Remember making bongs out of pineapples when we were kids? Experience the magic of that, but with hookah! Truly innovative and fun, and the taste is so much better than just normal hookah. The ambiance is perfect for either relaxation alone or hanging out with friends. Seating is plentiful, comfortable, and designed to be modular based on party size. We had so much fun talking to other guests, and the staff was exceptional. We never waited for new coals, despite the place being fairly busy on a Saturday night, and our service person took a ton of time explaining the menu to us. Owner was gracious and we really felt welcome not only this time, but for future visits. When we finished, I couldn't believe how inexpensive it ended up being ($100 for three based on the hookahs we chose). The minimum spend is a very reasonable $25 per person, and if you choose to BYOB, it's only $5 per person to consume your alcohol on-premise.

This is probably my first time going to an actual hookah lounge, so be prepared to be smoked!!…read more Blue Hookah house was a nice way to experience this water pipe. There's a unique menu for flavors and tobacco. Our server helped us with the selection between strong, lite, sweet and not so sweet. The fruit head (where you can smoke a pineapple or grapefruit) was something really cool! We got the pineapple for the sweet taste combined with what I believe is lemon and mint. Very smooth and fresh. There's also one that tasted like coffee or a tiramisu (creamy, coffee, smooth), gotta go a bit slower on this one. Along with the tobacco and coals, the flavors definitely come through. I was just really intrigued with the experience overall. It was smooth, fun and chill. The people watching was really nice too - there were several folks alone working on their computers or just hanging out to small groups. There is a minimum spend of $25/person. The hookahs range from $22-$45 and there are non-alcoholic beverages (coffee/tea/soda) available for purchase. Not surprising, but the place is very smokey. I am not sure if other hookah lounges have "better" air filtration systems. I will say the service was really good - the charcoal kept getting replaced without anyone requesting it, I kept thinking this will be done, but hours went by! Really nice experience.

They don't have ice ever...the last two times I've brought my own bag then one of guys asked if he can have some to provide to another section! They charge 12$ per person for one bottle. So if you bring TWO bottles that's 24$ per person. Whether you're drinking or not. The hookah itself is I think $45 and a refill is an outrageous price of $20. Music...sometimes they let a section have it for the duration that THEY are there but sometimes you can put in a request but honestly they just need a DJ or curated playlist because listening to straight trap is mentally insane. There's no balance from RnB, Neo Soul, Hip Hop, Pop, Afro Beat. Service, just be ready get up and grab them. Always ask for disposable hookah hoses because they regular tubes I can tell they barely clean, I've gotten a sore throat twice and I couldn't figure it out at first. However, I do like the ambiance with the low lights and couches. Yeah, I have been multiple times simply because I wasn't paying or friends didn't know better and wanted to see for themselves. But yeah take the extra drive go somewhere else.

Luxe is a great hookah place, until recently. Their checkout system is deceiving. Upon requesting…read morethe receipt, they show you the total and tip options. I sure tip when service is good, so I add 15%-20% depending on service. When I received the receipt, it shows an additional service charge of 18% which they do not disclose when you view you the total on the handheld. My colleagues told me that they are aware of it as it's on the bottom of the menu. Server should disclose that 18% service charge is already on the bill. Besides that, the place is very spacious and clean. Hookahs are 4-5 stars alone.

My friend had her birthday celebration here last night. I never heard about this place but was…read moreimmediately intrigued when she told me about it. It's a live show while you have dinner. The staff was very friendly and I did enjoy the host of the show. I thought he did a great job interacting with everyone in the audience. However, we were there for a good 2 1/2 almost 3 hours and after a while the show started to feel very repetitive. The same performers and performances would come on stage on a loop. I did enjoy the performances but after a while it did become quite predictable. As far as the food, I wasn't crazy about it. I ordered the calamari for my appetizer- which was pretty good. I liked the sauce that was drizzled on it. However, my entree was kind of a disappointment. I got the lamb shank which just didn't mesh well with my taste buds. I know this is a cultural dish so it's just not a taste I was used to. However, I did wish I enjoyed it a little bit more. I will say the lamb was nice and tender. The best thing I had that evening was the pink dahlia. It was a delicious cocktail made with Malibu rum, pina colada mixture, pineapple juice and strawberry purée. It was so yummy, I had two! I'm grateful I got to experience this place, it was an overall enjoyable night. With that being said I don't see myself coming back to this establishment. For me it's very much a one and done experience.

I would definitely come back to try more items on the menu. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience.

The small hookah is a bust. Absolutely worthless. I might as-well spend the extra 5$ and get a large. I also learnt you could play Xbox along with shish-a. I was really excited about it. This time I had to plug in all the connections and setup the Xbox though. Next step, it took about ~15 mins for updates. Finally, I put in the FIFA23 disc only to see this is a damaged disc. They have no other games besides this! Overall, not a happy outing.
