    Wonderful time celebrating my sister's Bachelorette! Cristal L was our server and so nice and attentive. The drinks were expensive but so worth the price. The drinks have fun trinkets and tasted amazing. The ambience and music of the restaurant was good. We didn't eat food there, we just went for drinks. We had reservations and were seated at our table immediately. The restaurant was so nice in letting us moving our reservation back (of course we did this with plenty of time to spare, not last minute). They also give you a 15 min grace period if you are running slightly behind.
