    GREAT place for a relaxing evening with friends or a date. Pineapple cake is AWESOME!! Good food and deserts. Hookah was good but they need more shisha flavors and more quality AF Flavors.

    Definitely sit outside if possible, much chiller vibe. Great for dates. It's $20 for a hookah so if you're going to go, definitely go with ppl who also smoke so it's worth the money.

    The music was awesome !! The vibe is great as well ! The only thing I would say they need to be looked at is the dinner menu. The items are great options but the flavor wasn’t executed..I’ll be back!

    This is one of my favorite places to be in Charlotte. Baileys bread pudding is everything and more! Hookahs are great and they have drink specials throughout the week! They have free parking too!

    OMG, Kacey H. Is the greatest server, she treated us like royalty, lol but she did provide outstanding service, the pineapple upside down cake was delicious. Nice atmosphere, I will return!

    Make sure to make a reservation for less of a wait time. The tiramisu martini is to die for, and you can't beat $20 bottomless wine night on Thursdays.

    Blue Mist is a MUST TRY hookah flavor upgrade. Also try the mix-n-match flavors, mint goes so well with so many things...

    I went there the other night. The atmosphere is amazing, but the carpet did not match the drapes. The French Martini not so great. The flatbread smelled, and the creme brulee was the only good thing.

    It's not the best looking thing on the menu but the Baileys Bread Pudding may be one of the tastiest.

    Drinks were okay. Need to work on a friendlier staff and speedier service and consider preparing the most popular desserts daily to avoid running out.

    Seems like they want an exclusive environment. They don't accept same day reservations but they have empty tables everywhere. Revise this rule until clientele base is built & service is improved.

    Slow service. Hostess was rude. Waited 40 mins to place order. Completely Out of most of their desserts. Spinach Dip came with cheap chips and almost no spinach . DD Strawberry Cake was delicious.
