I had a pleasant dinner with my son. Although the place is far from where we live, it was worth the trip. The waitresses were extremely friendly and understanding that we were fasting and that when we requested for our food to be served at 6pm, they asked first it was already time to break our fast. They wanted to make sure that our meals and drinks were served hot.

This restaurant is really a bourbon bar which happens to do good food . If you like all things bourbon then I'd highly recommend it. A awesome range of bourbons, fantastic knowledge from the bar staff and a great range of cocktails not all bourbon related!

Ambience was great, food could have been better (the scrambled eggs were a bit too runny for me) and presentation could have been better as well. A lot of banging of plates and cutlery in the kitchen which was a little loud and distracting.
