    While the cocktails we had were very good, the prices are a bit higher than other area cocktail venues. We did notice that in the room we sat in, located in the right rear of the building when looking from the street, my partner's booth style seat against the wall sat higher than the chair I sat in. While this did not cause a problem, not being eye to eye with your company is a little off-putting. Thank you for having a fine place of business, we would likely return again. We enjoyed ourselves.
