    What an absolute joke. We have been repeat customers and live across the street. I cannot believe what just took place. We paid $150 per person x 4 people for the New Year’s Eve event. $600 just to get in the door. This cover charge got us absolutely nothing. “Oh, it’s to give you party favors (a tiny plate of olives crackers and cheese). We have been huge proponents of this place trying to get all of our friends to go. Never again. This was advertised as a prepaid event - we thought this would actually cover SOMETHING. nope. We still paid for everything inside. On top of that, there was absolutely nothing special about this event beyond the typical night. We just spent over $1,000 to be at this place for about 90 minutes and have a horrible experience. I loved this place, but this NYE experience just ruined it forever. This cover charge was so unjustified. This place was not different than any other night, and there certainly wasn’t any sort of line to get in. our server even told us to our faces that the cover charge was supposed to cover our drinks, but not enough people booked it. So therefore we got stuck paying the cover charge plus the total cost of our drinks. This is so frustrating given we live right across the street and loved this place. This is the most I’ve felt scammed in my entire life and there’s no way I could ever return here.

    We enjoyed the experience, but were shocked when we got the bill that charged a tax on the tickets (even though the notice said that taxes were included in the price). They also tried to charge a $72 gratuity on the tickets--that's like charging a gratuity on a cover charge. They removed the gratuity and allowed us to change it, but we weren't happy that they tried to slip it past us to begin with. Having said that, we've been here before and enjoyed the ambience.

    Overall, our experience was pretty good! The food & drinks were okay and were very over priced. The ambience of the Christmas vibes were really amazing. The only thing that my friends and I were slightly annoyed about a $10 cover but really online their website and OpenTable It states that it’s $5. Which is fine, but if you’re gonna do things like that, it should be accurate pricing and you should make that information more visible to people when booking reservations because that wasn’t the case.

    Dear Autumn, Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the Christmas ambiance and had an overall good experience. We appreciate your input about the pricing and cover charge discrepancy. Your concerns are noted, and we’ll work to ensure clearer and more accurate communication for our guests in the future.

    The decor and the vibe are what you experience first and they were fabulous! Then the staff pay attention to detail and have great recommendations. The cocktails were delightful and when the live music started it sealed the deal. I will definitely be back.

    The servers were really nice but they were definitely understaffed. The restaurant is beautiful and I have really high hopes for it but they have a few kinks to work out. I was also very disappointed with the real food menu / options available to us. They couldn't sit us until after our reservation so by the time we sat down we have 3 options to chose from, two of which were foods I couldn't eat. Drinks were good though and the live music was entertaining.

    Don't tell your friends. Our understanding was that this was an exclusive speakeasy with a dress code and preference for people who make reservations and intend to be regular patrons. No dress code, guys wearing hoodies and Nikes at the bar, people who looked like they just walked out of a barn. Really underwhelming. Also, we got there 5 minutes early but they refuse to let us in until we actually had our 8:00 p.m. reservation. Really stupid.
