Great atmosphere! Felt hip and cozy at the same time - reminded me of some fun places in London, especially with the beautiful Christmas decorations! The menu is not extensive, but everything we had was delicious and very well prepared. Not your average bar food - definitely elevated and fresh. Wait staff was friendly, professional, and helpful. Highly recommend!
