Well this was definitely the lowest fat, lowest calorie dessert I've ever had....apple martini hookah! I don't know what they serve during the day, but after dark, this place is a swanky, reservations-suggested hookah lounge.
We arrived around 11 on a Saturday night and the bouncer was like "sorry, there's no way." He was nice enough though, we chatted it up for a minute explaining we were from DC and asked about the crowd, schedule, etc...So, we take off, head around the corner for a cab, he comes running around the corner and grabs us, gives us advice on how to get a space/service at the bar and let's us in. AND wouldn't accept the tip I tried to give him. A head nod for your awesomeness sir.
And that's where the great service ended. Seriously bitchy staff, with one exception (short brunette bartender....very perky and very attentive). The other two were horrid. Our first waitress took forever to take our order, then bring our hookah, and after she brought it, never came again. Not for re-ups, not for drinks, nothing....though she gladly continued to help everyone else at the bar. Hate to say this, but I'm 99% sure she had a serious issue with the interracial couple I was there with. I don't normally blame ish like that, but her attitude was NIGHT and DAY with us and all the white people at the bar.
Anyhow, back to the hookah. About 8 or so basic favors (ie cherry, apple, etc.), add a coupe dollars and you can have designer flavors like red velvet cake, key lime pie and the apple martini we ordered. Honestly, it just tasted like apple to me, but it was cool. Add a couple more dollars for an "ice hose" and you've got a $20 puff-puff-pass. But be warned, it was barely a cool hose (though that might have been hater-bartender's fault).
But enough complaints, the hookah was yummy and easy smoking. The crowd was sexy, and Crave has a nice sultry decor, with cool abstract art on the walls. I'd give it another shot, especially in the summer...there's outdoor seating. :)
