was delicious. Drinks were good. Hookah was good. Nice upbeat atmosphere. Valet is $20 but i parked on the street.

Let me start off this review by saying amazing waitress, Kristen. She was the most kind and outgoing person ever. I am so glad that me and my mother had such an amazing waitress. The food was the BOMB! The wings were customizable and good. And don’t get me started on the fries. These were the best fries to ever touch my taste buds. These fries had to be made in France because they really put the French in the fries. The fries were so amazing I had to get another order and another to go. The environment was very comfy. It made me feel at home and I loved the music they were playing. The flowers and the couch section was my favorite part. The big screen tv playing football was amazing. If you don’t know about this restaurant one thing you should know is that it’s the best.

I’m somewhat of a regular here, and every time I visit the service is absolutely immaculate. Kristen is my favorite waitress she’s incredibly personable, attentive, and always makes sure I’m enjoying my experience from start to finish. She remembers the little details and makes you feel genuinely welcomed, which really sets this place apart. The staff overall is friendly, professional, and quick without ever making you feel rushed. The hookah always comes out quickly. You’re not waiting a long time for it and it’s very consistent. I’ve never had a bad hookah from here and I’ve been going here for a WHILE. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really tell care goes into both the service and the kitchen. Every dish I’ve tried has been delicious and well-seasoned, and the atmosphere always makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal and grab a bomb hookah

The girls and I had a blast here! So cute with good music and great vibes! Kristin was our server and she served hunny!! Can't wait to come back!!! 😊

Great customer service, and the environment was very relaxed and welcoming!😊Oh and the food was awesome, from the salmon to the filet mignon!!!🤤...And drinks were on point Thanx to "Jesus" the waiter/bartender!!!🙏🏽🥂🫶🏼

Asma was an amazing host at Octopus Kitchen Lounge! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Her professionalism, warm personality, and attention to detail truly elevated our experience. She was attentive without being overbearing, ensured everything ran smoothly, and created such a positive vibe for the night. Exceptional service and hospitality. We will definitely be back and hope to be hosted by Asma again!

Amyra was the best server. It was my first time coming, and she made the atmosphere wonderful. I loved the music, Halloween decor, and the food was also a plus. My friend and I will definitely be back ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the salmon pasta at Octopus and it was absolutely delicious! The salmon was perfectly cooked and the pasta was creamy, rich, and full of flavor—definitely one of the best I’ve had in a while. I also enjoyed a cocktail with my meal that was just as impressive—well-balanced, refreshing, and made with quality ingredients. The vibes were relaxed yet stylish, and the service was attentive and friendly. If you’re looking for a solid spot for great food and drinks, Octopus is it!

Place was nice and clean. Staff was friendly and our server Ari was very helpful and super sweet. Even though they were short staff, they still try to make the best for you. You should ask for Ari if anyone goes there. Price on drinks are unbeatable. Would come back for another great time.

So this review is tricky because food (the muscles 5 stars ) The kindness of our server (5 stars) The promotional deals( 5 stars) The way they finesse you (2 stars) I came here on a Friday evening because once you subscribe to their texts you get promo deals. They have 50% your tab hookah drinks food a straight 50% off. Me and my homegirl met for drinks and chit chat. **This would be my second time here ( came for my birthday gathering but I was drunk so I didn't leave a full review since it's not that accurate)** During the visit, our soccer was very nice. We sat on the outside patio. We had a couple rounds of drinks and Hookah on Friday. They have a free lemon drop shot. The shot didn't taste like the drink so I personally didn't like it. But I enjoyed the lemon drops that I paid for. Initially, I wanted to espresso martini, but they were short the ingredients at the bar so I was not able to indulge. Our server asked if we would prefer double shots and what type of liquor. And here's where the story goes wrong.- I did accept the double shot unknowing that the double shot was the same price of another drink plus a five dollar up charge for using termana. My drink was $12 but ended up being an extra 17 because of the double shy in this amount of making each drink almost $30. This was deterring because we were not advised upfront. We did not find out until we got our check so if you come be aware of the day do itemize every single thing we got extra bread with our muscles. We paid an extra four dollars for bread. We asked for water I believe the water was four dollars. The only thing we weren't charge for was the extra coal for the hookah. Again, the ambience wasn't mad. The service wasn't bad. Just be aware that they will nickel and dime ask 100,000 questions. I could've had two drinks for the price of one drink once they added all the extra add-ons..... and I went for the special so I probably could've got four drinks for the price of one drink had I been advised of the up charges. Other than that as a typical Atlanta spot, you are going to pay $20 to vallet. The music was pretty good. It was a good mix, but it's nothing to write home about. The vibe was very chilled just amongst the restaurant so they should've considered doing like a 90s vibe on Fridays it's real relaxed. I would definitely go back, but I would go back knowing not to get extra anything take it as the base price if you go for the 50% off weekend specials . It's the only way you're special. Will feel like you're actually getting something out of it.

