Skyvibe Restaurant and Lounge

Unfortunately, my experience here was not great. We arrived with a party of 11 around noon on a Sunday for brunch for a bachelorette party. Everyone in the group was excited because the restaurant looked very inviting and had good vibes. The music that was playing was very loud and we could barely hear each other over it. Additionally, we waited over an hour for our food to come out and there was a gap of at least 30 minutes between the first meal coming out and the last. The mimosas the party ordered were also lukewarm and clearly not refrigerated prior to serving. But the worst of it is that multiple people had moldy, burnt, or undercooked food. We were compensated, however, serving burnt, moldy, and raw food to a table is unacceptable and dangerous. Not to mention we spent two hours at the establishment to not even get to finish our meals because we couldn’t eat them. Very disappointed and I hope that the manager takes the criticism that was given and fixes the establishment because it could be a very nice spot in Laurel.

The decor is great. The customer service was impeccable. The drinks were nicely made 💪🏾, and the food was also good. I liked the vibe of the restaurant. They had an outside area, but I dined inside since the guests were enjoying hookah, and I am sensitive to smoke 😶‍🌫️ . I would visit again.

This could’ve easily been a 3-star review—but let me tell you why it’s not. Yes, the goat stew was a miss—came out lukewarm and tough after a long wait. I ordered the salmon bites as a replacement, but they arrived overcooked with a fishy smell—another miss. That could’ve been the end of the night, but SkyVibe's staff handled it with grace. No attitude, no pushback—just solid, professional customer service all around. The beef suya came out quick, and it was everything. You could smell the grill before it hit the table—charred just right, tender, and full of flavor. The extra side of spice, fresh onions, and even the toothpicks? Thoughtful touches. And that pepper sauce I requested? Spicy, rich, and delicious - so flavorful I used it for both the suya and the goat. The plantains were golden on the outside with caramelized edges, soft and sweet inside. One of the best bites of the night. Drinks were well made (though a lemon in the Lemon Drop and lime Garnish in the margarita upfront would’ve elevated them). Fortunately, the bartender was quick to provide when asked. The vibes—with a live DJ—made it a night worth repeating. Would I come back? Absolutely—for the suya, the cocktails, the energy, and most of all, the way the staff handled things with grace. SkyVibe isn’t perfect, but it knows how to recover—and that counts. Bottom Line: Go to SkyVibe if you're looking for strong drinks, flavorful suya, a lively atmosphere, and top-tier customer service. It’s the kind of place for people who care more about vibes and experience than a flawless meal. Perfect for a night out with friends, music, and cocktails—but if you’re expecting consistent execution across the full menu, just know it's hit or miss. Come for the energy, not just the entrée.

Here's a draft for your Google review: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently dined here, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was a perfect 10/10—inviting and vibrant. Our server, Jay, was truly immaculate. She was attentive, charismatic, and a fantastic guide, helping us navigate the menu with ease. The food was absolutely delicious, earning a solid 10/10, and the drinks were impressive as well, with a rating of 9.5/10. However, the standout of the evening was definitely the exceptional service provided by Jay. Her warm personality and attention to detail made our dining experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a great night out with amazing food and top-notch service, this is the place to be!

We came here on a Saturday evening around 7pm. We didn't have a reservation; however, they were still able to seat our party of 4 outside. Initially it was alright but after we placed our order it literally took 50min for us to get our food. Not one time did the waiter stop by our table to check on us in between that time. I was trying to be patient but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what was taking so long. I'm not sure how many people they had on the inside but 50min is crazy. Once the food finally came out, it was very "mid". I thought to myself, "THIS is what we waited so long for" lol. Also, they didn't have one of the main entrees on the menu. I guess they either ran out for the day or were waiting on a shipment, who knows. Not a place I would return to!

If I could give zero stars, I would. First time ever going and I will never be back. Upon arrival, a hostess did not even greet us, but rather aggressively demanded we wait for her to finish speaking with another party. A different host came to take us to the bar area, and the initial host got very hostile, telling us in order to enter the BAR it would be a minimum of $200. We ignored her and walked in. Then, our simple wings took 40 minutes to arrive, and were served UNDERCOOKED. The chef manager is also another rude somebody, as he provided no resolution for our dinner, but rather put his hands in his pockets, hung his head, and walked away. We still had to pay for our bloody wings. Establishments like this make it difficult to support Africans in the DMV. Please save your time and money and stick to places you know.

