Dotimi O. ★★★★★ : It is a very decent restaurant with a lounge and a club. Prices in the club are a bit on the high side but I had a great time. Downside is just the bad roaf but that's a general thing in GRA Benin "currently".

Sarah G. ★★★★★ : We order four barbecue fish and they were all burnt on one side,they have really nice milkshake though
Okiemute I. ★★★★★ : My experience at Confessions Lounge was honestly a mix of good and not so good. On the positive side, the ambience is beautiful. Warm lighting, nice décor, and a comfortable setting that makes you want to relax and enjoy your time. The food itself was also really good, and the staff member who attended to us was polite, patient, and handled our requests well. But my major issue was the waiting time. We had to wait 1 hour and 30 minutes before our food arrived. Another thing that didn’t sit well with me was being asked to move from the seat we originally picked because “a family of four might come in” and they felt the other seats might not be comfortable for them. We agreed and moved, only to find out later that it was unnecessary (we spent an extra 1 hour and 30 minutes there, and during that entire time, nobody sat in our original seat). Suggestion: It would help a lot if they had someone at the door whose job is to seat guests properly from the start. That would avoid situations like that awkward, unnecessary, and slightly embarrassing relocation.

Sharon U. ★★★★★ : Nice place. The staff were professional and friendly. They prepare your food fresh from scratch but the wait wasn't long. We sat and ate at Milk & honey for a while but later went down to the outdoor bar. A bottle of beer upstairs is 2x the price of the ones in the outdoor bar.
