Had a reservation and still waited over half an hour to be seated. Other people that came after us also got seated before. Other than that it was good.

The food was good, but the drinks were absolutely excellent! The ambiance was great and definitely a highlight of the experience. However, the parking situation was a bit ridiculous, which was frustrating. Also, the music wasn’t the best and could have been better suited to the vibe. Overall, I’d probably go back just for the drinks and atmosphere.

The food was ok but the service was something else. Our waitress kept trying to bring us the bill even though we had more beverages on the table. Very rude trying to kick us out all the time. I don’t think I would be back just for that.

My family and I had a joint family dinner after my husband and I’s wedding. Tik Toks of this restaurant made my mouth water and I’m so blessed the food is just as amazing as it looks. The staff were top tier, from the hostess who was just married in January (shoutout to the newlywed crew!) to our server Esther. I’ll definitely recommend this spot to friends. Thank you for making our wedding day end on a great note!
