    They have a good thing going, butttttt….there was a 20 dollars entry fee for each person and there were 5 of us. After foods and drinks our bill was $808. Music was amazing. Dj played a bit of everything. The server was on point and she was working by herself…. Chairs are horrible. Bathrooms were in the worst condition I have even seen. It was so run down I felt disgusted. If I saw the bathroom before I ordered my food I would have never eaten there. The place makes enough money to renovate the bathrooms and get some decent chairs… presentation is every thing….you can’t just collect our money and subject us to filt. I don’t see myself going back.

    The vibes food, music and drinks were okay .. Waiters aren't to attentative. Another thing was the hookah. They literally charge $30 every refill . They said they only refill Flavors not coal . But my friend and I saw the coal used was the circle ones. (Which don't last long )hence repaying so much every refill. . I would suggest using the square ones that last longer. And at least offer one or two free refill of coal ... Or ,$5 or something . Maybe even try a new hookah company to connect with.

    The place is definitely a vibe. Only issue I had is they wanted me to pay 20 per person at the door that’s tacky as many people that come to this place you shouldn’t be shaking ppl for money at the door. You said nothing about this prior to booking.

    Loved my experience here. Only thing is although I had a reservation.. and I arrived 30 mins early on a Saturday , I had to pay to get inside the restaurant because of an event that was going on. Allegedly since I made reservations same day, the reservation doesn’t show in their system .. the guy at the door said “the best he could do was charge 20 instead of 30 per head” since we had a reservation. But other than that had a great experience

    When coming to skinnys on a sat or Sunday please be aware they will charge you 20 bucks at the door like if this is a club. When i asked what the 20 dollars is for no one had an answer. This fee doesn’t go towards final bill or anything. This is just an entrance fee that restaurant is now charging upon entry. This is really tacky if you ask me! I will not be back!
