Booked same day for 8:30 and luckily we were able to snag a reservation! Got there early and we had to wait about 10 mins for our table. It’s a speakeasy. Dim lighting small space but we loved it. We were seated at the bar. The bartender was amazing! You can tell he was a perfectionist as everything was meticulously crafted. We enjoyed the drinks.
