Not the first time at the Violet Hour-best cocktails I've had in my life. Service was top notch as always. Wish there was a bit more food but the drinks are the main focus. Pricey but sooo worth it if you enjoy fine crafted beverages.

The pot roast and potatoes meal was too salty and not appetizing. I would recommend friends for the drinks and ambience.