Depending on the night it can turn into a nice club like atmosphere however when they have a crowd the service is terribly poor and unorganized. The food/drinks are over priced and the beef they use for suya is more like the beef they use in Chinese beef and broccoli. While I enjoy the atmosphere, the food not so much. The suya wasn’t good quality for $20 and the pepper sauce looked like chile verde

I won the Chimaeats Instagram contest and received a $100 gift certificate to try this restaurant. After several attempts to visit, I finally made it on New Year's Eve. I made a reservation, as I expected the restaurant to be busy due to the holiday, but to my surprise, it wasn't crowded at all. We were seated immediately. We began with drinks and appetizers, ordering the beef sliders. I had expected the sliders to be on bread, but instead, they were thinly sliced strips of beef with raw red onions on top, accompanied by a side of seasoning. The beef itself was flavorful, though the dish wasn’t what I had anticipated based on the menu description. It was spicy, but manageable. We also ordered the shrimp spring rolls, only to be told after placing our order that they were unavailable and could only be made with chicken. This was disappointing. The chicken sliders were delicious, but our service was incredibly slow—despite the restaurant being nearly empty. Even our drinks took much longer than expected. For the main course, I ordered the seafood okra soup with pounded yam, as suggested by my waiter. The soup contained baby shrimp, two crab claws, and a large piece of fish, which was filled with large bones. I’m not a fan of fish with bones, especially in a soup, but that wasn’t my main issue. The soup was so overwhelmingly spicy that I couldn’t enjoy it. I appreciate spicy food when it has flavor, but this dish lacked depth and was just pure heat. I spent a long time removing the bones, only to be unable to finish the soup due to the excessive spice. I ended up taking it to go, but ultimately had to discard it the next day. My husband ordered the lamb chops with jollof rice and plantains. He said the dish was good overall, though one of the lamb chops was raw in the middle. He didn’t want to make a fuss, so we didn’t address it with the staff, but it was still concerning. Overall, my experience was disappointing, especially given the high cost of the meal and the 40-minute drive I made to visit. The service was lacking, as we were not offered water, and I had to ask for a bag to take my leftovers. A manager did offer a bag when she saw the containers sitting on our table, which was appreciated, but the service overall felt disorganized. There was also a mix-up with the $100 gift card, but the manager resolved it without issue. Ultimately, I don’t think I’ll return. The food and service didn’t justify the price, and the experience fell short of what I had seen on their Instagram. I had hoped for a better experience, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations.

Came here on a random Sunday night and was promptly seated. The lounge was a little under half full. We decided to share the sampler (shrimp, chicken, beef, salmon bites) and goat stew. Unfortunately the wait was about 30 mins and only the goat stew arrived. Within about 10 minutes after alerting the server, the sampler arrived. On a brighter note, food was delicious. Very flavorful. But if you like Nigerian food for the spiciness, be sure to ask them to put some pepper sauce in your dish. On the way out we realized the sign said rooftop so we went back to take a look and the hostess (maybe manager?) was enthusiastic about giving us a tour. There are 2 extra rooms upstairs including a rooftop! Size misleading from the outside for sure. Great space for private dinners on lower level too. I'm hopeful food would arrive more promptly next time so I'd totally be back.

