They have a few TVs for viewing and had a live belly dancer briefly perform. They didn't have a DJ. It seems like they were playing music from a music playlist, which was a mix of RnB and Hip Hop. Their menu has food, drink, and hookah options. They had nothing on the menu except for Suya; so, we didn't have food. The drinks were pretty good and reasonably priced, given that they were served in plastic cups. The hookah was pretty good and lasted awhile. Of note, the bartender couldn't take cash because she didn't have enough change in the register to return; the only option was card payment.

The sign would advise they open at 5, but doors wouldn't open until nearly an hour later. They would frequently do grocery runs to Walmart then charge you the same amount for items such as wings that were clearly different and finally arrived right before they close the lounge. So you literally had to box them, then pay your bill to close..... With that said, The recent visit I made last week was MUCH better. Decor of this locale is real loungy and sleek. Nice ambiance for a Gwinnett experience...The staff is very pleasant, and the Siracha wings are amazing!!! Presentation was so simple but nice... My friend got another chicken dish, that kinda looked like a Cordon Bleu, and that was quite tasty as well. Drinks are fair, (tiny portions with ice), and the music is good. Mix of African/Reggae/HipHop. In all, I recommend this place if the consistency stays like this....but I had to be honest about my previous experiences.

Service is always amazing!!!!…read more Idk if we paid for someone else's food along with our but our tab was high as hell for dinner. We did bot see the ticket this time around, the waitress just scanned the card. The food is normally pretty tasty, but I was not a fan of the red pea soup, flavorless and testones could use some type of salt or sauce, but the callaloo and the cabbage were amazing. My guy liked the stew chicken. I have definitely had better food with more reasonable prices.

I've ordered from this restaurant several times through Uber, and we've always enjoyed the food…read more That's why this experience was so disappointing. The only difference this time was that I decided to pick up the order myself instead of having it delivered. When I arrived, I told the bartender I was there for my Uber pickup and waited where I was directed. After about 6-8 minutes, I politely asked if my order was ready. I was told someone from the kitchen would bring it out, so I walked to the kitchen door, knocked, and asked if the order was ready. I never entered the kitchen. Within moments, I was accused of going into the kitchen. A woman approached me, put her hands on me, identified herself as the manager, refused to give me her name, called me a derogatory name, and told me I would not be getting the food I had already paid for. She also told me she would make sure I could never order from the restaurant again and demanded that I leave. She later claimed to be law enforcement, but when the police arrived, I was told she was actually working as security. I asked that the security footage be reviewed because it would show I never entered the kitchen. I was told they didn't have access to the cameras at that time. What made this even more concerning was that the entire situation appeared to stem from the assumption that I was an Uber driver instead of the customer picking up my own meal. Whether someone is a customer, a delivery driver, or an employee, everyone deserves to be treated with respect. I also found it troubling that the person who was later identified as security appeared to be drinking while working. If she was in fact acting as security during this incident, that raises serious concerns about professionalism. The police responded to the scene, I left without the food I had already paid for, and I have video documenting the interaction. I stand by this review as an accurate account of my experience and hope the owner takes the time to review what happened so no customer--or delivery driver--has to go through something like this again.

When we first arrived, the hostess told us the restaurant was reservation-only, but that the bar and lounge were available for walk-ins. We stepped away for just a few minutes to discuss our plans and decided we'd go to the bar and lounge. When we returned, the hostess completely changed her story and said that while it's usually walk-in, it wasn't that day. It was a confusing and frustrating experience. I've never been told I couldn't walk into a bar to order a drink, especially after being told moments earlier that it was an option. If the policy had changed because the bar reached capacity, that would have made sense--but that wasn't what we were told. The inconsistent communication left a bad impression, and unfortunately we took our business elsewhere.

This review is strictly for security. One star, and that's for the jackass at the front…read more I wish I had gotten his name because I would absolutely put it here, and I will be putting him on blast. He was rude, ignorant, and a straight-up coward for the way he spoke to a group of women. Puffing his chest out, cursing at us like he wanted to fight--completely out of line. It would have been a whole different vibe if men had been with us. Let me be clear: this is 100% about security, not the establishment. I actually enjoyed the place. We were there for my daughter's birthday, had a great time, and our waitress was top-notch--super sweet. We paid for a section, which came with a bottle of wine, and were told we could take it if we didn't finish it. At the end of the night, my daughter walked out with the unopened bottle. It wasn't bagged. This security guard lost his mind--cursing at her and at me, telling us to "get the fuck out" and "don't come back." I tried to explain no one gave us a bag, but he didn't listen and didn't care. I have never felt so threatened over something so small. He completely ruined what had been a great night. I did call afterward, and someone was very apologetic and said they would handle it. I hope they actually review the footage, because his behavior toward a group of non-aggressive women was rude, aggressive, and unacceptable. We were honestly just confused by the whole situation. Yes, I understand the rules about taking alcohol out, but it wasn't bagged and we had been drinking--maybe we should have asked, but still, that didn't justify his behavior. I don't blame the waitress much; she had a lot going on and probably forgot. The villain of the night was that one stupid-ass security guard. His delivery was everything. All he had to do was calmly tell my daughter to go back in and get a bag. Instead, he chose to curse and threaten us. What a poor excuse for a black man. I liked the establishment, but I won't spend money somewhere that hires people like that. To that security guard: talk to your mom, your sisters, or any woman in your life--because you clearly don't know how to respect women. You're a coward, and you wouldn't talk to me

