Embr Lounge — Restaurant in Atlanta

I never leave long reviews but this place needs one because never again. I feel like on a regular night, it can have potential. However, for NYE, me and my homegirl came here because of everything they were offering. We paid for the ticket and literally weren't able to do anything. Now, it's KIND OF understandable about not getting the "all you can eat and drink" part but not really. We got there on time and couldnt even get to the bar to order because it was too packed so of course by the time we did, the free stuff was over with. A few of the employees were rude af. Regarding the food.. to each its own is all I can say. Overall, the experience was trash. They didn't give out champagne for the NYE toast like the ticket stated ON TOP of starting the countdown late lol smh, we watched it hit 12 and they started counting down like 35 seconds later. They started moving tables and chairs (including the chairs at the bar) and made people get up and didn't accommodate for it.. (imagine having food, drinks and a hookah and nowhere to put any of it). Like I said, maybe on a regular night, there could be potential, but please, don't hold events that you charge for if you're not going to uphold to everything that's supposed to be offered. A bad time AND a waste of money?...

I love this place. The time me and my bf came it wasn’t packed or anything which worried me but this place was def a vibe. DJ Apex is the truth and he def had us dancing the entire time. We came to a brunch day party which was $25 a piece for buffet. However the only con was I had to talk to like 5 different people to confirm that I paid for a buffet. I’m guessing it was some miscommunication going on b/c how I get an invite and I made reservations but then get there and everyone was acting lost like they didn’t know what was going on. Me and my man had to wait 30 mins just to eat and our waitress was confused and slow at doing her job. I really didn’t care for her and it seemed as if she had an attitude so I’d say there needs to be some kind of training with customer service because majority of the waitresses seem as if they was annoyed and ready to go. Other then that I’d def come back only because this place was beautiful inside and the music was fire. However don’t hold your breathe when it comes to their waitresses and also know that there are hidden fees because my bill was suppose to be $50 for my bf and I buffet yet I was charged an extra $30 for what...

All around average. Being from Atlanta, there’s absolutely better clubs that don’t charge a $20 entry fee or charge $200-400 for a bottle/section. The bartender was nice, it’s just so packed that they aren’t able to be attentive. The drinks are a bit pricey. Shrimp pasta was $15 which was reasonable but made me question why the cocktails were around the same price. The pasta was okay. It wasn’t bad but wasn’t good either, it was just something to eat while drinking. Most of the space is sections, so if you don’t want to rent one, there’s pretty much no space to mingle, sit, or dance. The DJ was also only okay. The parking lot across the street is $35, which is another rip off. For two people just to enter the club you’ve already spent $75 just to be unimpressed. I think the lounge just gets away with the prices due to it being in midtown, which is a tourist & transplant hub. If you’re willing to leave the city you can easily find a better lounge with free parking, no entry fee (or one that’s actually worth it), free seating, better food, a nicer larger venue, and a better DJ. Definitely not a place that I would go again or...