Horrible experience -- beware before you go to Octopus Kitchen (Atlanta, GA) If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Let's start with the parking -- there's barely a parking lot, and it's outrageously priced. Before 7 p.m., it's $10, but most of the time it jumps to $20 or even $50 if you want to be close. Totally not worth it. Inside, the restaurant is tiny, the bar is small, and even though only three people were sitting there, it still took forever for someone to hand me a QR code for the menu. When I finally saw the menu, I was shocked -- lamb chops for $50, and that doesn't even include the sides listed under their other dinner options. The pricing is ridiculous for what you get. The interior itself felt grimy and unclean, definitely not the type of place that matches their high prices. On top of that, when I walked in, security immediately searched my purse and asked for ID -- which made me feel uncomfortable right away. The environment overall seemed more male-dominated, which would have been fine except I realized quickly this may be a known gay man hookup spot and that's okay but not what I expected and I didn't feel welcome. To make things worse, I was given an expensive bottled water without being asked whether I wanted bottled or tap -- while I literally watched other customers being served glasses of water. When I decided to leave (I was there less than 10 minutes total), the valet attendant said "no refunds" for the $10 parking. I politely asked who runs the parking lot since he claimed it wasn't owned by Octopus Kitchen. He stalled, went inside, and came back with a woman named Jocelyn, who said she was the manager. She couldn't (or wouldn't) provide the name of the company that runs the lot, saying they "don't know." At that point, three people surrounded me -- the valet, security, and the manager, which was completely unnecessary. I stayed calm and respectful the entire time, just asking who managed the parking. The situation felt unprofessional, unsafe, and borderline scammy. To top it off, the manager claimed the valet "didn't speak English," even though he had just spoken to me clearly. If that's true, it's even more concerning that someone who handles customers' vehicles and payments can't communicate effectively. Overall, this place is a complete disaster -- from the parking situation to the service to the overall atmosphere. I would never recommend Octopus Kitchen to anyone. It honestly felt like some kind of joke or social experiment in bad customer service. Save your time, your money, and your energy -- do not go here.

Stopped by on a random Saturday after receiving at text from them saying that everything was 50% off and who can pass up that great deal! Parking was $10 to self park or valet. My boyfriend and I stopped by midday, we didn't have a reservation, but we were quickly seated. We decided to sit out back on their outdoor patio and it was spacious, had tvs, and and a nice vibe! Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. For food; I went with the fried shrimp basket and my boyfriend went for the chicken plate. We both really enjoy our food and service!

It started of interesting, then reeeeally swung toward the positive. Parking is still a little weird, but we found a spot around the corner. Then we were able to get a table in the patio-like area, which has a pretty set up! You have to text a number to pull up the menu on the phone, BUT once we got our orders in, things started to look up! IMPORTANT TO NOTE: There is FREE hookah before 6pm on weekdays. Heart eyes, okay? They were out of a few wines we tried to order, but the bottle of Pinot Grigio we settled on was actually really tasty. And when the food came, the portions were HUGE! It was fried heaven and GREAT eating. I really like the calamari and truffle potatoes personally. Maybe next time I'll try the crab soup. Also a fan of the octopus egg rolls. The vibe was great and more people started to trickle in as the night went on, so it was active and the playlist was lit. We stayed longer than expected, and we would have stayed even longer if schedules allowed. In short, very pleased with my experience.