I thought I'd come back and give them a try after seeing them mention they were under new management and a new happy hour concept. This special was advertised as pay the hour price which means if it's within the 4:00 hour you pay $4 for a drink for certain bites, 5:00 hour you pay $5 for certain drinks or bites, etc. It started at 4:00 so I made plans with friends to meet them there at 4:00. I believe again my money's worth so I arrived at 4:15. I approached the door I entered before but when I tried to open the handle it was locked. I was a little confused and double checked my watch which displayed it was after 4:00, almost 4:30. I noticed there were cars in the parking lot with people sitting in them so I decided to walk around to the other side because I remember they said they also renovated somewhat. That door however was locked and there was signage on it stating to go to the door I had just left. I noticed someone sitting at the bar as I walked back past and lightly tap on the glass and they told me to go to the door I originally tried which was locked. I went back to that door and again it was locked so I knocked but no one came. I started to wonder if the gentleman who was sitting at the bar was directing me to go up the stairs to the door around the corner so I attempted to. However, there wasn't a door around there so I decided to go up the next set of steps to which I found seating and tables halfway covered which gave me the impression this area had not been used today or in a while. I proceeded around the corner to another area that had high tops but that door was locked as well. As I was coming back down, I decided to call my friend and informed them that the doors were locked. As I got to the bottom of the steps I noticed someone had put a sign on the door I had tried originally stating they didn't open until 5:30. I laughed because how are they going to put a sign up on the door sitting they don't open until 5:30 after they just told me to try the door. It would have been nice if they would have just opened it and explained that to me. Also how do you advertise having a happy hour that starts at 4:00 and not open until 5:30? We left and went somewhere else down the street. We decided as we were walking back to our cars that we would try again. So we decided to go in and sit down. My friend had already had a few drinks so decided upon only water. I wanted to try their drinks and food so I ordered a margarita and the jerk wings. I noticed the bartender from before who has always been extremely helpful and nice was there again. I thought I had ordered my drink one way but she quickly came back and told me I had stated something else and without a breath offered to make it the way I believe I had ordered originally. How awesome was that!? She brung the new drink to me and it was perfect! I then asked her when the wings would be ready and she stated they had a large party so it should be out shortly. When the wings came out I noticed they looked odd but decided I would try them first. They were very dry and instantly got stuck in my teeth. I asked for a takeout container and when she brought it over to me, she asked me how my food was. I explained to her I wasn't the biggest fan of it and that it was really dry. She informed me that they most likely cooked it in the oven first then reheated them. Well that would explain why there's absolutely no moisture in those wings at all. She did remove it from my bill and I was gracious for that because I had told her I was just going to give it to a homeless person as I rode through the city and she told me I still could. Well, that was my third time trying this place and I can say with confidence that I will not be back. Hopefully they get things together and improve tremendously. It was not busy at all the time that we were there for happy hour and I assume at night is when their largest crowd comes.

Beautiful space. Unsettling experience. (this happened in June and I finally feel ready to share my experience) I visited on my birthday for a solo afternoon celebration (my birthday was on a Monday). The hostess was kind and accommodating, and I was impressed with the ambiance enough that I was initially planning to leave a glowing review. They even let me take pictures in the upstairs lounge, which I appreciated. However, my experience with the waiter who I won't even name atp, left me feeling deeply uncomfortable. He moved me from my original seat to the bar under pressure, brought me multiple shots of Rémy and topped off my champagne glass repeatedly, without ever disclosing the brand or price. I assumed, as many would, that all this was a birthday gesture "on the house." It wasn't... When the bill came, I was charged nearly $40 for the champagne. When I voiced concern, the waiter tried to hand me a partial refund in cash in front of the manager, who then claimed he couldn't process a refund to my credit card. It was confusing and humiliating, especially as I'd never requested most of the add-ons I was charged for. I ended up speaking with the hostess privately, who was shocked by what I shared and said she'd handle it and I left feeling distressed and shaken up. The bill was voided completely, because I never saw the charge, and I appreciate that however I am leaving this review because no woman celebrating alone should feel uncomfortable, pressured, or blindsided, especially on her birthday. This place has potential, but the line between hospitality and manipulation was crossed.

I've only been here on Fridays but the vibe is always right. I appreciate when the DJ mixes things up a little bit instead of committing to afrobeats/ampiano all night but since that's the clientele - I get it. Drinks are always good, service could be a little better. My friend has a great relationship with the bartenders but that seems to hinder more than help because we tend to have to wait longer for our drinks. Haven't tried the food yet but it always smells amazing when they bring it out. The hookah is on point as well If you want a consistent good vibe, this is a great neighborhood gem

