   The place is way too loud to have a conversation. Otherwise, the experience was great.

   The upstairs bar is dark and loud, and the drinks were overpriced. You are expected to walk outside the building in order to get to the restaurant downstairs.

   Took 30 minutes to get drinks - couldn’t taste the tequila in my drink it was very weak to say the least. Disappointing experience definitely not worth the prices.

   Second time there and a second good visit. Drinks, food, and service helped us have a great night. Our server, Katia, was wonderful.

   Our young waitress did not know what she was doing nor did she care. How can a speakeasy NOT have a single ice cube to put in my rye whiskey????? Is that possible? And in what planet does our food ( such as it is) show up on our table but we have to ask 3 different people for cutlery to eat it with? And while I would have loved a second round, no one came around to ask if I want another drink. And by 9 pm we opted to leave because the music was so loud a conversation was impossible. Cute idea- terrible execution.

    Service was slow and didn’t seem really interested in explaining cocktails, never checked in and I had to get up to get the check after waiting a while