Overrated IMO. We made a reservation for the "garden". Not much of a garden, grass walls with a couple hanging plastic plants. After we were seated it took forever for our server to arrive. We ordered the fried calamari and a couple drinks. The calamari was seasoned well, but super greasy. Then we ordered hookah and a couple more drinks. The hookah was just ok and the drinks were decent. 4 drinks and one appetizer later, our bill was $200. Maybe that was bc they add a 20% gratuity to every bill. That on top of the $20 valet parking. Definitely not worth it.

Neg: The service was slow, seemed not to care I was there. The prices were insanely high, for example paid $38 for a well tequila and sprite. Pros: The seafood was very good. I didn't get it offered to use this time, but the complimentary hookah is also cool if you're looking for that.

March 2025: I kicked off my weekend at Octopus ATL, and let me tell you--it did not disappoint! If you're looking for a seafood and Mediterranean spot with great vibes in the heart of Atlanta, this is it. Our server was super friendly and helped us to navigate the menu to choose the most delicious menu items. Brunch here runs every Saturday & Sunday until 5 PM, and they do it right. I grabbed a seat on their gorgeous garden patio, enjoyed the fresh air, and indulged in: Chicken & Waffles - crispy, flavorful, and the perfect sweet-savory combo Lamb Chops & Eggs - cooked just right and packed with flavor Calamari - crispy and tender with the perfect dipping sauce Fried Shrimp - seasoned to perfection The music kept the energy high, the cocktails were chef's kiss, and the vibes? Absolutely unmatched. Plus, they've got $75 Moët Rosé bottles, shisha, and plenty of TVs if you're trying to catch the game. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a date night, or just switching up your usual brunch plans--Octopus ATL is definitely worth checking out! 1551 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 Will I be back? Absolutely.

Octopus kitchen is my go to for free hookah and great food. The ambiance is a vibe and they have good food and music. If you need a great server make sure you ask for Izzy. She is amazing!

It's no wonder they constantly have to send out "50% off your entire bill" text promotions--because the lack of patrons likely stems from poor integrity and terrible communication. We recently dined here using one of those offers, and it became clear that the deal is misleading. They try to charge gratuity based on the pre-discount total, not your actual final bill. Our bill came to $160 after the discount, but they calculated gratuity based on the original $300 total. That's not only unethical--it's actually illegal. It felt like a scam and completely soured our experience. On top of that, they push the $25 brunch bottles hard because it's extremely low-quality brut. Any time we've tried to order one of the other proseccos or the $75 Moët bottle (which should be half off too), they suddenly "ran out." It's very obvious they do this to avoid honoring the better-value deals they promote. This was our last time dining here. My husband and I shouldn't have to argue over a bill that's intentionally padded and wrong. There are too many other restaurants in the city with great food, better service, and most importantly--honest business practices.

I brought my friends here who were visiting New York and was severely embarrassed. I had a truly disappointing experience at Octopus Kitchen. From the moment we walked in, the service was unwelcoming. Both the manager and our server gave us a hard time when we tried to use a valid 50% off code--they treated us like we were trying to cheat the system instead of honoring the promotion they advertised. On top of the poor attitude, the restaurant was not clean. There were flies around our table, which made it hard to enjoy our meal. To make matters worse, they charge $20 for valet parking and offer no validation. It's ridiculous to pay that much when you're already spending your money at their establishment. Between the unfriendly staff, unsanitary conditions, and unreasonable parking fees, this was a complete waste of time and money. I won't be back and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The food was good but it didn't outweigh the other circumstances.

I was wishing for a good vibe, but it didn't happen. The service was not up to par, so I figured the gratuity was going to be included. Our waitress was nice but having to ask for things multiple times is ridiculous. The crab soup was decent but a little salty. The octopus egg rolls weren't good. The mixed salad was mainly shredded carrots and a little lettuce. The music was extremely loud so we couldn't even hear the waitress when she spoke to us. When we went to retrieve our vehicle, the valet refused to give us our key and attempted to charge an additional $50. That clearly wasn't going to happen, so I just took the keys and we left. I gave two stars because the sparkling water was good.