My family and I visited Skyvibe for a Sunday brunch and had a pretty good experience, despite a few bumps. After we placed our drink order, the waitress came back to say they were out of Sprite, and somebody was running to a nearby store. We also had an order of hot chocolate (which is on the menu) and were told it was being prepared but may be a little wait. It ended up taking about 30 minutes for the sprite to be brought to the table, and we were told they couldn't find any hot chocolate at the store, so it was no longer an option. We were the first table to arrive, so it was a bit strange that at opening, the restaurant wasn't stocked with items that were options on the menu. We ordered the plantain appetizer for the table, and enjoyed the sweet plantain with the sauce (tasted like a sweet chili sauce). For the entrée, a few people ordered the salmon which the menu said came with jollof rice. That was where we were again, confused. The rice was clearly not jollof, but fried rice (which honestly seemed like the frozen fried rice you can get at any supermarket). When we asked about it, one of the staff said it's "jollof fried rice". I asked what makes it jollof and he said "the person who cooked it". Ok... I ordered the shrimp and grits and did enjoy that. They offer bottomless mimosas and bottomless lemon drops, and everyone did enjoy those. The DJ was also great! We enjoyed the mix he played, which added to the experience. I think I would visit again because overall, it was a good experience. I just really don't like when menu items don't match the description. I order based on the details provided on the menu, so it's disappointing when what's presented is not that.

I came on "Rum Punch Sunday"! The drinks were strong and the jerk chicken was on point. Served hot baby...... the temperature and the right about of spice. I went to the rooftop and it's a whole vibe up there. A live DJ, music was on point, bar, lounge and you can even order hookah. You can vibe out and chill, dance or just have a great time with your girls. The service was good too. I will definitely be back to try brunch!

So this was a pleasant surprise. I went on a girls date with my friend on a Saturday evening. My daughter joined us as well. Every single thing I ate had amazing flavor. Though I will say it was a tad bit heavy on the salt which we did mention to one of the managers. I have been finding an opportunity to go back since! They have a rooftop that I also want to experience. Our server was sweet! Definitely would go back!!!

The service is really what spoiled my first visit to this establishment. I was super excited about going because I had seen such great posts on social media. Upon arrival we were not greeted by a hostess, we actually waited over five minutes for the host to arrive at their post, they then confirmed I had a reservation and gave my party of two the option of a table or the bar. We opted for the bar. Upon sitting at the bar we were not greeted or offered any water. We sat there for over ten minutes watching the employees make drinks for others (who were seated before and after us) before I asked, "who is our server" to the nearest employee behind the bar. They responded with, "it's supposed to be two of us, but let me get you some water". From there service was provided. We decided until brunch service was over to get access to the regular menu. We ordered wings and fries; which were fresh and seasoned well. The music was good and the vibe was cool. I'm willing to give this establishment another try. Maybe I will try a less busy day to see what type of service I'm provided.

It definitely was a vibe at Skyvibe! I had an enjoyable time with some friends at the bar area last night. The place has a very dark aesthetic, the music wasn't overwhelmingly loud, and as it got later, there was live music from a violinist. We first ordered drinks, and the bartender was so kind to bring me a free additional cocktail! I'm not sure what the second drink was but it tasted better than the banana island cocktail I first ordered. I will admit, the drinks are a tad pricey, especially for Laurel, MD, so it was nice to get a free drink. We eventually ordered some food and got a side of jollof and the salmon bites, which came with a really tasty dip. I really loved the salmon bites and they made a great bar snack. It's great to have a bar/lounge with DC vibes in suburban Maryland. Saves time for having to drive all the way down to the city.

Where do I begin! We were excited to feel the vibes at skyvibe lounge and experience some karaoke however we showed up on game night lmbo.... However the night was amazing! When you walk in you can feel the luxury, the decor, paintings and overall aesthetic is simply beautiful. We were seated immediately as it wasn't too busy on a Wednesday night at around 7:30 ish. Our server was so nice as she had her work cut out for her. I was with a party of 9-10 to celebrate a birthday. And our waitress was the sweetest, took her time , made sure to get everyone's meal correct, and was a pleasure. She explained the meals perfectly to the non- Nigerians in the bunch and gets a A+ from me for pronouncing the names of some items on the menu. She even was invited into our pic and willingly obliged. Nandi absolutely passed the vibe check. If you visit ask for Nandi!!!!! Yes, I say wholeheartedly this place has the most authentic Nigerian food I've had at a restaurant. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal. I got ewedu & gbegiri w/ amala and that food was the best and most amazing I've had in this continent my goodness a 10 out of 10. The food was so good my sister wanted to meet the chef but unfortunately she had gone for the day. Many blessings to the establishment. Laurel needs a place like this and I will definitely be back for karaoke on the right night. We ain't get the karaoke but we definitely got the vibes .

