Genuinely one of the coolest spots I’ve ever been to. Tried 3 cocktails off the menu and they were all amazing. Our favorite was the Virtue’s Vice. The theming is incredible and no details were spared. Both appetizers we got were fantastic, highly recommend the beef tartare and popcorn shrimp. I want to bring everyone I know here so I can go back a million times. Ryan made the ordering process seamless and easy to understand with such a creative menu. The scented hand towels were divine. Such a great experience!

Loved getting the little punch bowl for two of us to share a Swan Song. The drink was well-crafted and a nice night cap, perfectly balanced and herbal.