We came mid day on a Sunday. The place wasn't too busy. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was hit and miss.. we liked the truffled potatoes appetizer and calamari. We were not fans of the crab soup. The Sautéed Octopus stole the show, it was delicious. The mussels were tender but the creamy sauce was almost overly rich.. the linguine was ok. Overall, we enjoyed our time. The only thing that would make me go back however, was the octopus dish.

So I met a friend for lunch here when they had a 50% special on the entire menu. She'd been but it was my first time. We both had lamb chops. I substituted the rice and broccoli that it usually comes with for a double side of fries. I do wish there was more variety in the sides but the fries were really good. Lamb chops were tender and juicy. The place is small but it's a cute little feel. They have hookah too for those that like it. Our waiter was really nice too. No complaints about her. A 20% gratuity is added which was fine with me. I'd go back for. Just don't like the parking situation. Valet is $30 so I parked across the street and just walked over.

What a weird little place. This place is prime for a pros and cons list: Pros: food is great and fresh, service is great, hookah burned great, ambiance is quirky, vibe is distinctly Atlanta, and the bar is impressive in terms of look and variety. There are TVs everywhere and I love watching sports so that's fun too. I like the decorations a lot as it has an updated but older feel with character. Cons: this place is very, VERY overpriced. Salad, 5 shrimp, and rice for $41 is just unnecessary. I got metal detected upon walking in which was fine except that means there's a reason they're metal detecting on the way in which is not great. "Standard" valet was $20 to move my car maybe 5 feet. This place has no idea what to be. Is it an upscale seafood restaurant? A hookah lounge? A sports bar? A club? Yes to all. I'm not mad about it as the concept seems viable enough. It's just confusing and a bit of a rip. 4/5

I went on Valentine's Day which is probably the main reason for the over-crowding. We were initially sat at a table between two other tables but the tables were so close it felt like we were on a date with the 4 ppl beside us. Idk if this was just due to it being Valentine's Day or if it's always set up in this manner. Luckily we were able to move to the bar and that was much more comfortable. We ordered drinks, amazing margaritas btw!, and had the shrimp basket and lemon pepper buffalo wings and a Caesar salad. The food came out pretty quickly given the crowd and everything was delicious. The music was creating a great vibe and the service was great. I'll definitely try it out again.

My fish was REALLY REALLY good, my husbands pasta was a bit bland and the shrimp were overcooked, the drinks were SKRONG! This is the perfect place to meet up with a friend to have cocktails to talk crap about your work week, do a little hookah, and listen to your favorite jams. My husband and I went here for a date night, and though it wasn't what we expected it was a really good vibe and would come back again. I will say the service was a bit slow but our server was nice and the owner was really friendly as well.

Celebrated my 45th bday here, this past Saturday, 11-25-2023. I made reservations for a party of 25 ppl for 6:30. My first impressions when I walked in was, I thought it was small, and thought I was a bit over-dressed, but hey it was my bday, so I dressed for MY NIGHT! The hostess at the front was very young and apparently didn't know much about the restaurant or valet parking info. We were seated in the very front b/c that's the area that they reserved for us. Our waitress, Roxy was attentive and very helpful...well at least to me. One of my guests said that she was rude to them. Also, one more thing to add, from the pics. I thought that this was more of a classy, grown n sexy spot...NOT! However, it was still nice! The waitresses had on booty shorts...not a good look to celebrate a grown n sexy bday...but hey..is what it is! I ordered fried shrimp as an appetizer, which was very tasty. For my entree' I ordered the lamb chops...VERY GOOD! So good, that my friend n her husband was picking at my leftover bones!! LMBO!! My husband initially ordered the seafood pasta, which he returned b/c he didn't know it was spicy and he said that it wasn't good AT ALL! His replacement order was shrimp pasta which he said was a much better choice! Be aware that parking is a bit confusing! We valet ($20) parked, but mostly everyone else parked in other areas close to the restaurant and just walked the short distance. All in all, we had a good time and enjoyed the food and drinks! P.S. I didn't receive my complimentary champagne that I was included, but not a big deal b/c I'm not a big drinker. Also, hookah was complimentary (which I did receive).

