    Always a great time. Great service and amazing drink menu from traditional to twists on traditional time drinks as well as an adventurous side to try new things.

    Did not have any food. Atmosphere was very cool as a speakeasy. Drinks overpriced and tasteless. Mai tai tasted more like mint. Orange drink was no where near a creamsicle and just tasted like foam. Not sure if will return

    Super disappointed in this experience. Do not go with a larger group! We specifically went last week to speak to the manager in person who promised we could have two reservations to total ten people and sit next to each other. We put clear comments in the note section. When we arrived the host knew nothing about our requests and we had to sit at two separate tables although there was space to sit together. The host said that he asked the manager, however when we saw the manager later he said he knew nothing about it and finally set us together. He admitted to not even looking at the notes. The bar was not full so we should have been able to be accommodated from the beginning. Staff in the past was fun and theatrical with the special drinks but tonight the server was not enthusiastic at all.

    Awesome place!! Went on a weekday night where it wasn’t so busy. Drinks are incredible, happy hour is nice! And the ambiance is so fun, with super cool bartenders. Will definitely come back!

    What a cool place! We loved the vibe, the drinks, and the food. The chicken kebab was excellent, and the pork was so tender, it was great. Drinks were inventive, delicious and strong. The service was good, there’s apparently a rule that you can only stay so long (I’m guessing 2 hours), but nobody told you that when you sit down. The staff couldn’t seat us at first because the people before us “stayed too long.” The table behind us seemed surprised and put off by the time limit when the server came up and said “I’m sorry but your time’s up, so here’s your check.” I’m not opposed to the policy, you just need to communicate that clearly upon sitting down. But overall we loved it, and we’ll be back!
