The mood, lighting and vibe set the tone for our night. Our waiter Micah had the absolute gift of gab, personality and patience. Meal wise, their salmon tasted like it was shipped direct, paired nicely with a world of flavors. However the steak missed the mark. I battled with my medium rare cut as sometimes life gifts you a lemon. Thankfully their “Aviation” specialty spirit lifted me up from the chew trenches. All-in-all, what a cool space and experience.
