The drinks were great and ambiance was very chill. Music was blah but I mean after a few drinks you tend to vibe to anything. The service was good, only had to call the waitress over once because the rest of the time she would check in on us. The food for happy hour was fine, nothing extraordinary but edible nonetheless. Hookah was decent too but keep in mind you have to pay separately for that and it is only cash. My lack of stars for this review goes to the fact that we ordered the kebab trio to go and when I got home excited to try it, I noticed it all the components were not cooked. I called the restaurant back right away and I should be getting a refund but it was my first time trying food so it did suck to have to experience this. I will definitely give it another try though!

We went for apps and drinks. They had a enticing happy hour. The guacamole came out and looked a little old. There was no flavor. Parking lot is huge but could also be tricky getting in and out. The drinks were good. The music killed our vibe. The hookah was also on the happy hour special but was a little weak. Our waitress took about 10-15 mins before she approached us. She included a tip for just 2 people as well. She was not very attentive. The only highlight of the night was the gentleman dancing and singing with his guitar. The main dancing area open on the weekends they will make you buy a bottle if you want a table. I don't know if I'll be back or not. At least not during the week. We also had a Yelp coupon that they refused maybe it was because we had happy hour specials but the waitress couldn't explain as to why.

We stopped in for lunch yesterday, Friday. The music was very loud for about 1pm in the afternoon. We shared the Picada. Rather large portion, it was good. We couldn't finish it and took leftovers to go. Our waitress was very nice and somewhat attentive. I had water and husband had a martini. The bill was about $75, I thought a bit pricey. Pls be aware that tip is automatically added. Not sure that we would return. But looks like it would be a fun nightclub!

I came here on a Friday night around 7:30pm. There were a good amount of people inside and the space is really big. The music was BLASTING, which was a mix of hip hop, r&b (old and new) and reggaeton (or Latin trap). I enjoyed the vibes inside. We were seated immediately and the hostess and our waitress were extremely friendly and welcoming. I ordered a mango margarita, which was reallyyy good. For food, I had the blackened salmon pasta. It came with a really yummy garlic bread, which was soft, and veryyy garlicky. The pasta was a little overcooked and too soft for my liking. The salmon was also overcooked and a little dry inside, but still well seasoned. The dish overall was tasty, and I'd order it again, I'd just request al dente pasta and salmon over medium.

Very dirty establishment with dirty bathrooms and no soap. Drinks were subpar and the service was terrible. The music also was not of a good variety.Stay away!

Booked a section for NYE/friends bday the day before, called the day of to confirm (afternoon hours). Was told the table for 2 bottles and 4 ppl were at the top of the stairs, not really in the VIP section but a section. That wasnt enticing so I decided to up the ppl and bottles (6 ppl, 3 or more bottles), was told we would now be in VIP-bigger section, ok np. Got to the spot and we are seated at the ORIGINAL small table, at the top of the stairs, NOT IN VIP, smack-dead on the dance floor. I went to grab the table hostess and after giving me 30 seconds of her time....she's now telling me that there's no other tables available and we can't be moved. GIRL HOW?! I confirmed the table since this afternoon... They had us facing the exit and we would rather be facing the party. There was an EMPTY, identical section right behind us (facing the party), we asked her if we can swap sections and even that was an issue. So here we are getting our table bumped around and drinks getting knocked over on the dancefloor. At the end of the night, the customer service sucks AND THE UNDERTONE OF RACISM IN NJ IS PRESENT...they clearly showed that they didn't care as long as the money cleared.

Service was okay. Nachos sucked. We went in a small group for happy hour and weren't very impressed.

I got a VIP package for my husband birthday. We got there at 9:45 right before the lounge hours started. Were siting in our section and like 20 minutes later they. come with the birthday sign and lights and the birthday boy was not even there yet. I told the waitress and she said well we have to bring the bottles out soon. Then for almost the whole night the staff and some of the guest used our VIP section as a walk way literally. Everyone was cutting across and once i got visually upset and started to ask the staff to walk around some of them listened most did not. I am not a conflictive person and I hope someone from the bar can read this and make positive changes.

I was there a week ago on a Wednesday and Natasha was my bartender and I must say shes very sweet & outgoing. I will be returning because this place is such a good vibe and she made it awesome!!!

This place is racist af. The owner allowed these disrespectful men to come invade a section my friends paid for. And allowed them to remain after anti black comments were made.

Service was amazingly good at this lounge even tho it was a lot going on. If you wanna party and have a great meal this is the place to be...

Been coming here since they first opened and a lot has changed. Definitely changed from lounge to full on club. It's always packed and the music is usually okay. The food is not consistently good but once the drinks start flowing everything taste amazing! The service is great when you come to eat but once the party is going don't even think about service.