Forced gratuity is killing the service business, Foood is over priced for the level or preparation required and quality of the meal . Servers from front desk to bar was below. average There's really know ambiance . If you're not a well know african the pretty much treat you like shit

Met a friend here on a Tuesday evening. Free street parking, Infront and on the side of the building around 7pm. At the very end of the block Barcode scan menu. Prices on their actual website differed (much cheaper) than the barcode I only had 1 drink. It was okay. Bartender seemed to be one of those "professional" bartendars. He was the only one working until maybe 9pm, so he was hustling making sure everyone was being taken care of Bathrooms were nice. Although 1 stall did not have toilet paper whatsoever, but the lid was up like it had been previously cleaned (but not restocked) A lady was there for Karaoke if anyone wanted to sing by 9pm! There is Hookah and an Outside patio area

I came around 530pm for ladies night on a Wednesday currently they are giving 1 free lemon drop to each lady who comes in. Your choice of flavor from strawberry, mango, passion fruit, watermelon and white peach of course the regular lemon as well. I tried the passion fruit , watermelon and the white peach and wow that white peach has won for me. Ask for Alex he makes great drinks and is an amazing waiter and bartender ! The resturant is beautiful and has ample parking so you won't have to stress about parking when coming here. We had the jollof rice which I personally was nervous about but it is definitely not he best jollof rice I have had from any resturant in the DMV and I have tried at a minimum 10 different places. I'm Nigerian and My sister is a chef and even she raved about how good the rice was. We also got the spring rolls you have the option of beef , shrimp or chicken. You truly will not regret it. They are not your average spring rolls they are massive ! It comes with 2 split in 4 but I promise it is extremely filling. Between the jollof and the spring rolls we were unable to eat our main course. The spring rolls are PACKED they did not skimp on these and they taste even better. It comes with a sauce that is truly not needed because the chicken is seasoned very well and everything else inside the roll adds to it 12/10 for me. The resturant was clean and quiet in the first half of our meal and started to fill up as we sat and ate. All food is made to order so it will be coming out pipping hot for you. Great for a date night , night out with friends, happy hour, solo date, work from home etc. They do offer a variety of drinks as well as hookah for $43 which isn't a bad price for the area. In the summer they do open up their rooftop and I can't wait to come on back.

I enjoyed my Sunday Brunch with friends. The waiter was new, but attentive. Food was delicious, drinks were good, music nice mix and the overall vibes and ambiance were . This is my 3rd time there and will definitely be returning!

I've been here before and think the food is great! Today (Sunday) early evening, the service was nonexistent. Decided to go to the "rooftop" and the server went by several times without acknowledging us whatsoever. We waited another 5 minutes and walked out. May or may not return.

Skyvybe Lounge exceeded my expectations! The service was prompt and the ambiance is absolutely stunning--perfect for a laid-back yet elevated experience. I ordered the wings, which were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the green tea shot was smooth, strong and refreshing. The overall vibe of the lounge made it a great spot to unwind and enjoy delicious food and drinks. BONUS: every Wednesday is ladies night Highly recommend!

Saturday afternoon, I popped into the restaurant to meet up with a girlfriend. We were warmly greeted by the manager, Yaya. We were seated immediately on the main level. It's definitely an international /African vibe. With modern and upscale decor. Our waiter was super nice. We ordered a martini which was great! For entree, I ordered the Skywings in Buffalo flavor. What I loved is that they were able to do all flats and bake my wings hard. For my entree, I ordered the lamb chops which were delicious. For my sides , I had the jollof rice and plantains. I took off a star because it took a while for food to come out. Not just my table, but others . So, much I watched a couple leave. Yaya gave us a great tour of the skylounge! We learned it doesn't open until after 5pm. I definitely plan on checking it out on a busy night like a Thursday , Friday, or Saturday. Street Parking is available on the right of the building or right on Main Street.

Unfortunately, the experience at skyvibe was not what I hoped for. I had heard good things about the spot from a friend of mine who had been a couple of times. We arrived around the 9:30pm on a Friday evening. The main floor (bar area) had a decent size crowd, plenty of tables and bar seats available. After we got seated we were told that they were only serving food from their "late night" menu, which consisted of a variety of small bites and sides. I get that happens after a certain hour, but they were out of at least 3 of their main items available from that menu. We ended up going with the wings and side of jollof rice. When the wings finally came out they were not fresh at all. Hard and cold. When we notified our waitress she said, this unfortunately happens all the time. The manager came over immediately and rectified the situation by bringing us a fresh batch of wings, which were good. The jollof rice was also on point. Overall, not a great experience. In their defense they did have a huge party earlier that day, so I'm guessing that played a part in our not so great experience.