I visited this place today. I had a hard time finding parking so I had to call. I get the info (valet only). I'm fine with that. I get sat in the back and Izzy is our server. She is nice. We asked for water but she didn't mention it is a $4 bottle until the check comes. I asked about the date special I had seen online (they don't tell you about it). We order oyster appetizer. It took so long. We are sitting by a window so we see her when she leaves from the back to the front. She is mingling with her coworkers up front. The oysters aren't at the table. Not sure why but she stayed up front while someone else brought the oysters back to us. The meals are brought out a short time later. The Turf in the Surf and Turf was tender but overcooked (ordered medium- received medium well). The lobster had no seasoning - no butter, no garlic. The lamb chops were tough and overcooked as well. It had no seasoning. I asked for salt and pepper but it did nothing to help the flavor. Then comes the check. The check is presented on the black thing in her hand. She goes over the check but conveniently does not scroll to the bottom. But I am a numbers person and 100 for the date night special plus 8 for the 2 waters does not make anything 140. So I told her she is moving too fast and asked her what the difference was. She says taxes. By this time I done moved that tab back to the receipt side (she had done moved to the tip screen). I scroll to the bottom. I asked her what the $20+ was for (taxes were like $8). My friend says gratuities. So now I am angry - not because I wasn't going to tip but because she left that out and tried to get me to do an ADDITIONAL tip! She says she was going to mention it. No you weren't. You were on the screen telling me to select a tip. So then she says it is on the menu. No. It is not. The menu is digital. So after I paid, she left and NEVER came back to the table. I looked on the site for this 20% on all tabs. No where to be found. I like to try new restaurants but I won't be back to this one. And I won't refer anyone. Because all she had to do was BE HONEST. Don't try to get over on people who visit your establishment. I also drove from Augusta just to visit...2 hour drive to get disappointed! Food: 2/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 4/5

I would recommend shrimp and grits Waitress service - great Wait time - 10-15 mins Food - wings, and tings Ambiance- nice spot to grab lunch or dinner Overall I would come back had a great time

OK, first I'm gonna start by saying I usually stay away from the grass wall warriors but my friend invited me out for 404day so I decided to give it a try. We were overcharged the full amount after showing our half off text code and they refused to refund or reimburse us. The food was straight and the drinks were good. Also, why is water $4? I asked for a glass and got a bottle, that's just insane for a restaurant lounge especially. The place is a little crammed as well but at least it's clean.

I went here for my birthday, on a Thursday night and it wasn't busy at all. The vibes here were very date night-ish. (My birthday is also day before valentines so that could be why) The food tasted pretty good and I love the time I got to spend with my man here. One thing I would have to say is that, the tables are relatively small compared to the plate sizes, so we had to squeeze our plates onto the table. Also, when I asked if they do anything free for birthdays they mentioned they don't have any deserts right now but they could bring me a bottle of champagne, but in the end they ended up charging me for it. But all in all it was a pretty place to eat but I wouldn't go back.

Came here on a Friday around 7 it wasn't too busy but started to pickup around 8. The space is cute, very picturesque and the food was very good. I had the blackened salmon Alfredo and the only thing was that the Alfredo sauce was watery and i had to add more seasoning. The other ick was that we were asked to cash out because we were at the only two top table and they had a reservation for the table. I didn't understand, but they gave us a complimentary shot and we were just sitting and talking by that time anyway. They also are the only place that i know that gives FREE HOOKAH every day if you're sitting at the bar. There are only about 10 seats. 1st come 1st serve!

The service and food were excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and flavor of the dishes, especially considering the ambiance was just okay. Octopus Kitchen has a lounge-like atmosphere with sports playing on the TVs, and they check IDs at the door. I can see this being a great place to go after work or just a chill place to grab something to eat with some friends.

