Taiga - Lake Magdalene

I visited from orlando. first, love the dj. he played good music. the amount is mixed. I'd probably go earlier than too late. very full, so there is really no place to sit or really stand. the inner is a small hole in the wall. the bartenders were okay, but not very attentive or hype lol they need a structure. hide a few girls to clean the tables and help with the hookas. pull them up and get them popping lol. also someone should pay attention to the amount of ppl in the inner and sitting people. Yes, you all need that while some girls started fighting and that was my task to go. *I have my review for her. to appreciate the answer.

They have some of the best wings nearby. I live across the street and typically grab wings from here. I went one evening the gentleman at the door was charging to get in. I’ve never paid to only order wings I told him I am leaving not staying he insisted I pay. I refused he told me to order next door at the liquor store. I go into the liquor store bought a bottle of wine and proceeded to ask if I could buy food. They told me they are not affiliated with the bar/restaurant they only provide them liquor. Hmmm

Did not know this was a Hookah. Went to eat because it was listed as a patio bar and grill. I asked if there was a table inside for us to eat. I was told we had to pay $20 to sit at a table. We paid! Only to go on and there was no tables. We left and they wouldn't give us our $20 back after they told us a table or booth was available. You would think integrity would be a value of theirs but it certainly is not. We weren't there more than 30 seconds because there were no tables and you can't check. So we went off the word of the host and it turns out they were lying. I've deployed and gave these folks $20 of my hard earned sacrificial money which may seem irrelevant to some, but I may very careful as to what businesses I support. I lost out on this one. Never again!!!!!!!! And to think I was going to ask them to host 75 of my Soldiers as an event here in a few months, this experience has certainly changed my mind. Sad, sad, sad!........... Response to Rony (Owner)........ Good morning. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Although your door guys are not telling you the truth, here is exactly what was said.... To the security: We have never been here before and we were looking for somewhere to grab a quick a bite with a nice ambiance. Security: They stop serving food at 9pm. Me: Really? Well we are going to go somewhere else. Security: One moment, let me make sure. (Walks over to door guys, then returns) Security: Food stops being served at midnight. Me: Ok. Are there tables inside for us to sit down? Security: You will have to ask them (door guys) (I was searched, but noticed the females weren't) *I'm in the military and my responsibility is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in today's society, women can be and in many cases are very often involved in situations that occur. Yes, discrimination occurs in our military* Me to the door guys: How are you gentlemen? We were wanting to sit down and grab a quick bite. Is that possible? Door guy (with mustache): Sure, it's $20 to enter. Me: $20 to enter, we just want to eat. We have to pay $20 just to sit down at a table? Gentleman with mustache: Yes. Me: Well, are there any tables inside available? Or a booth? Gentleman with mustache: Yes. Not many people are inside. You can just grab table. (I paid the $20 and then entered the building. To my surprise, there were only chairs along the wall available, but no tables or booth where we could sit down and eat and enjoy the ambiance We left, and then approached the Gentleman with the mustache. Me: There are no tables or booths available. Gentleman with mustache: Shrugs shoulders. Me: I paid $20 for a table or booth and there is nothing available. Think we can have our $20 back? We were only inside a matter of seconds. Gentleman with mustache: Shrugged shoulders again as he shook his head no. Rather than argue and cause a scene, I decided to just do the respectable thing and just leave. This is verbatim what happened and what was said.

I don't need to go there to know that the door men are corrupted there. Honesty speaks very clearly. Fix your gatekeeper or you will pay the price for doing bad business. Just when you thought the Domino effect could not happen to you.

I and my brother came like last Saturday and it was a great time. the dj was the best I've heard since I was down here. back soon