This place is extremely well decorated and located right off Main Street on a cute walkable street. When we arrived around 5:30 we were the only guests but soon others started filling in. I had to ask if there was happy hour and was told it's $1 off basic liquors. I would have e preferred a menu to see this for myself but also no direction or clarity was provided if happy hour included any food menu items and whether their cocktails were a part of it. They seem to do a shared waiter model where various waiters help one another so you aren't waiting on one singular person for help. I prefer this method. Our waiters were attentive. My lamb chop dinner was good, however the lamb could have been seasoned more. Also the menus here are paper which can again and get dirty very easily. No prices were on the drink menu which for me I prefer transparency. For two people, with one meal each and 3 drinks total our bill was $150.

Absolutely great jerk wings! So glad that they've added some great happy hour deals beginning at 4pm. Our bartender VICTORIA was absolutely FABULOUS and so was our server ABBY! Although Skyvibe was good before, the NEW and IMPROVED Happy Hour deals wrap around lounge deck creates a new level vibe!

There was no one at the door to greet us. We kind of wandered around til we figured out where to go. Once we seated, we waited for a while unsure of what to do it wasn't until we went up to to bartender to ask for a menu that she mentioned she will be coming to our table soon. The bartender was very sweet tho. Do not order the peppered snail. They sent 5 snails in stew for $35. Nothing on the side. I'm sure snails are expensive but at least adding rice or plantains is not asking for too much. Otherwise, nice drinks, peaceful location.

Ambiance is good, I went on a Saturday night so it was pretty loud and vibrant, full of good vibes, but I would definitely recommend eating before you go. I ordered two portions of suya and one portion of wings to go, it took 45 mins to get my food, and they even forgot one of the portions of suya, now onto the taste and quality of the food, the suya was chewy and tough, and the bowl was stuffed with more onions and cucumbers than any actual suya, the wings were not fresh at all, and they were over cooked to the point where they were dry and hard, also I could see they didn't clean the chicken well, as there was still hair on some of the wings. Then the server I had didn't seem to have much knowledge of the menu, she wasn't sure whether or not they had any spring rolls and she didn't even know what a shawarma was, even though it's on the menu.

I really want to like this place but eh, third time was probably not a charm. Beautiful establishment but OVERLY priced with an underwhelming menu. Nothing I got on the menu was appealing. Communication is non existent. My friends and I bought tickets for a sip n paint that was originally set for a Friday but then changed to a Wednesday. I reached out to both the business SKyVibe and the event planner; we got no response from neither business and no refund issued. Very unprofessional and it's unfortunate because Sky Vibe is so close but cannot be my neighbor hangout spot.

Ambiance: Very nice. The restaurant was beautiful. We arrived at 8PM. Around 9 the restaurant went pitch black and the only lighting came from a strobe lights. We could barely see our food. Rating: Service: Ehhh ok. We arrived on time for a reservation and was asked to wait. The restaurant was maybe 15% full. It was like they were not expecting us. They eventually sat us in the bar area. Our waitress was also the bartender. We had to ask for things twice. Rating: Price: Astronomical. See screenshot. Too many fees involved. The service fee was apart of the cart. Then gratuity added after the subtotal. Because the service fee was added to the cart it made the gratuity more. The service was below average for all those fees. Rating: Drinks: We all the love potion. Not nasty but not good. Waaaaaaay too sweet. We were asking for ice to water it down. Rating: 1/2 Food: The lamb chops were cooked perfectly. The veggies were blanched. I would've preferred them steamed. They still had a crunch to it. But good flavoring Rice wasn't too bad but I've def had better. This was spice and smoke. No real flavor. Lamb chops: Veggie: Rice: 1/2 Parking: Street parking. Got to area around 6 so it was fairly easy. Later I could see parking being hard and needing to Uber. Would I visit again..... HELL NO!!!

It's good optics. But the rooftop is a size of a damn elevator. Overpriced food, that doesn't reflect the flavor. Drinks cost $20+ per. Just not a vibe. I'm down for luxury but provide upscale services and better food quality.

