    Skyvibe is a beautifully decorated, modern restaurant and lounge in Laurel with such a sleek, upscale vibe. We stopped in randomly and were immediately greeted with genuine kindness and hospitality. The bartender was fantastic, super welcoming and we ended up having a great conversation and I love that! They offer an African fusion menu featuring favorites like jollof rice, suya, meat pies, and jerk chicken. I didn't get a chance to try the food this time, but after seeing (and smelling!) everything, I'll definitely be back to do just that. My only small drawbacks were that they don't carry Patrón and the prices run a bit on the higher side. Aside from that, it's a really nice spot with a great atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out!

    I've dined at Skyvibe twice now; for dinner and brunch. I'll focus on my dinner experience. I love that they are located in historic Laurel. Having an African restaurant adds to the diversity of dining options. I stopped by after a nearby appointment, around 4:30pm on a weekday. It was my first visit. I entered through the bar and wasn't sure where the hostess was as no one greeted me. So I picked a table in the main dining room and seated myself. I later discovered the main entrance was street facing, not the entrance closest to the parking lot. Let me commend the decor. It's dark, but sexy. I think it's great ambiance for date night. I especially love the bar area with the elephant mural. The white piano in the main dining room is a nice touch. The table lamps blended well with the decor and were very useful as the lighting was dim for reading the menu. I got the Red Snapper with fried plantains and jollof rice as sides. While the food tasted good, I found the fish to be bland and asked for a side of pepper sauce which was provided. I didn't order any drinks because I wanted to eat my calories instead. My food was served exactly 30 minutes after ordering. The service was great. I requested and was given a tour of the upstairs lounge and patio. There's a small lot adjacent to the restaurant and ample street parking.

    I've been here several times now including for birthday celebrations and just randomly popping in. This review is long overdue! My most recent visit was for social hour (aka happy hour). We sat at the bar. Victoria was great! The specials aren't bad but there wasn't wine listed in the list. That's something I would add. Brunch and rum punch Sundays look really fun! Follow them on social media (sky vibe laurel) for updates!

    I finally had a chance to visit SkyVibe in Laurel, on main street. It definitely has a Vibe. Very nice bar, dining, and lounge areas. Nice decor. There is a rooftop, but I did not go up there. Bartender and staff were very friendly. I sat the bar and had a coconut island drink. Nice citrus and coconut flavors, not too sweet, with just the right amount of alcohol. I had Beef Bytes, Nigerian street-style beef suya, onions, suya seasoning. Very good flavors. Meat was not tender enough to my liking but the overall meal was filling. I will definitely visit again.

    Came here on a random Sunday night and was promptly seated. The lounge was a little under half full. We decided to share the sampler (shrimp, chicken, beef, salmon bites) and goat stew. Unfortunately the wait was about 30 mins and only the goat stew arrived. Within about 10 minutes after alerting the server, the sampler arrived. On a brighter note, food was delicious. Very flavorful. But if you like Nigerian food for the spiciness, be sure to ask them to put some pepper sauce in your dish. On the way out we realized the sign said rooftop so we went back to take a look and the hostess (maybe manager?) was enthusiastic about giving us a tour. There are 2 extra rooms upstairs including a rooftop! Size misleading from the outside for sure. Great space for private dinners on lower level too. I'm hopeful food would arrive more promptly next time so I'd totally be back.

    The after party

    I've only been here on Fridays but the vibe is always right. I appreciate when the DJ mixes things up a little bit instead of committing to afrobeats/ampiano all night but since that's the clientele - I get it. Drinks are always good, service could be a little better. My friend has a great relationship with the bartenders but that seems to hinder more than help because we tend to have to wait longer for our drinks. Haven't tried the food yet but it always smells amazing when they bring it out. The hookah is on point as well If you want a consistent good vibe, this is a great neighborhood gem

    Upstairs lounge

    Beautiful space. Unsettling experience. (this happened in June and I finally feel ready to share my experience) I visited on my birthday for a solo afternoon celebration (my birthday was on a Monday). The hostess was kind and accommodating, and I was impressed with the ambiance enough that I was initially planning to leave a glowing review. They even let me take pictures in the upstairs lounge, which I appreciated. However, my experience with the waiter who I won't even name atp, left me feeling deeply uncomfortable. He moved me from my original seat to the bar under pressure, brought me multiple shots of Rémy and topped off my champagne glass repeatedly, without ever disclosing the brand or price. I assumed, as many would, that all this was a birthday gesture "on the house." It wasn't... When the bill came, I was charged nearly $40 for the champagne. When I voiced concern, the waiter tried to hand me a partial refund in cash in front of the manager, who then claimed he couldn't process a refund to my credit card. It was confusing and humiliating, especially as I'd never requested most of the add-ons I was charged for. I ended up speaking with the hostess privately, who was shocked by what I shared and said she'd handle it and I left feeling distressed and shaken up. The bill was voided completely, because I never saw the charge, and I appreciate that however I am leaving this review because no woman celebrating alone should feel uncomfortable, pressured, or blindsided, especially on her birthday. This place has potential, but the line between hospitality and manipulation was crossed.

