Great drinks and quick service. Waitress was attentive. High price point compared to other cocktail bars around town, but still worth it. Only real knock is they seated us 15 minutes past our reservation time.

The food and drinks were very tasty, service was good and I appreciate all the vegetarian options that were available! It was just my partner and I and we got a nice little table near the window, which we both enjoyed! It was our first time and will definitely be back. I got the Yule cocktail and mushroom sammy, he got fish and chips and a sour. A little bit expensive (about $70 before tip in total), but worth it for the quality and experience.

The sushi was really delicious! I had the fried rice, California crunch roll, and spiced brownie. Everything was wonderful and tasted delicious. They have a great drink menu and loved the drink of the day the bartender made. The staff was attentive and the inside of the restaurant was so nice on the inside. There is parking just to the side of the building, and my only issue was having a hard time finding the door at the beginning as it blends in well with the outside wall. But look for the menu if you're coming for the first time!