Horrible wait times, no music outside, mediocre food, half the staff was rude asl, pricey menu items, bland mixed drinks....Wouldn't recommend this place at all.

Let's just start but saying I really love to support black businesses. The ambiance and staff were very nice, but the food was trash. It took forever to come out and when it did... I ordered wings and chicken bites. The wings were furry, dry and overcooked. The chicken bites were undercooked so now I'm sick as a dog. I will never ever eat there but it's a great place for drinks.

We were there today for brunch, we all ordered waffles. The syrup was cold from the refrigerator, and the butter was cold and we were told that they don't offer soft butter or warm syrup. The server was great but when we asked for takeaway trays we were told that he couldn't find them and offered plastic plates and aluminum foil instead. The alcoholic bottomless drinks were warm, I don't drink alcohol but my family were complaining about them. I will never go back. But I will say that the upstairs with the DJ was great, they had hookah, but they need bathrooms up there because there are a lot of stairs.

Let me tell you!!!! This is about to be my new regular spot!! Ambiance was great, and the servers were all very kind. I can't remember any names unfortunately but everyone was great. My friend ordered the lamb chops with jollof and fried plantains, she said the lamb chops were a little salty, however paired with the jollof and plantains, it was good. I had the salmon with moin-moin and plantains and it was wonderful!! The moin moin was absolutely wonderful and I have been craving it ever since. We also were on the top level so we had hookah, and it was so good!!! Great vibes!!!

My best friend was married on 3/25/25 and our group went to Skyvibe after the ceremony for a celebratory feast. The ambiance was spectacular and the hospitality was amazing! They even let us utilize the roof area for the throwing of the bouquet. This being my first time at the location and also eating African Cuisine, I was very impressed! We ordered a large variety of items and shared so we could try all the flavors! It was all delicious! I left very full and with such a wonderful experience with good friends!!!

I had been seeing different Instagram ads about the restaurant decided to give it a chance. It's in a nice location in laurel, easy to find parking. The ambiance was great. Fantastic decor and all. It even has a small rooftop that you can chill at. The food was also good. Only issue is that they were out of a lot of things. For a new place, you should have everything on the menu.

This restaurant and bar is really just for aesthetics. The food and drinks are terrible and way too pricey for the portions. Service is terrible imagining waiting over 45 mins for a drink. They need to do better.

We visited this business last week and everything went well. Not sure if they hired some new waitresses this past week but the service not so great. Slow service was not the worst but their attitudes sucked. They pretty much forced us downstairs because they claimed it took $500 to sit upstairs. We understood and went down but it was just the way they were carrying on about it. The waitresses at this business might be the downfall. Nice location has alot of seating options but poor service upstairs. The waitress working outside did a great job. Unfortunately upstairs they were terrible. Oh the food and drinks were a bit pricy. Be prepared to spend.

It was a great experience, and it definitely lives up to its name with the ambiance. Our server, Victoria, was amazing; not only was she our server, but she also acted as the bartender. Food was delicious as well from the wings to the salmon bites.

Had an amazing dinner and amazing service a the lounge great music by the DJ I am cuban and those afro rhythms made me feel very welcomed !! The ambience was welcoming to everyone !! If you never gone go you will be surprised on the incredible staff and a night out dancing and drinking !!

Food was terrible, server tried to do a good job but restaurant is poorly managed overall. Simple house margarita wasn't good and the $20 cocktails weren't either. They didn't have several basic items on the menu. It was a complete disaster.

The absolute WORST experience with a restaurant I think I ever had in my life. If I could have given 0 stars I would have. Hostess greeted us as soon as we walked in after that NOTHING. We were seated so close to another couple I felt like we were at the table with them, I could hear their entire conversation, even though it was about 10 empty tables. We sat there for at least 20 minutes with several waitresses walking pass us trying not to look at us, not one person greeted us or even acknowledged we were there. I then got up since no one came to us & was taking a picture. Sat back down another 15-20 minutes went by still nothing. The hostess is arm lengths distance from my table helping a waitress with putting table clothes on tables. I'm being nice with the wait times because it felt longer. Me and my guest got up & left. As we were walking out the door an employee was outside on her cellphone & she overheard me saying I've never had service this bad .. she stopped her phone call & said what happened we caught glance & she went inside. I read the reviews before & against my better judgement I still tried this place. Their instagram pulled me in. These ppl are very unprofessional and rude. Everybody walking around with their mug twisted! Customer service there's NONE. I would never try this place again. After we left about 15-20 mins later I received a text stating "Your table is ready", "MY TABLE BEEN READY, THE STAFF WASN'T READY!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!