    My family and I visited Skyvibe for a Sunday brunch and had a pretty good experience, despite a few bumps. After we placed our drink order, the waitress came back to say they were out of Sprite, and somebody was running to a nearby store. We also had an order of hot chocolate (which is on the menu) and were told it was being prepared but may be a little wait. It ended up taking about 30 minutes for the sprite to be brought to the table, and we were told they couldn't find any hot chocolate at the store, so it was no longer an option. We were the first table to arrive, so it was a bit strange that at opening, the restaurant wasn't stocked with items that were options on the menu. We ordered the plantain appetizer for the table, and enjoyed the sweet plantain with the sauce (tasted like a sweet chili sauce). For the entrée, a few people ordered the salmon which the menu said came with jollof rice. That was where we were again, confused. The rice was clearly not jollof, but fried rice (which honestly seemed like the frozen fried rice you can get at any supermarket). When we asked about it, one of the staff said it's "jollof fried rice". I asked what makes it jollof and he said "the person who cooked it". Ok... I ordered the shrimp and grits and did enjoy that. They offer bottomless mimosas and bottomless lemon drops, and everyone did enjoy those. The DJ was also great! We enjoyed the mix he played, which added to the experience. I think I would visit again because overall, it was a good experience. I just really don't like when menu items don't match the description. I order based on the details provided on the menu, so it's disappointing when what's presented is not that.

    A modified salmon dish ordered from the brunch menu
    D P.

    I really wanted to love this spot because it's local and still fairly new, and I want it to succeed, but I think honesty is key. I will just say that the food wasn't what I ordered and I wasn't told in advance that because we ordered when the kitchen was transitioning from brunch to dinner, they would modify our orders per their choice. The menu said there was plantain relish with the salmon dish ($26) and what I got was salmon with some barbecue sauce on it. Underwhelming. The timing of our order was because the server took so long to come to our table so we could place the order. There was lack of transparency when it came to the bill which was initially showed to us on a screen rather than being printed out for us to review. They charge a service fee AND an automatic tip of 10% (for 2 people), but they didn't bother to mention that at any point and since there was no paper receipt until we asked in order to figure out why the bill was so high, we didn't see it until after we tipped. The bill was supposed to be corrected but they took so long, we didn't feel like waiting any longer so we left. Our server was very polite (although he asked for the tip on CashApp - a bit strange) and when he explained why, I didn't mind giving it to him that way but the establishment should just pay their workers better so that each person can keep the full tip that they earn. Their employees deserve better. The manager did come around to ask about our experience but it was before all of the problems surfaced. Our server generally did a great job so we had no complaints about him. There is a cute upstairs lounge with a DJ which looked like would be great to rent out for a small party, and an outdoor space on the roof which was rather dirty but had a pleasant breeze and seemed like would be great in the evening. I think a DJ was coming out there as well. The jollof rice was decent but overall I probably wouldn't go back. I hope things will improve with time. I would say to still check it out and judge for yourself.

    I came on "Rum Punch Sunday"! The drinks were strong and the jerk chicken was on point. Served hot baby...... the temperature and the right about of spice. I went to the rooftop and it's a whole vibe up there. A live DJ, music was on point, bar, lounge and you can even order hookah. You can vibe out and chill, dance or just have a great time with your girls. The service was good too. I will definitely be back to try brunch!

    Banana island cocktail
    Jessica A.

    It definitely was a vibe at Skyvibe! I had an enjoyable time with some friends at the bar area last night. The place has a very dark aesthetic, the music wasn't overwhelmingly loud, and as it got later, there was live music from a violinist. We first ordered drinks, and the bartender was so kind to bring me a free additional cocktail! I'm not sure what the second drink was but it tasted better than the banana island cocktail I first ordered. I will admit, the drinks are a tad pricey, especially for Laurel, MD, so it was nice to get a free drink. We eventually ordered some food and got a side of jollof and the salmon bites, which came with a really tasty dip. I really loved the salmon bites and they made a great bar snack. It's great to have a bar/lounge with DC vibes in suburban Maryland. Saves time for having to drive all the way down to the city.

