Vibes are cozy and upscale. The food was delicious, unfortunately some of the cocktails were a bit off/not to our liking, but the wine choices were fantastic and the waiter was quick to make a swap. The team at Jeans made my birthday party extra special with a champagne toast at the end of the night! Thanks all - can't wait to come back!

Drinks are excellent here. If you're looking for a very attractive bar with great service that you can get something light to eat, then this is a 5-star place! If you're looking for a dinner place, this is not for you - the menu for appetizers is excellent, for sandwiches good, and for entrees lacking.
