Went to Chi Cha Lounge for Valentines dinner and hookah. It was a last minute decision, but turned out to very good. I'm no avid hookah smoker(2nd time), so this review is loosely based on the actual hookah smoking, and more so on the service and experience. Its down the street from the super busy part of U Street so its not that bad, but parking is still terrible, there's a valet at the end of the block and a garage down the block towards Adams Morgan behind Marie Reed Elementary school. Dinner reservations were made for 8pm and we were promptly seated even though we were 15 minutes late. The host was very welcoming and seated us in the "dinner" area. The restaurant is split into 2 areas, a restaurant in the "back" and a lounge in the front. The place has a low lit, trendy lounge type of feel with lots of sofas and plush seating. Live DJ in the front room spinning Top 40/RB/Hiphop/Dance, which unlike most lounges actually had a really good playlist(even threw in some GO-GO..oh yeah)!! The music plays in both the lounge and the restaurant area. The dining area consists of a long bench down one wall with about 6-7 tables and cube type seats(not very comfortable) on the other side of the tables. The back wall has about 10+ more pairs of these cube seats with a small table at each. Then at each end of the room are large "group" seating areas they had reserved for large groups. The whole setup is nice and creates an intimate mood since the tables are pretty close to each other, it was nice as the couple next to us was really cool and we challenged each other to taking a few shots. The only issue with the seating is if you do order food and hookah you have to get creative on how to fit plates, drinks, and hookah all on the small tables, but it can be done. As for the service, I think they did a great job. The guy who setup our hookah was cool, got it setup and burning for us. I think our actual server's name was Aaron(??) and he did a great job as well. Very attentive an
Shisha and Latin? The shisha was not very good, wrong coals?. The server did not ask what kind of tequila my friends wanted for their margaritas... so he went with premium tequila. Really? Below average service and completely overpriced for this establishment. There are so many places to go in DC... why come here?
Ok so lets start with the host. I didn't catch her name, but she was very unpleasant upon arrival. If you don't like greeting people then you probably shouldn't be in that kind of work. Next lets talk about our server... I didn't catch her name but our party called her Trina lol. She seemed like we were bothering her..... Oh, I'm sorry. Next time we'll just go get our own food, drinks and hookah and bring it with us. Ok now to the food...... Lets just say I'm glad I ate before I came. Oh and if you have a flash light handy you'll have to pull it out just to see what's going on. It wasn't completely terrible but it wasn't great either. I'd say find another hookah on U st before you choose this one.