    Where do I begin! We were excited to feel the vibes at skyvibe lounge and experience some karaoke however we showed up on game night lmbo.... However the night was amazing! When you walk in you can feel the luxury, the decor, paintings and overall aesthetic is simply beautiful. We were seated immediately as it wasn't too busy on a Wednesday night at around 7:30 ish. Our server was so nice as she had her work cut out for her. I was with a party of 9-10 to celebrate a birthday. And our waitress was the sweetest, took her time , made sure to get everyone's meal correct, and was a pleasure. She explained the meals perfectly to the non- Nigerians in the bunch and gets a A+ from me for pronouncing the names of some items on the menu. She even was invited into our pic and willingly obliged. Nandi absolutely passed the vibe check. If you visit ask for Nandi!!!!! Yes, I say wholeheartedly this place has the most authentic Nigerian food I've had at a restaurant. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal. I got ewedu & gbegiri w/ amala and that food was the best and most amazing I've had in this continent my goodness a 10 out of 10. The food was so good my sister wanted to meet the chef but unfortunately she had gone for the day. Many blessings to the establishment. Laurel needs a place like this and I will definitely be back for karaoke on the right night. We ain't get the karaoke but we definitely got the vibes .

    I thought I'd come back and give them a try after seeing them mention they were under new management and a new happy hour concept. This special was advertised as pay the hour price which means if it's within the 4:00 hour you pay $4 for a drink for certain bites, 5:00 hour you pay $5 for certain drinks or bites, etc. It started at 4:00 so I made plans with friends to meet them there at 4:00. I believe again my money's worth so I arrived at 4:15. I approached the door I entered before but when I tried to open the handle it was locked. I was a little confused and double checked my watch which displayed it was after 4:00, almost 4:30. I noticed there were cars in the parking lot with people sitting in them so I decided to walk around to the other side because I remember they said they also renovated somewhat. That door however was locked and there was signage on it stating to go to the door I had just left. I noticed someone sitting at the bar as I walked back past and lightly tap on the glass and they told me to go to the door I originally tried which was locked. I went back to that door and again it was locked so I knocked but no one came. I started to wonder if the gentleman who was sitting at the bar was directing me to go up the stairs to the door around the corner so I attempted to. However, there wasn't a door around there so I decided to go up the next set of steps to which I found seating and tables halfway covered which gave me the impression this area had not been used today or in a while. I proceeded around the corner to another area that had high tops but that door was locked as well. As I was coming back down, I decided to call my friend and informed them that the doors were locked. As I got to the bottom of the steps I noticed someone had put a sign on the door I had tried originally stating they didn't open until 5:30. I laughed because how are they going to put a sign up on the door sitting they don't open until 5:30 after they just told me to try the door. It would have been nice if they would have just opened it and explained that to me. Also how do you advertise having a happy hour that starts at 4:00 and not open until 5:30? We left and went somewhere else down the street. We decided as we were walking back to our cars that we would try again. So we decided to go in and sit down. My friend had already had a few drinks so decided upon only water. I wanted to try their drinks and food so I ordered a margarita and the jerk wings. I noticed the bartender from before who has always been extremely helpful and nice was there again. I thought I had ordered my drink one way but she quickly came back and told me I had stated something else and without a breath offered to make it the way I believe I had ordered originally. How awesome was that!? She brung the new drink to me and it was perfect! I then asked her when the wings would be ready and she stated they had a large party so it should be out shortly. When the wings came out I noticed they looked odd but decided I would try them first. They were very dry and instantly got stuck in my teeth. I asked for a takeout container and when she brought it over to me, she asked me how my food was. I explained to her I wasn't the biggest fan of it and that it was really dry. She informed me that they most likely cooked it in the oven first then reheated them. Well that would explain why there's absolutely no moisture in those wings at all. She did remove it from my bill and I was gracious for that because I had told her I was just going to give it to a homeless person as I rode through the city and she told me I still could. Well, that was my third time trying this place and I can say with confidence that I will not be back. Hopefully they get things together and improve tremendously. It was not busy at all the time that we were there for happy hour and I assume at night is when their largest crowd comes.

I ordered the Lamb Shawarma, which had tender meat and a wonderful blend of Mediterranean spices. The empty plates around the table said it all. Dessert was the highlight of the meal. The chocolate mousse cake and the layered almond-lemon cake were both rich, flavorful, and a perfect finish.

