Where do I begin? Before walking into the restaurant, I was greeted by a handsome security officer, who was very nice and didnt give me a rough time about entry. He gave me all the information needed before entering. He told me about the live band, and how they were just about to begin. Upon walking into the restaurant I was taken over by the ambience and the sweet sound of the live band. I was referred by the security guard to try the food, he said that the shrimp and grits were to die for. I ordered it, not to long for a wait, and the shrimp n grits were amazing!!!! As I finished up my meal I wanted to grab a drink, after a long week and it being friday, I figured why not? As the young man on the stage sang his heart out, I fell in love with the crowd interacting and singing along word for word with him. Everyone in the place was dressed to impress, cleaner than a whistle. After going to so many places in gwinnett, and Atlanta, I think Ive found home. Good look to my bartender Ms.Anna, and the Security Officer Mr.Ross for treating me with respect and not rushing me in, or out. The quality customer service was exceptional, havent felt that good about a restaurant Im a long time. I will surely return, this weekend and every weekend after as long as my job permits. Lol.

I live in Gwinnett and excited about having a new local lounge to try, plus I heard they have a live band. After work my hubby and I decided to have a nice date and visit the lounge for dinner and drinks. When we arrived it was a little crowded, due to it being a small intimate spot. The security was nice, but as we entered we were not greeted and had to stop a waitress to see how we would be able to get a table. She stated although there were two tables unaccompanied, they had a reserve sign and we would have to find a seat at the bar. Well there are no seats at the bar, and we want to order food and drinks. Waitress said she would be back. After waiting over 30min or so, we notice a group of 4 came in and she told them they could be seated. She said sorry she could not service us because it was only 2. Spoke with manager and he said tables are for only 4 or more quest. This is not good business and we were turned off. You should have tables to accommodate all parties, in addition a waiting list or time limit. Didnt like how it was handled and not sure if we will return

The Only good thing about this place was the doorman. Definitely NOT a restaurant, but a neighborhood Club house. There was nowhere to sit,and when I asked was told I had to buy a bottle in order to sit at a booth to order dinner and that a reservation was needed. We called ahead and was told NO reservation required for dinner. Never have been to a place where you paid for your drinks at the bar before you received them and the bartender has the Audacity to tell Me to Wait a minute so she can help someone that was purchasing a bottle of beer rather help someone who just spent $40 and still waiting for his drinks. That same Bartender who was near the door was Rude and playing with her hair with no customer service skills. I ordered Food and was placed in a section at the bar where the bartender was smoking a hookah pipe. Never again ..should of stayed my ASS at HOME. First time & last time ...A Dissatisfied Customer. Dont waste your time or money

Well,I had a bad experience.I went on a sat,I wanted to order food an it was no place to sat.I notice on the menu everything were over price also it is no where to dance,people dancing anywhere and everywhere.Oh (I definitely cant leave this out)I order a glass of water an the short Hispanic looking girl that work at the first bar wanted to charge me $3 dollars,that was ridiculous.That is a bar not a club,they shouldnt be charging people $10 at the door because it is not worth it.But what I see they are hungry for money so I didnt ask for a reimbursement,I will let them have that,but they will never get another dime from me.Management need to re-evaluate everything.because I feel that it is illegal an unsafe to turn a bar into a club that has no room what so ever.Im surprise that the Gwinnet County hasnt shut it down yet

The host taking up the money was a straight up hater charging me and my partner $20 cause we had on Air Jordans when I specifically called in advance and told him what I was wearing. I had a dress shirt and blazer on with some black blue jeans. We both were with our ladies. Security had actually let my partner in before he was stopped by this mini me hater about his shoes while holding the door for his wife. Smh. Then when we get in there it felt like Hells Kitchen cause the AC wasn t blowing properly. We complained to the kitchen workers but 30 minutes later we left. The place is overrated it is too small! Frank Skee did a good job with the music though and the bartenders were pretty good.

Out for a dirps night on a Friday. We were there pretty early (9:30) and the only seats available were at the back wall. My friend had to stop someone to get service,the drinks were WEAK (we tried 3 different kinds). The jerk shrimp was ok, but the lemon pepper wings were good. We waited forever for our food and when we finally got it we had to ask for utensils. The live band was nice, but when they first started the music was way too loud, you could barely have a conversation without yelling at the top of your lungs. The drinks are overpriced, especially considering theyre not good. I dont know how long theyve been open, but they definitely have some work to do.

I ordered an apple martini and the bartender said she needed to go in the back to see if they had the ingredients. I eventually got a table and ordered an appetizer and a drink. The previous bartender then came over with a glass full of ice and what appeared to be apple martini halfway filled (even with the ice cubes that dont belong in a martini). After explaining to the bartender how to make an apple martini, she said she would correct and brought it back with fewer ice cubes and i guess she added water to make the glass appear to have the normal volume. That set the tone for the night. Decent music, but I will probably not return...

My friend and I were looking for a place to have our ladies night. I give this place one star,due to the drinks,food and price. The drinks were so weak they did not have the ingredients to make a Bob Marley but gives it to us anyway. We ask the waitress for a suggestion on a drink all drink she suggested were just as weak. We paid our high bill and ended up at a local sports bar. I am so disappointed. Please make sure you read be on the 4-3stars. I sure wish I had. They will not get my money nor the people I know. Please correct your problems,Gwinnett needs a place for us old school forks to hang. Best of luck.
