I think the waiter pays attention to social cues well. Simple things like giving us 3 minutes extra to look at the menu. To asking if we need a refill on drinks. The server felt presence but never overstepping. I can appreciate that skill especially in a busy and vibrant establishment.

Such a cute concept! The food was really excellent. Small bites that reminded me of a “high tea” vibe but with yummy cocktails instead. Though it’s not in an actual old train car, it is impressive how they create the ambiance of one. My only criticism would be that though there was Christmas music playing, it was very quiet and we could hear every word of conversations next to us. My wife and I said we would do this again though next year if there’s another menu to experience.
