    We loved the lounge style seating that could accommodate our group of 9 people comfortably. Service was prompt and friendly, and the food was delicious. Creative cocktails as well! Highly recommend checking it out, and wish we stuck around for the later night where it turns into dancing.

    Birthday reservation- The atmosphere was phenomenal, the drinks were probably the best I’ve ever had (dirty martini with gin & margarita). Food had a mixed review from the group. Some loved it, and some thought it was mediocre. There weren’t a ton of selections but we mainly went for the atmosphere and drinks and it did not disappoint. Make sure to take pics in the red hallway upon entry. We were disappointed we couldn’t go back and take pictures later on. We will definitely revisit! Booking was incredibly easy on OpenTable, and I thought it was a nice touch that someone even reached out via phone to confirm our reservation the day of.

    Finally made it to this place. The ambience is such a vibe. We were a bit bummed that food wasnt being served during our reservation. We came hungry! We were sat immediately at our table tho and staff was nice and the drinks were great. I would definitely recommend using Lyft/Uber. Will return.

    Overall experience was great! Great food, drinks and vibes. Our server was very nice. My only complaint is that she took my drink before I was done and didn’t offer to replace it, which was very much a bummer considering how pricey they are. Besides that my entire group enjoyed their time!
