Bar tables def don’t get the same service from bartender instead of a designated server. So be prepared if you’re super hungry lol to wait.

We were seated in a small room behind the bar because a large private party had booked the main room. Had we been seated in the main room we would not have been able to hear one another. The service was top-shelf (Crystal) and the food was creative and delicious. Only wish there were more than two duck preparations on the menu. Parking on 14th St was easier than expected.

Everything we tried was outstanding!!! The service was TOP! A little bit too noisy, it was quite challenging to maintain the conversation--maybe some noise reducer panels could help. But please keep up with the great food and service! :)

My girlfriend and I are in town for our anniversary. This came as a recommendation from our Airbnb host. So I figured we’d give it a shot. Food was great. Tricks were great. Service was amazing. We definitely come back.