Ace was our server and such a delight. Very attentive, very knowledgeable and friendly with impeccable service. Please be sure to ask for Ace. I will not be returning because I do not like establishments with surprise charges or bait and switch promotions. This establishment charges 20% of a pre discount subtotal as gratuity automatically to your bill without any pre warning or knowledge. They get you in the door with a 50% of tab promotion and then they charge 20% of gratuity based off your tab BEFORE the discount and add it to your bill. The gratuity is added No matter the number in your party. Valet parking is also $20.

Valet parking-$25 on a Friday night We were sat almost immediately Music was good, not too crowded Our waitress was nice and made sure to Let us know about hookah and drinks I had a Caesar salad which was HUGE but good I ordered the shrimp Alfredo added a lobster tail Lobster was undercooked In the middle but shrimp And pasta were great! I had a Hennessy margarita which was also good Would have given 5 stars if they had parking and a cooked lobster

I love when they send the 50% off your bill text on random weekends. So far been here 4 times I always have the fish fried Lamb chops are really good too. And the backlava

Typical Atlanta lounge/restaurant environment. From the outside it looks small, but they actually have quite a few tables and a bar.. Parking is a bit tricky, they offer valet but we ended up parking across the street and walking. We went in on a Friday night and promptly seated at a small table. Our waitress was attentive and fast, the music was great and the atmosphere was pretty lively as a few tables around us were celebrating birthdays and a few tables were on dates. I took off a few points cause the drinks were not sweet and tasted like straight LICKA but in the long run weren't very strong. The food was just okay to me and a bit overpriced for alfredo. The hookah was hitting though!

Visited Octopus Kitchen for the first time to celebrate my cousin's birthday. The location is in a small lot so there is only valet parking if you do not rideshare or park on the street. Once you enter the restaurant after being checked by security, decor is very aesthetically pleasing with dripping flowers from the ceiling and flower walls. The vibe is loungey with music, hookah and bottle service but everyone is seated at tables. We had a large party so they were nicely accommodating as the restaurant is pretty small. They only split checks in two for large parties. The drinks were great, very strong but tasty. We only ordered the apps: fried calamari and lemon pepper wing plate and the portions were very generous but the taste left a bit to be desired. The wings were fried too hard and the calamari was flavorful but a bit on the gummy side. I would return for drinks but that's about it.

Good service and good here. They offer hookah specials when you sit at the bar. The octopus roll is definitely recommend trying them. I had the salmon as for the butter sauce on top with rice is so good and asparagus which i was not a fan of. They have a cute hallway with flowers for your photo ops. They offer valet parking which seems to be limited the lot is tiny however there is a plaza across the street (IYKYK).

Cute date/chill spot with good hookah, music & food/drinks. I ordered the whole Mediterranean sea bass..came w/ basmati rice & a mixed green salad w/lemon caper on the side (which I didn't care for) it has an acquired taste. The fish was roasted/seasoned well and the lemon drop martini was perfectly made!

This is a cute spot.. but the parking is less than desirable.. went for 12 am dinner, and the place was packed so that's a good sign.. we didn't even end up getting dinner because the appetizers were decent sized.. the chicken and fries were good, and so was the soup and the potatoes.. my lemon drop was good but those cups are so small you barely get any of the drink so far the price they need to get a bigger cup..

Where do I begin? We called to ask about parking. They said they have valet. They failed to mention it is $20!!! There is no parking lot. We found street parking across the street. The waitress was playing with her hair as she was telling us how to get the menu on our phone. The QR code sends you a text instead of taking you to the website. That's a sneaky way of getting your phone number. They do not have Diet Coke, Coke, Zero, or even unsweetened tea. So we asked for water. The waitress returns with two bottles of water. As she was about to open a bottle I asked if there is a charge and she said yes $4. So no tap water, but $4 for bottled water that she failed to tell me ahead of time. Uh, no thanks!! I asked if they have broiled or grilled octopus. She said no. Then she said yes we have sautéd. So the waitress doesn't know the difference. At this point, my friend and I got up and left. Maybe the food is good but it wasn't worth staying to find out.

