Excellent drinks, ambience and service. We were expecting a larger dinner menu. It’s more appetizers or tapas menu but food was good. Our bartender was exceptional. Highly recommend.

Incredibly nice and customer-focused staff. Three menu items not available, other food was mid, the couches and seats were oddly uncomfortable and the Japanese theme wasn’t obvious. Notwithstanding this, the experience with our friends was fine.

This speakeasy was such a great experience for a girls night out. The prices were not too bad and the portions were big enough to share.
