So first time there, Saturday, January 25, 2025. My initial thought is, they have not been open very long, gotta work out some minor things. We enjoyed the atmosphere, as i stated it is energetic, but wasn't overwhelming, nicely done. I/we thought it was little on the expensive side. We would describe it as upscale bar food, a little high priced. I mean the prices for some of the meals were high and portion rather small. I had the skirt steak taco special, $30 and three rather small tacos, good, but small for $30 with no sides. One in our party had the skirt steak dinner, he said it was very good, but again, its skirt steak, $48. So our overall feelings were good, thing is theres a lot of competition in our area now, so you have to be on top of the game. Still, definitely check it out for yourself. Enjoy !!!

Our service was great, and the place is beautiful. The food was okay, and the drinks were good. I feel that in the summer, with the roof open and the garage doors open, it will be a great place to go. It was very noisy with all that closed. I will go back.

We sat for about 10 minutes before someone came over and it was the manager. A few servers had called off but overall service wasn’t great.

We were disappointed in this restaurant. The decor and atmosphere was very nice but the food was not real good. The noise level was so loud you had to shout just talking to the people at your table. If you just want somewhere to go for drinks only, this is the place.

The restaurant is very nice and laid back. The venue has an upscale ambiance, with a casual vibe. The menu is limited but tasty. The house drinks I tried was the Floradora, light enough to taste each ingredient and on point. I also tried the buffalo cauliflower bowl. Interesting, not fried, tasted unseasoned with buffalo sauce. I will go back again, in the summer, when the roof top opens.