The lounge is on the smaller side, which actually worked well for the event and gave it an intimate vibe. The owner was also very nice and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The menu is extremely limited, and you pretty much have to piece together a meal from a few items. I ordered the jollof rice and six-piece chicken wings. The wings were overpriced, overcooked, and had no flavor at all. The only options were sauces on the side (honey, ranch, or blue cheese), and when I specifically asked for honey drizzled on top with blue cheese on the side, that request wasn't followed. Even more frustrating, our server never came back to check on us or make sure everything was okay. The jollof rice was honestly the worst part. Instead of that rich, smoky flavor you'd expect, it tasted burnt with a harsh charcoal aftertaste. I've had jollof rice many times before, and this was nowhere close. I ended up sending it back. Because I was hungry, I forced myself to eat the wings, even though they were dry and lacked flavor. Overall, Myste Lounge has a nice look and potential, but the food and service really need improvement. A revamped menu and better attention to guests would make a huge difference.

Literally translating to "white liquor," it is typically distilled from fermented grains like sorghum, rice, or wheat and ranges from 35% to 60% ABV. As the world's most consumed spirit, it boasts a history spanning millennia How It's MadeUnlike most Western spirits, baijiu relies on qu, a unique starter culture of crushed grains packed with active molds and yeasts. This culture simultaneously converts grain starches into sugars and ferments those sugars into alcohol--a process called solid-state fermentation. The mash is then traditionally distilled in clay or stone pots. Just like wine or whiskey, baijiu isn't a single flavor. It is categorized into four primary styles, though many sub-varieties exist: Strong Aroma: Sweet and pungent with fruity and spicy notes (e.g., Wuliangye). Sauce Aroma: Complex and savory, often likened to soy sauce, fermented vegetables, or dark chocolate (e.g., Kweichow Moutai). Light Aroma: Crisp, clean, and floral, similar to sake or high-end vodka. Rice Aroma: Mild, slightly sweet, and floral, closely resembling other Asian grain spirits like shochu.

    An Italian and Jamaican fusion restaurant is such a fun, unique concept. Catherine's was really one…read moreof a kind! The interior is quite spacious and very nicely decorated. The decor accents are upscale and the dining room was SO crowded on a Sunday night - I didn't see one empty seat in the house! Booking a reservation is a must. They had live music and every member of the wait staff seemed polite, professional, and well put together. The restaurant does get fairly loud with all of the guests though. I tried the sorrel and it was spot on, very gingery and a touch on the sweet side. My family members and I also tried the Rasta pasta, the oxtail lasagna and the Ital Pot entrees. The entrees are a bit on the pricier side, but for most things, the portions are good. I'm a Caribbean who does not enjoy spicy food so I opted for the mild Rasta pasta but I think I could have upped it to the medium spice level - the mild was very creamy and cheesy, but lacked a bit of that signature jerk flavor. The oxtail lasagna was very cheesy and rich with a good amount of oxtail in between the layers, but I wish that the Jamaican flavors were more pronounced in this as well. I didn't try the Ital Pot personally, but the salmon that it came with was cooked to perfection.

    I was able to get a sitter for my 3 littles, so I went on a triple date to try out Catherine's. We…read moremet my sister and her husband standing outside of the restaurant because there is no waiting area inside the restaurant. The decor is really cute inside and we were seated right away. My cousin and his girlfriend showed up shortly after and someone came to pour water. They let you know as soon as you're seated that there is a 90 minute time limit for the table and it starts as soon as the waitress arrives. We ordered lemon pepper wings,codfish fritters and jerk chicken bruschetta for appetizers. The wings were delicious and hot out of the oven. The fritters were good,but thin, and didn't have much saltfish in it. The bruschetta was nothing to write home about. For entrees we got jerk salmon, jerk chicken, oxtail lasagna, lambchops and 2 orders of braised short ribs. 2 people received their food at least 10 minutes before everyone else. If you're going to impose a time limit, your kitchen and wait staff need to be on point, or the timer shouldn't start until after everyone receives their food. The jerk salmon was very well cooked, but hardly seasoned. The oxtail lasagna was like regular lasagna, but instead of ground beef, they used oxtail and it had bechamel sauce instead of marinara. It was also very cheesy. It wasn't bad, but at $36 I would have expected more. The lambchops were out of this world. Very well seasoned and the gravy was finger licking good, but you only get 3 per order. My cousin didn't let me try his jerk chicken, but he said it wasn't bad. To note, a lot of reviews said the rice and peas weren't good,but we must've came on a good rice day because our rice was good. For dessert we got bread pudding, rass prince, tiramisu and flour-less chocolate cake. The chocolate cake was too thick and the texture of the mousse in the rass prince wasn't that great. The tiramisu and bread pudding were good though. This was the first time I've been to a restaurant where the waitress didn't come back to check on us mid meal. No one could order a second drink and we had to ask a random person passing about getting our water refilled. The manager came by before dessert to ask how was dinner and we had to ask him for water (since it still wasn't filled) and for a dessert menu. At their price point, I would expect better service,but since 18% gratuity (and 20% for parties bigger than 6) is automatically added there isn't any incentive for the wait staff to do better.

