The tuna ceviche was a can of tuna- had to send it back. The drink presentation is great but the drinks are medium. Food portions small and not great for what they cost. I wouldn’t go back but it was an ok experience.

Pretty tired to type out our experience but this is by far the worst service we’ve experienced in a while. They should focus on having better customer service experience rather than trying to get content pictures for instagram🤷🏼‍♀️

Some of the specialty cocktails are excellent. Others are good but not great. Tapas missed the mark, especially the crispy oyster mushroom that was very overcooked and had no flavour. Service was very poor - slow and awkward interactions. We were continuously reminded by the staff that there was a time limit on the table, despite us leaving before the 90 minutes.

Does not live up to the instagram hype. The drinks are poorly executed at best, gross at worst. Same goes for the limited menu of food.

Not impressed. They seem to be trying to make the bar hip and trendy but they are quite far from it. The room behind the bar smelled like puke, the lighting in that room was too bright for the type of vibe they are going for and overall the presentation of the drinks was good but the drinks themselves were not great and overpriced. I would not go back.

Half of the food items were not available on an already small menu which was disappointing. Drinks were great but their social media video makes the place look better than what it actually is.

We went to check out their live jazz nights on Saturday. The ambiance was nice and classy. For drinks, we ordered 2 cocktails, both of which tasted great and were well worth the wait. For food, we ordered the red garlic shrimp and crispy fungi. This, unfortunately, was when things went downhill. The shrimp, while ok tasting, came in such a tiny portion - only 6 pieces. As for the fungi, they were overcooked - almost burnt, and way too thin. We tasted more breading than the actual mushroom. On top of that, the food pricing does not live up to the value. I understand it's a bar and not a full-fledged restaurant, but charging $19 for 6 small pieces of shrimp doesn't make sense. Overall, the environment was nice and the drinks were tasty, but the pricing can't be justified for the food quality. We don't see ourselves coming back for those reasons.