I wish I read the reviews before hand. DO NOT TRUST THE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS! From the posts I saw, I drove 45 minutes for a vibe that wasn't there at all! We had a 2pm BRUNCH reservation. We were seated promptly, however the waitress... slow. Keep in mind, there were only 3 other parties (small) there. When the waitress finally came over, she introduced herself and said she'll be back with water and I also ended up ordering a pineapple mimosas for $12.95 which was mostly pineapple juice and hint of "champagne". Five minutes later she returned with the water and left. Another 5 minutes she returned with the "mimosa". Fifteen minutes later she came back to take the order. They didn't have what they offered on the menu. How are you out of items already at 2pm for Brunch when you didn't open til 12pm and the restaurant was damn near empty!! Nonetheless, we ordered the burrito. Unfortunately, at this point I'm angry and wanted to leave. The menu for brunch was not appetizing at all to begin with. We should've left when we couldn't order what we wanted because they were out of everything when we placed our drink order. Needless to say we got the food to go. I'm still in shock that 1 "mimosa" and 2 burritos cost $66.00! The food was packed on a huge bag. But baby.... for that price... you don't get a side at all... I mean damn... they could have thrown in some plantains or something... they gave no sauce... like damn, we would have been better off going to Chipotle. Highly disappointed. First time experience was a bust. Not excited to even think about returning. My suggestion... stick to the dinner menu as that looks, sounds and offer a better variety. Brunch is a HELL NO.

They jave quite a lot of growing to do. I'll be back because I have faith but my experience from hello to good bye was a, "NO" boo!

I went to sky vibes for brunch needless to say I won't be back. The service was horrible and all they have to say about everything is "work with us we're trying this out". Substituting fries for breakfast potatoes is crazy. How does food made to order come out cold. If you can't meet the basic brunch requirements stick to lunch and dinner. Thanks!

I'd heard a lot of great things about this place and was looking forward to going. The restaurant and lounge are very well laid out the decorum looks great, reminicent of an upscale lounge in a major city. The food was just okay and $18.00 for a glass of house wine is robbery! I might go back, maybe not.

Had a great time for brunch. Those lamb chops were cooked to perfection. The eggs weren't so great. The vibe, ambiance and service was wonderful. I will definitely be back.

Great new spot in Laurel Main St. Just opening but you can tell they are working hard to be accommodating. Nice space with outside patio. DJ works with the crowd. Fun times. I will return...looking forward to the grand opening July 1st.

I Visited this restaurant last night for soft opening. I was excited because the Laurel residents could use this Venue in the local area in lieu of traveling to DC, Columbia... I met up with a group of Ladies. About ten of us. The ambiance was upscale. Our waitress Angie was outstanding! Even though it's all new, she was determined to inquire and serve. Prices are $$$ and small portion sizes. 5 wings for $15. They are working out the hiccups that come along with opening. I didn't experience the rooftop & DJ. One area of improvement is the happy hour. In order to receive the happy hour drink, one has to sit at the bar. The happy hour does not apply if you are eating in the dining area. Most establishments set happy hour - hours during dining. When the time ends, happy hour is over. It was very confusing. Once the hiccups are streamlined, I believe this will be a good experience/option for Laurel residents and I'm sure my rating will increase to at least a 4 star.

Terrible service! It's sad to see such elegant place with such horrible service. The food is very good. The drinks are extremely expensive. They add that illegal 18.% mandatory on your bill. They didn't learn anything from Swahili Village and the trouble they got with the feds for doing this.

Omg this place is so good. One of the best Nigerian food I've had in the area. I had Abuja chicken, jollof and plantain. The sauce that came with it was Devine. The ambiance was nice. The staff was friendly. I like the class and diversity coming to main st.

Victoria our waitress was attentive and amazing. The Love Potion drink was delish and the Buffalo wings were tasty, very spicy. Roof top was a chill vibe, no music due to a neighbor complaint -- but it was relaxing.

The food and ambiance were perfect for lounge! The service could use a bit more work (rate it 8/10) but overall, the experience is great!
