   Didn’t realize the Evanston location wasn’t also a consumption lounge so I was a bit disappointed but I still purchased my products

   Went last night to celebrate my bday with a group of friends. A highly unsatisfying experience since changing ownership. First, the communications infrastructure seems broken between the space and their third-party reservation services. After receiving day-of confirmations for our reservation from the third party, the staff was baffled when we arrived. The entire Wheeling building was rented, which was not communicated when upon booking (weeks beforehand). They gave odd and unprofessional reasons for the reservation being lost. After this, they encouraged us to shop in the Dispensary and said we *could* be seated after purchasing. The sales rep inside the Dispensary was smug, bored, pushy for the sale. We were then told that our table would be ready shortly... only to be left unattended for 45 minutes. It felt like a neglectful effort to expedite our departure. After sitting for this duration, a supervisor finally appeared. They said that we couldn't be hosted after all, made an odd excuse about a call center, and sent us on our way with some free samples. One of the most appalling hospitality experiences (or, lack thereof) I have experienced. I have never felt more unwelcome somewhere, and we will not be returning. The entire operation felt very dishonest and unpleasant. Incredibly unaligned with the brand name.

   I fell in love with this place when I first went. The service was amazing, food was really good, the ambience was so nice. I loved it so much I was going 2-3 times a month. Once okay was bought out service and quality just disappeared. The staff was changed and there is one gentleman in particular who basically told us to shut up in a lounge where you sit smoke and talk. They used to play movies and games or shows on the tv now nothing plays. They used to check on you periodically and offer water and fill your water when empty. Now they have coolers with no cups. And no one was around for us to ask for cups either. The food menu was changed now it's just horrible sandwiches. Everytime I go that same guy is there and is extra rude and just unapproachable. I will no longer go here unfortunately due to the changes. I didn't mind spending so much on the flower because the ambience and staff was amazing. I refuse to spend hundreds for bad service and a cool lounge that was just completely ruined. It sucks and I hope another lounge opens closer to me since I drive 30-45 minutes to go to okay. Just a bummer to lose a place I really loved.
