    Went to celebrate a birthday on a Thursday evening. Valet is validated but there is also a garage you can park in. Food is as good as I remembered almost 20 years ago! Menu is recognizable with some new items. Everything was on point and delicious. José was exceptional and the team was great. Carajillo was nice! Definitely an energetic vibe for celebrations or group gathering. Also romantic for dinner for two or chill solo dolo at the bar. Very welcoming place for all!

    This speakeasy is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance feels like stepping into another era. The music was exceptional—a perfect blend of live tunes and curated playlists that set the mood beautifully. It’s the kind of place where every beat feels intentional, adding to the charm of the experience. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they were doing. They made thoughtful recommendations and ensured everything felt seamless throughout the evening. The attention to detail—from the decor to the cocktail presentation—made the night unforgettable. If you’re looking for a hidden treasure with incredible vibes, outstanding service, and music that transports you, this place is a must-visit.
