    Cozy and small venue with nice jazz trio that was excellent and provided great entertainment, Which merely became background noise and Everton conversed at there respective tables. Service was good and the food. I’d recommend the speakeasy as a place to hang and enjoy a cocktail while listening to some good jazz!

    The drinks were amazing and so fun! Only drawback is that a lot of young people come in thinking it’s a dive bar or stand around bar when it’s reservation only. Took away sometimes from the ambience. They could definitely use a host/hostess stand.

    Great food options. Drinks were good. The service was excellent. Our waitress was super sweet and the entire staff was very welcoming. I was on a first date and she toasted with us lol. We really enjoyed ourselves. The ambiance was perfect. We went on a Wednesday evening.
