Went during their Christmas pop-up to celebrate my birthday. We were lucky enough to have snagged some early reservations. We really enjoyed all of the Christmas decorations and the great Christmas themed cocktails- too bad they ran out of the cool holiday cups for people to buy, so hopefully next year we can get there before they sell out of them. Our service was great and the food was fantastic! Enjoyed it. Will definitely return!