My girlfriend made this mistake and we ended up paying $75 for three Tito's and tonic.

I ordered the catfish with hushpuppies, and my friend ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and sautéed bell peppers. The food was okay. The mashed potatoes were tasty. That was the highlight of our meal. Now, the service was poor. Our server kept disappearing for long periods of time, and it was very frustrating. Most of the servers need a class on customer service and waiting tables, but I guess no one cares when you get your tip regardless of how you treat your customers. I feel like this place should have been packed on a Saturday night, but it wasn't. Sapphire has the potential to be great, but there is most definitely a lot of work to be done, starting with the staff and possibly advertise more.

I decided to tell her what kind of tequila I liked and allow her to do her thing I didn't have anything particular in mind, but I was glad I let the bartender do what she does best. My drink was freaking delicious! I did look at the menu to see what I wanted and decided on the hot honey chicken sandwich. This sandwich came out and it was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had and I am a chicken sandwich connoisseur by trade. I had just a couple of fries and then seasoning very well, but I didn't need them because the chicken sandwich was so filling I got a hookah and told her I like something fruity and she made me the best hookah I've had in a long time. I was able to blow for hours and the coals did not go out nor did I need a refill. When I tell you guys, I'll be back very soon and I'm going to invite my friends here, it'll be insane when we come.

The attendant within the cigar shop is always patient and offers great advice if you don't know what you're looking for. They'll even show you how to enjoy a cigar if it's your first time. The owners are always on the job. They're so welcoming and kind. It's always nice to catch them in the middle of the hustle and bustle. This time around was my first brunch experience at Humidor. Brunch is buffet-style and is family friendly. They offer a wide range of options while giving you a taste of both southern and Jamaican cuisine. There is also a waffle and omelet station. Plus they have good drinks, so you can't miss. It's definitely a calmer atmosphere than their late night scene. The vibe is great and they play different genres of music (hip hop, rnb, soul, soca, reggae, konpa). If you're not into cigars, but don't mind the smoke, you should definitely give them a try. If you're even the slightest bit concerned about too much smoke, they do offer outdoor seating as well.

Not that large that I would think it's a lounge, more like a bar or pub. You have to scan to pull up the menu and immediately there's no wine or drink menu. Princess our waitress suggested the wine daiquiris which was a mix of strawberry and mango. It was overly sweet and couldn't even taste any wine, so my friend didn't even drink hers. The "tapas" menu was only like 4 things to choose from, we expected much more. We had honey lemon pepper wings, jerk salmon bites first. I then ordered after asking if they do Buffalo with lemon pepper since that wasn't an option wings. That's an extra 75 cents to make what is a common wing flavor. So they are setting up birthday parties, while we are wrapping up. This location opened October 2022, and we were told by our waitress that brunch was better and more options. We automatically charged gratuity although it was only 2 of us and we weren't told until we had to pay. The music was so loud we had to ask for it to be turned down so we could hear and talk. There was no one there but the employees because they had no customers. With all the plazas around it was hard to find this place, even the employees order food from Uber instead of eating here. I like to support small businesses but would say this is not somewhere I want to go again or recommend to anyone else. Our waitress, Princess was very nice and attentive despite all the negatives.

She was so nice and it was good to finally put a face with the person I had been texting. Immediately, I loved the decor and I loved the vibe. This space is super cute and very quaint. I loved the colors and the VIP area. They are amazing photo opportunity spots. The candles on the table added that extra touch of cuteness and they smelled amazing. Our server Princess was very friendly and polite. She was accommodating and ensured she communicated with us often. We LOVED the food and the drinks were superb.

Unfortunately though they had upcoming reservations so we weren't able to sit in the main room. We sat in their second dining room which was off to the side but still decorated. Our service was still good and the waiter was very attentive. For apps, we got the She Crab soup. I would've preferred for the crab meat to be sprinkled on top vs. in the soup but nonetheless it was still delicious. Super fresh!! Omg.

And let me tell you, they did not disappoint with the shrimp. 6 jumbo pieces. Omg. The entree was done pretty well and it was just the right portion size.
