    We truly loved the bourbon dinner experience. Very small minor critiques would be to serve the bourbon with the food so that you could pair them together. Maybe also a larger space so that the noise was not so loud. The tables were very crowded however it did make for getting to know your neighbors easy. Overall we would absolutely do this again and hope to do it again. Having the chef and all the people involved speak throughout the experience was cool. Please tell the cigar guy to stay for when the party is over as we wanted to buy five cigars but he was already gone. We love this space we love this idea these are simply things that would just make it over the top perfect. Servers did a good job serving from the left and clearing from the right but the utensil replacement was a little sloppy because the table was too packed. Servers were refilling water cups individually instead of filling the carafees with ice water that were already on the table. This is rather inefficient and resulted in no ice after the second/third course and beyond. The food was terrific overall but for a tasting dinner that had chef and sous chef gave pretty bleak descriptions of their creations overall. They could have done a lot better by explaining how great of a thing they just made but it seems like they didn't really know what to say when they got the microphone. We look forward to the next event. Overall it was a five-star experience and we had a terrific time enjoying the experience that you provided. We will be back.