This place was a lot better than expected. $20/$50 valet was a turn off to start things off. There is an ID check and a pat down, it was more club than restaurant overall. Once we were sat which was pretty quick(we had a reservation) we were greeted and service was very good the young lady waiting on us was very attentive... the menu doesn't have anything they just jumps out at you and it is a bit pricey so we played it conservative with calamari, wings and fried shrimp .. all of the food came out pretty fast and was good . This place was more of a lounge or hookah bar environment which wasn't bad we were just expecting more of restaurant.. the music was a strip club vibe... none of this is bad if that's what you want .. today I just wanted to eat.

Came here with a friend to try it out since there's so much social media hype about it. We arrived at about 11:30pm on Friday. Valet was $20 even though the car was parked the small lot right outside the door. Entry was free and we sat at the bar. We got absolutely no service. No one even glanced at us. I saw a guy next me me with a hookah so i asked him how he got his hookah since no one had come over here. He said he works there and was kind enough to go grab someone to assist us. I ordered a dry martini. However the drink i was given was super sweet. I asked the bartender what he put in it. He said simple syrup, vodka and lemon juice. Thats a lemon drop, not a martini. I explained to him how to nake a martini but what he repoured tasted like all vermouth. I didn't finish my drink. The only pro was the music was good otherwise, this is just another overhyped place from social media.

This place should not be a restaurant on Resy.. it's simply a bar and hookah club lounge.. very loud music.. we didn't even get to try the food due to the parking situation ( $20 valet only parking ) and no tap water served.. only water is bottled water for a cost. Furniture was cracked in many places and only customers inside were there for hookah.. definitely not a restaurant for dining but more of a hookah lounge with food

Valet Parking Only however there is a lot in the rear of the plaza and you walk around to the entrance. Security at entry Staff was really friendly. The decor was super cute. Open seating for Thursday. Price point for the area is on target but the drinks and food were good. The drinks were very good quality and I appreciate the variety of options. $16 per drink price point. I had the calamari. It's like my chicken fingers at a restaurant and they were good. The potatoes that were served with were not great with the crispy calamari so I stole some of my friends fries. The coconut shrimp needed a bit more seasoning but the shrimp was juicy! Average bill $50 per person with tip. Three drinks and a food item then you are pushing $100. Definitely recommend for drinks. Cheers.

Came here for a group dinner and they sat us at a table that couldn't even accommodate the entire party. Then, we moved tables and no one came to service us for 10 minutes. The restaurant at this point was still very empty. I ordered mussels and fries and was disappointed. The mussels were overcooked, fishy, and the sauce had minimal flavor. Parking was also very expensive. They have a small lot for $30 (but I heard they just through out a number and it changes sometimes). I'd just park at the lot across the street or behind the restaurant.

This was very disappointing. Being forced to buy off brand bottles of water was just the beginning of an under par experience The calamari should come with high blood pressure warning. The shrimp was over cooked and dry, Hoe that happens sitting in liquid is crazy. Over cooked crab. No crackers no wet wipes. Had to ask for extra napkins

Pretty okay. Drinks were fine, i think it was a coconut margarita that i enjoyed so much. Pasta was bland.. had to ask for more seasoning. The octopus egg rolls were my absolute fav. Our waitress just seemed irritated all night like she didn't want to be there. Mediocre experience..

Our server Kimberly was amazing and our food was cooked to perfection . Can't wait to come back !!

Pros- service, hookah and the vibe. I went there for fight night to catch the boxing game and it was a great place to watch. The people there were cool. Cons- the food. Everything was almost bland. Looked nice but didn't yeasts great. You have to pay for valet as there isn't free parking at the premises.

I've been coming here for a while now, and every visit is a great experience thanks to kristen!! You can tell they genuinely care about both the guests and the staff. She's always welcoming, attentive, and quick to make sure everything runs smoothly.

We sat for 15 mins at our table with no one greeting us or taking orders. Had multiple servers walk past us. Disappointed !!

