   great place - a little pricey (food + drinks) and the dispensary is top notch in terms of what they carry; a little bit for everyone. Music was really cool and our server new his stuff. My only complaint are the drinks as they are way too expensive and not very good. My brother and I finished everything but the drinks. all in all, 8.7 out of 10. a MUST VISIT

   We came for Mother's Day at 4pm and requested an outside table because the first time we visited (on a Friday night, I realize) it was very loud inside. Fortunately, the vibe was lively inside, but not too loud. We *were* seated outside on a very chill patio on the couches. Loved the vibe. Our server was Haley, who is so fabulous - we love her, be nice to her, other people! Give her all your tips. ;) The drinks (alcohol free) are really VERY good and well-priced, Kushpresso Martini being my favorite (though it's really more of a Carajillo vibe), Dank Diego is also delicious. The Thai-tanic was really fresh and botanical! The chicken tenders are really good and the wedge fries are also really yummy, though I think they could do with a larger sharable portion of regular ol' shoestring fries. Love the beer cheese and the flatbreads were also flavorful (though they needed a touch longer in the oven). The charcuterie board we had on our first visit was a bowl of Ritz and some pizza pepperoni and salami, so that didn't dazzle us, but it was a valiant effort... there were olives! I liked the tiny brie. :) I look forward to trying a burger next time and those ahi waffle things looked amazing. The kitchen and bar were a bit slow that day - it got pretty busy, especially when the music next door kicked up, but we were having a great time, our servers were so lovely and checked in often, so we didn't care. We will definitely be back!

   I took my mom here for Mother’s day, the food was raw and we had to wait 2 hours for a replacement only for it to be raw again. Would def come here just for the rental devices.

   Great experience! We sat outside so the noise level was low. There were no speakers outdoors so if you want the music vibes sit indoors. That may change in the future however! The food was great. I thought the presentation and taste were both on point. Service was great. They kept us hydrated for sure! The ambience was great as well! I loved the lounge feel! Overall great experience!

   I made a reservation for 7pm, I checked in on time and was told to wait about 10min for my table since it wasn’t ready. That was no problem so I waited for 25min before coming up to the hostess again. I asked her for an update and told me that the people who were at our table knew their time was up but they “didn’t want to leave” and that they were already told they went over their time and that she couldn’t do much since she was “just the hostess”. I found that shocking like isn’t there any security or for the server to be like I’m going to have to close you guys out, you guys are well over your time and the next party is here??? We were seated at 7:40pm, and our server did not come up to us until 50min later. When our server finally gets there, we order the waffle nachos with chicken and some drinks. Our nachos finally arrive with no chicken. I paid $40 cover charge (party of 4) since it was after 4:20pm, we waited 40min to get seated with a reservation and didn’t have a server until 50min later after being seated. This place really needs to improve customer service and be more firm on their time limits. I’m disappointed I had big expectations from this place.

   The overall vibe and ambiance of the venue was amazing! My party and I enjoyed having the ability to just enjoy a smoke in a place like this. The service was okay, could have been better. They were great initially but then took a while to follow up with us. We were patient, understanding how busy they were, but I ordered a drink and it took almost 20 minutes to receive it. Then a friend in my party ordered shortly after and it took another 20 minutes or so for him to get a canned beverage. Outside of the service, we had a great time and would like to visit again.

   We all enjoyed ourselves with the live music, wonderful ambience, and tasty food. There was some confusion with our food. It took 1 hour and a half difference from when the first food item came out, to the last food item. Besides it taking almost 2 hours for them to bring out our complete menu, they were very understanding and very catering. Great professional place. And the prices are definitely appreciated.

    What a cool experience! Make sure to check out the bathrooms! I'm looking forward to going back and bringing more friends. If you get cold easily bring a jacket or layers. It was a little louder than I would have liked and the music variety was missing but it's new a new place and probably a different DJ will play next time. Overall loved it!
