Service was excellent. Cocktails were super delicious. Ambiance was cozy. However the yurt which offers the full experience was tiny, so we were outside on a couch. There is a fire-pit and its nice but you are outside in the cold… which is just fine, I just wish we would have known that from the reservation.

I am obsessssssed with the bartender that was serving us, Darren. He was an angel sent from above. Just an overall incredible human being. I can confidently say that I have never experienced service like his in my entire life. 10/10 will be back every weekend. The food was great as always, music was on point and the energy was radiant.
