Breathe Restaurant and Ultra Hookah Lounge

Best hookah bar around!!! Sexy bartender!!! Best hookahs!!! Great service from the best bartender ever ask for Raechel!!!

BEST HOOKAH BAR around… Sexy bartender (Raechel) with excellent service… They treat us like part of the family. Im a regular 2 – 3 times a week Great drinks, great hookahs and great price. Come to BREATHE… Leggggooooo its always a good time!

This place is awesome. The bartenders are super friendly and serve more alcohol than juice. :D music is great. Their sexy dj plays everything.

Absolutely horrible! They treat their guests with zero respect, the dj is terrible (music randomly cut off more than once), overpriced entry fee

To be honest the only good thing about our experience was the staff member lucky otherwise we could not wait to leave.
I’m not one to be overly critical but we went for hookah, it took 30 minutes to get the hookah out and we were given a drink menu but no one ever returned to ask for our drinks.
The crowd seemed severely underage and the scene itself made us all extremely uncomfortable
The place looked dirty and poorly taken care of.
Overall never again.
Dark, dirty, and no one to attend to customers.

Amazing atmosphere. The people here are so nice. Good flavours for hookah and drinks are very good. Have been here a couple times already and definitely coming back

Thanks Obama

The hot appetizer was good.

I am a foodie and world traveler. I LOVE the food, atmosphere, décor and karaōke Tuesday night. Chicken Schwarma is absolutely fantastic. Beet salad rocks.
Don’t be in a rush — patience pays off.
They’re making it fresh for you!
I ate there three times in one week with three different friends! Try it.

My advice: stay away!
On a Saturday night, there were a handful of customers and two people at the bar. That should have been my first clue that it would not be a good experience.
Totally incompetent waitstaff and equally incompetent management. Food not cooked to the temperature it was ordered (and then told that it could ONLY could be cooked medium/​medium well). Other dish was inedible, chewy and tasteless. I’ve never been to a Mediterranean restaurant that doesn’t serve rice with a dish and then has a $ 4 upcharge for it.
I’ve never, ever had such a terrible experience at a restaurant that words can’t even describe it. There are so many great restaurants out there, go anywhere else.

i went in a few months ago w a friend f out of town in the eve and there was no one there (i hear its a late nite place?). we sat at the bar for wine and a hookah (both very good).The staff was very friendly. Very cool atmosphere. They gave us a free desert to try and it was heaven. As far as overpriced, all of downtown is pricy. I just bought a grpn n i am looking forward to trying it for dinner.

Although I haven’t dined at this establishment before, I appreciate the reviews and comments. We will be vacationing in the South Florida area in two months and I’ve been trying to research pleasant places to dine while there. Upon reading the reviews of some of the patrons who also used a Groupon certificate, I’ve decided not to dine at this establishment. I believe reviews are valuable tools in communicating required change and deficiencies in current practices. I appreciate all who take the time to review.

After purchasing a certificate, we made a reservation for 5pm through Urban Spoon and got an email confirmation but no phone confirmation. We called 8 times to confirm and left one voicemail since the restaurant was 35 miles away. We never got a response so we left early and confirmed the reservation in person at 4:15 pm. When we returned to the restaurant, the GM said that we were not allowed to stay because they had a big party. I told him that we did not mind and that we had tried to confirm multiple times. He tried to dissuade us multiple times by saying that the «Groupon» did not allow for Sunday reservations (which was not the case with our Living Social coupon) and that we did not have a reservation (to which we showed him the email confirmation). When he had no legal way to say that we had to leave, he said «you could stay, as long as you don’t mind that your food comes out cold.»
At this time, I offered to mark the coupon as used if he gave me the $ 65 that I had spent on it, but he refused with an attitude. Considering the fact that I was not sure that I would get a refund for the $ 65 I spent on the coupon, we stayed. The server Jessica was very professional and did all she could to undo the apparent lack of hospitality of the GM. Unfortunately, there was not much she could do to make the situation any better because minutes after she took our order, the leg of one the booth benches we sat on gave way. It was at this time that the GM came back (still with an attitude) and after arguing for a while, I was finally able to convince him to give me the $ 65 in exchange for marking the coupon as used. I cannot attest to the quality of food at this establishment (because we never got to taste it) but I can say that it is not worth it to go to a restaurant where there is an apparent lack of hospitality training in the leadership that is too proud to handle an issue with a customer in a logical manner.
In the end, we walked out of Breathe and had dinner at Ziree Thai & Sushi next door which had an amazing Tom Kah Soup, Red Curry and Pad Thai.

Breathe is definitely a good place to eat, but what it lacks is variety. There’s a handful of different seafood, shawarma, and gyro entrees, and little else. Also, BIG WARNING, the menu featured on their website is completely different than the one they use in the restaurant.
We used the Groupon and felt the price was pretty reasonable but without it, Breathe is way overpriced. The entrees were only slightly overpriced, but the cheap house wine and appetizers were ridiculous; if we actually payed what we should have been charged without the Groupon (around $ 65), I would have felt ripped off.