My Octopus experience was so so great. Christine took really great care of me. She was so kind and attentive to everything that I needed. I always admire such great service and I was so happy that I got to experience this at one of my favorite places! My Shrimp Cesar Salad was nice and fresh and my drinks were really tasty and strong! I honestly have no complaints. Thank you guys again for making my experience so great and I will definitely be back again!

came to kick off my 26th birthday and everything was phenomena. Izzy took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed and she had personality! I've been coming here for years and they never disappoint on quality and hospitality. Thank you Izzy helping kick off my 26th the right way

I came here with a friend on a Friday night. We pulled up and the lot attendant said it's $20 to park; it's a not a huge establishment and the parking lot is even smaller. He did tell us we could park in the plaza lot behind the Chevron. We parked there but it was still a bit nerve wrecking to leave the car in the lot; there's plenty of businesses over in the plaza though and lots of cars were parked there. They take reservations but we sat at the bar to watch a game. They have plenty of TVs, so we could have sat anywhere for that reason. The DJ played good music and a great deal of throwbacks. There's indoor and patio seating too. Pretty chill environment, so most people were casually dressed. I enjoyed the hookah, drinks, and food. The bartender made a perfect Hennessy margarita. He had good service too, so I wasn't mad about the automatic 20% gratuity. The shrimp Alfredo pasta was creamy, yummy, goodness! I would come again. Great vibes.

Another one that does not make the cut. I found this place while browsing Yelp! The pictures make the and the ambiance looked cute. As such, some friends and I opted to try this spot out for lunch on Sunday. I made reservations for 1:30pm via the Resy app a few days period to Sunday with no problems. Finding this spot is pretty easy. It's on the corner of piedmont and Monroe Rd. It is directly across from a Chevron service station. The building itself is not very pretty. It's a basic white building. The parking lot is tiny. Luckily we were the first guests to arrive so we had no problem parking. It does appear that valet parking is mandatory at a certain tine. The staff immediately greeted us as we walked inside. We were immediately seated and our drink order was taken. The decor is cute, particularly in the area where you can do hooka. It is very feminine and I think it would make the cut for being instagram worthy! I ordered a Caesar salad, octopus egg rolls and she soup. The food came out fairly quickly. While I really enjoyed my Caesar sale, I was not crazy about the other items. The soup missed the mark, and I honestly did not taste the octopus in the egg rolls. My meal with gratuity was $59! For me, the place is over priced. The one thing I will give kudos to is the service! Our wait staff was nothing short of amazing! She was wearing many hats to include, host, waitress and bartender and was killing all of them!

Made a reservation for 8pm. Did not expect a huge rush the day after Valentine's Day but was being proactive. The issues started right as we were trying to park. Tried to pull in to valet, then suddenly an suv was flying out backwards from the lot right as I was pulling in. It was discovered it was the valet who obviously was not paying attention. I'm stopped in the middle of the road now and almost get hit by the backing up SUV. After an evasive maneuver I was able to not get hit for a second time by on coming traffic. Finally able to find a safe parking spot...nobody who is that irresponsible with someone's car is ever going to drive mine thanks Walked up to the door and immediately stopped by the bouncer who promptly started to put on gloves. I smiled and stated we have a reservation and told her my name I was then curtly asked for my identification. I'm immediately thrown off, if an ID was required at the door why was that not a requirement for the reservation. After I was vetted, I was then told my small purse needed to be searched. I will admit, I did have a pocket knife in my very small purse. I was then sneered at like I was bringing in a vile of small pox. At this point I am upset, I felt like I was being treated as if I was doing something illegal. We were denied entry until we put the pocket knife in the car. With only being there for about three minutes they did not appear busy. This alone makes me question their door vetting. The whole experience will forever keep me from coming back. It's unreasonable to treat anyone who comes in the door as if they are first underaged and a criminal all at the same time. For $42 bucks for a plate of sea bass which I would have been fine paying if the door treatment was not what it was. Had a reservation over a week prior assuring a fun date night out. We ended up next door at Varuni Napoli! They were warm wonderful and welcoming. Their food was great and I will be leaving a separate review for them.
