We had mix palate of 10 people and overall they all liked but some who don’t like spicy couldn’t handle it and some were okay. Perfect spot for some Cocktails and shared dishes. Ambiance is a bit dingy, and outdated. I get the look and vibe it’s looking for but definitely can have a refresh. Hasn’t changed since I last been there 5 years ago.