    First time here! I actually found it via Yelp, as I was looking to connect with a friend. We made…read morereservations online. When arrived, my friends last name was on a table tent, on the table. $15 unlimited mimosas for 2 hours!! OJ, cranberry and pineapple. Cranberry was my fav. For refills, they bring you a glass of mimosas to the table. You have to literally almost finish your glass before a refill can come out. We both had the Denver Omelete $16. That was good, maybe not as filling. The restaurant didn't have any salsa! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa The home potatoes were good. St. Patty's day brunch special. We also had an Irish Car Bomb lol Horse racing also was free to watch! Started at 12pm, there was about 11 or 12 races. A good deal of horse bets were going on too Edwin was an awesome waiter! Bathrooms are big, clean and spacious This entire race track building is HUGE! You could spend an entire morning in there, getting lost and seeing some pretty cool things Free parking outfront This was a cool & different way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Good food, good people, horse racing!

He introduced himself and gave us his info for future reservations. Karla was our server and she was a joy and a pleasure. We had an amazing view of the track, the post parade, and the finish line. We ordered the meat lovers flat bread and crab cake and shrimp sandwiches. The flatbread was tasty, the crab cake sandwiches had large chunks of crabmeat, and the shrimp added even more delicious flavor. Karla checked on us regularly to ensure we never sat with empty glasses. We will definitely be back for Sunday brunch!

    I really have been under a rock! I had been mistakenly avoiding Miss Toya's chain but I need to…read moremake up for loss time and so should you if you haven't been. My schedule was rearranged last minute on a Saturday so I decided to catch their brunch. The laurel location was the closest to me. I was able to reserve a spot at the bar on open table about an hour before arrival . It must have been a lucky day for me because there were plenty vacancies and I didn't need to make a reservation. There was live jazz playing. I sat at the bar - shout out to Nnamdi who was the bartender and my waiter. Food wise: brunch only offers the $55 unlimited food option for two hours. I was completely fine with this as I was able to taste multiple dishes. I had the fried deviled eggs, Rockefeller oysters, bang bang shrimp, deep fried snow crab legs, pork chop and grits, wings in hot honey lemon pepper (their signature sauce) and the white chocolate bread pudding I enjoyed everything except the deep fried crab legs. The cluster was hallow. I had more fried batter than crab meat. Deviled eggs were my favorite of all the things I tried. And the bread pudding was sinfully delicious . I wasn't able to finish my last two items ordered but luckily I was able to fit it in the to-go box. Most places that serve unlimited food don't allow to-go boxes so I was happy to not have my leftovers go to waste. I opted for the bottomless cocktails as well. I stuck to the mimosas and tried the different flavors. The pours were generous. Nnamdi was very attentive and I appreciate him answering all of my clarifying questions as it was my first time. Gratuity is included! I am excited to go back! Before leaving I ordered a cocktail (MisKiri IX) that wasn't included in the bottomless cocktails. It was good. A little too sweet for me but glad I tried it.

    Takeout experience was not good. I arrived to see the hostess mopping up a mess on the pickup…read morecounter that apparently came from my order. She said"the kitchen" messed up packing my order but instead of sending it back, she "fixed it". Honestly it seemed like she was trying to get me my food on time, but management should have been called to solve this problem and ensure I didnt leave the restaurant with collard greens missing all their juices. I didnt know what exactly happened with tje packaging, so since I was told the problem was "fixed", I took my food and left. The worst part was the deviled egg appetizer. Another casualty of the kitchen, apparently. It looked unappetizing when I got home and opened it, and the crab topping that I paid an extra $3 for gave off a very strong smell (reminiscent of the kitchen of a seafood restaurent) and also appeared wet. I'd guess they took crab straight from a can, put it on top of the eggs, and covered it with old bay seasoning. Very disappointing. Sadly these were not the only issues, as the collard greens themselves were bland and a little tough. There was also a wooden stick in my greens?? Not sure why. Although the catfish was fried well, that's the only satisfactory thing about this experience, and everything else ruined it.
