    Made reservations for my mother’s birthday. 🎉 Overall the food was good, our server was great and the setting was fantastic! My husband loved the oversized aquarium. The adult beverages were quite watered down, so if you want a good drink this isn’t the place. The prices were a bit high but I guess we are paying for the experience. It’s a great place for family and celebrations. If you like sea life I would definitely recommend.

    We had such an incredible night. It was my husband‘s birthday. They sat us in the VIP section, which was perfect. Our waiter Keaton was absolutely outstanding. He was super attentive, very quick, checked on us all the time. Make sure we were constantly drinking or eating something. He was fantastic. The energy, the vibes were absolutely everything. We will definitely be back.

    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.