I read all the reviews below and it seems a pretty odd mix of really happy or really not, but here is what I can tell you.
My expectations where to be served politely, to have a good meal, and to be comfortable on a double date we had with some good friends.
We had no problem finding parking on Friday night at 8:00pm, and was not forced to valet or anything like that.
We were seated immediately and the tables and seats were clean and the place actually looked pretty nice. Not sure what some are expecting but it was nice enough for us and we even made a comment to each other that it was nicer than we had expected. (it is not amazing, but not bad).
The place was chilly, so don’t wear shorts, and it took us a while to get out food, but that is about the only negatives I can give it. The reason I still give it 5 stars, is because when the food was taking forever to come, I said to our friends that they better be cooking to order and the food better be amazing.
The thing is it was. It was very authentic, very good, and the portion was huge.
I get out ALL THE TIME in Boca and Delray and often find myself just unsatisfied with the food that should be amazing based on reputation, location, and price. I lived in San Francisco for a while, so used to really good food everywhere.
This was the first meal (I got the mixed grill) that I felt really satisfied me and that I found myself thinking I wish I had two stomachs to start again. It was just really really good.
The waiter and the cook came by regularly and were super nice.
Everyone has their own opinion, but I just added this place to one of the 2 or 3 spots I would go back to on a regular basis and it was the best meal I have had on the Atlantic period.

Girls nite out! I was very impress by the atmosphere and the décor of the restaurant side of this establishment. We had high expectations for the food and was not disappointed. The food although quite different from our usual cuisine was delicious, served hot and plated nicely. The food was good to the taste and to the eye. We ordered 2 appetizers and 4 different dishes on the menu. The portions were good and tasty. However, the server left a lot to be desired. We had to wait an unusually lengthy time to get the bill and even longer to pay the sever. Thus, the 4 stars.
My group love eating out and would travel for good food! We drove from South Broward to Delray to eat at Breathe and we would definitely do it again.

Stopped in for a drink. This place has an identity crisis. Has a nightclub lounge hookah bar with upscale stripper décor. For those reasons I get skeaved out at the restaurant being clean although I know it is probably me being mental. Plenty of parking in back. Valet only there to give impression of high endedness… is that a word? :). The menu and restaurant seating is in a separate room and looks nice.

Can’t believe this place is still in business! I heard they had a phenomenal opening, and then didn’t hear anything after that. Decided to give it a try one night, as I enjoy new restaurants. It is so poorly run!!! They make you valet and pay, even though there is parking and it’s off the Avenue. The restaurant was not busy, yet they sat us next to their huge 20 person party and had us share a waitress. One of the worst waitresses I’ve had in my life. She never came over, forgot orders, etc. I told the manager, who didn’t care. I always think bad wait staff is a reflection of a bad manager. In this case, I was right!
The only saving grace was the food was very good!
I would never return. It was super pricey. When you go out for an expensive meal, the food is only part of it. You expect service and ambiance. The place has potential but will never make it!
May already be closed… Save your money and try one of the much better pricey restaurants on the strip!

I really do hate seeing restaurants struggle, especially the staff and this place failed on all fronts.
First of all my expectations where not too high to begin with after reading reviews here and some other places. But I needed a nice place to take my date for a Valentine dinner and I settled for BREATHE. I made a reservation on
and a hostess called me a day later to confirm my rez. During the call I even asked her if the new restaurant «blues’ had been resolved and she said «I believe they have been». Hmm, not too confident IMO. I mentioned to her that the date was special as it was the first Valentine dinner with my new girls and she claimed I would be very well taken care of.
For the record, this place is supposed to be upscale so I would expect something similar to at least Capital Grille in service and food quality. Given the prices are about the same too.
I arrive and we were seated immediately. Although we were seated in the middle of the room with my elbows touching the patron to my right and waiters bumping into on my left. It was so cramped that waiters were waiting for each other to clear the isle before they could serve food. No coat rack for my suit jacket either so it dragged on the floor of the back of my chair. Also, no black napkin offered even though I was in black slacks and dark shirt. So let the white lint fly!!!
We were offered water and a bread place (We still dont know what kind of bread it was, but we didn’t eat it. Not too tasty) and we placed our order for two glasses of wine. About 15 minuted later the wine arrived but it was not what we ordered, not even the right color. OK, no big deal they brought the right one, in about another 5 minutes and after about 5 apologies. Next we ordered the Portobello Mushroom stuffed with cheese appy. It came out in a reasonable amount of time and looked good and tasted good too.
(Side not; there were 3 different couples using their cell phones and one was even using video conference while in the dining room, pretty tacky if you ask me. And the restaurant manager should have asked the patrons to excuse themselves) Also, the restaurant was not at capacity.
Main course was ordered (Salmon with roasted potatoes $ 32 and the Scallops 3 colors $ 28).
Let me begin with the plates looked nice but both dishes were severely undercooked. The salmon was so raw it was inedible. My scallops were cold in the middle and raw and lacked flavor. The potatoes that came with the salmon were over cooked and the asparagus that was served with the scallops was the only thing that was cooked properly.
Food temperature is cooking 101 and it should never be an issue in a restaurant especially in a place that is supposed to be upscale.
My recommendation is DO NOT spend your money at this restaurant, there are plenty of better options for the money. There is nothing appealing or unique about this place that would make me want to go back.

The service was excellent despite being understaffed to handle a few larger groups that were in that evening. I wasn’t a fan of where we had been seated as well as the noise level in the restaurant. I think when designing restaurants they should put more effort into acoustics that take drunk volume into account.
The food was decent but I’m on the fence about a return visit. We started out with the grilled octopus which was cooked nicely. I had the scallops and my boyfriend had the salmon. The scallops were cooked perfectly and sweet. The salmon was over cooked on top but the bottom half was just right. Everything was good but I don’t know if the price matched up.
