    Dope vibes, great music. Enjoyed the hookah, danced all night and Bashar was great and really took care of us all night. Gotta go.

    We can't do hookah everyday. But it we could, we'd probably come here. The vibe are just nice and relaxed. The staff is very friendly and not at all pushy. They free flow with recommendations and generally seem like they enjoy their jobs and their coworkers. Once the pipes are on the table, sit back in comfortable chairs and enjoy a variety of music. Seriously the dj's that work this place are A1! Time will just disappear on you once inside. And there is plenty of space to get up and dance when the music moves you. What I love the most - the place is clean. They don't allow the dim lightening to cover up nastiness that I've seen at other places. You will not freak out at the sight of the bathrooms. Early or late night this place is always worth the trip.

    My favorite spot!!! Best hookah, nicest service and great food!! I always come here for a fun night it's great for meeting new people or just enjoying a chill night. The owner is the best!! Goes out of his way to make sure you have a good experience and get to know his customers. It's a large space, not crowded like most places and always playing music lots of tvs, just can't say anything bad about this place!!!

That happens to be their Poker night, so it makes complete sense. However, I think the staff, service, food, ambience, and kava are what make this place exceptional. I had been to a couple kava bars but Colton did an outstanding job of explaining the differences between the Kava and Kratom and the effects. He even did a do-over when my guest finally arrived. With such insightful guidance, I went with his recommendation of the double dragon, choosing the green tea and a shot of kava. Colton may have okay taste in English football, amazing taste in Italian football, but his choices in drinks are unparalleled. The drink was delicious, not too sweet, and perfectly balanced. If I'm being honest, this was the first time I actually felt the effects of kava. Outside, of Colton, the vibes are inviting and intimate, but not exclusive. The decor and music create a very relaxing atmosphere, which is conducive to the experience. There's a pool table and game room, a stage area, and a bar, in addition to all the couches and seats around. I didn't have any if the food this time, but they have lovely cakes and pastries, as well a pizzas and bar food. If the food is as well crafted as the rest of the place, I'll definitely be eating here next time. It's a bit of a journey for me, but the experience is well worth it. Will try to see what bands perform there and try to catch one that I like. If you're looking for a place to relax and have a great time, the Chill Room OG location is the one you want.

Also, if you like being bullied into purchasing something every hour or else you will leave promptly! Then, The Chill Room is right for you! All of these kava bars are the same.

The vibe is super cool, cozy seating, great ambience, dim lighting that feels like a hidden gem. I sat on the comfy couch and ordered sushi from OKA, which was honestly better than ever. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The cocktails were delicious too; strong, creative, and exactly what I wanted for a chill night out. I was having a great time, enjoying my meal and drinks, when disaster struck right at the end. I had literally just finished eating when a huge roach crawled right by my feet on the couch area. It was massive and absolutely disgusting. I jumped out of my seat so fast, thankfully I was done with my food, or I probably would've lost it completely. I didn't scream (which is a miracle because I definitely would have at home), but it was such a gross turn-off. I get that this is Lake Worth and Florida has its bugs, but come on, a roach that big in a dining establishment? That's not okay. You really need to step up the pest control. Also, the bathrooms could use some serious help. They're outdated and feel neglected, definitely in need of an update or renovation to match the rest of the cool vibe. Overall, the sushi shines, the drinks are spot-on, and the atmosphere is fun... but that roach ruined the ending for me, and the bathrooms don't help. Fix those things, and this place could be amazing. Hoping it was just a one-off bad night!

Whether…read moreyou're posted up inside at the bar, in the dining room, or outside soaking up the scene, it's always lively, fun, and just the right amount of "see and be seen." (Translation: yes, it's busy--but in a good way.) We ended up going twice because...obviously. Dinner was a win across the board. The brussels sprout Caesar salad? Shockingly good. Like, "why am I craving lettuce and sprouts?" good. And someone in our group ordered the duck and wouldn't stop talking about it--called it "out of this world," which feels dramatic but also...accurate. Now let's talk about lunch. The club sandwich. I wish I were being chill about this, but I'm not. It's like $40, which is mildly offensive until you take one bite and suddenly you're like, "okay fine, take my money." I genuinely haven't stopped thinking about it. Bonus: the crowd is great, and if you're into a little Bravo spotting, this place apparently doubles as a low-key reality TV habitat. Long story short--come for the vibe, stay for the sandwich, and don't be surprised if you accidentally become a regular.

    Absolute Disaster - Do NOT Waste Your Time or Money…read more We had a confirmed reservation for 8:00 PM at what was supposed to be a nice upscale spot. Instead, we walked into a complete circus run by amateurs. The hostess--young, clearly inexperienced, and visibly overwhelmed--had zero control of the situation. She was bouncing around like a deer in headlights, mumbling apologies while doing nothing to actually fix the chaos. Multiple parties were standing around fuming because their reservation times came and went with no tables ready. Ours included. They told us to "wait at the bar." Great idea--except the bar was so packed you literally couldn't get within ten feet of it. No room to stand, no chance to order a drink, no staff paying attention. We stood there like idiots for nearly an hour while the restaurant somehow managed to be both overbooked and disorganized at the same time. Turns out they had some kind of event going on simultaneously in the main dining area, which explained why regular reservations were being treated like an afterthought. If you're going to double-book your space and turn it into a private-party nightmare, at least have the decency to warn people when they make a reservation--or better yet, don't take reservations at all if you can't honor them. After almost an hour of standing in a sardine-can crowd, listening to everyone else complain, watching staff shrug helplessly, and realizing we weren't getting any closer to actually eating, we finally gave up and left. We walked to another restaurant nearby, were seated immediately, and had a perfectly pleasant dinner. This place is a textbook example of how to ruin what should be a nice evening out. Incompetent front-of-house management, blatant overbooking, zero communication, and a complete disregard for customers who actually made reservations in advance. If you value your time, your money, and your blood pressure, steer clear. I will never set foot in this establishment again, and I'm warning everyone I know to do the same. Zero stars if I could give it. Avoid at all costs.

So we went into the market through which on the left there is a room with tables and chairs for the restaurant to dine in. We had a lovely conversation with a gentleman who was just finishing his lunch. He told us he comes here everyday. After describing his favorite meal choice, that's what we decided to order. We ordered first a medium pot of chai/tea. The owner, Assad (sp?), told us later when we asked that they add mint, dried mint, and sage to the pot. The tea was so aromatic and warming. We each had several glass cups -- with added sugar. To share, we had their mixed grill. There were 3 skewers -- one chicken, one beef, and one kofta kebab (ground meat). The meats were served over rice with a bit of salad on the side. Small containers of salad dressing and tehina were on the plate, too. I added some sumac (my favorite lemony spice) to everything. The food was very good and we left not a crumb. We were surprised to learn that the gentleman we'd previously chatted with paid for our dessert before he left! We got kunefah (kenefe/knaffe) -- my husband's favorite. It was nice and cheesy in the middle. And then as we were leaving, the owner gifted us a traditional special Ramadan "sweet" pastry. We were too full to try it there, so we brought it home for later. He said it has walnuts inside. We look forward to returning here for more middle eastern delights. It's casual, low key, cooked to order, and welcoming.
