    I did not eat there so couldn’t rate that section, but when I walked in at 4pm, I was told that the place was going to be packed soon. Well, I was there for little over an hour and the place was not packed. I also felt that it was a bit gloomy by the bar area. Perhaps some mkt lighting would help. Overall, the drinks were delicious. I would come back again to try the food.

    Wanted to love this place. The atmosphere was phenomenal but, the drinks fell short. I’m a huge craft cocktail person and so was everyone in my group but, it’s like each drink was missing an ingredient to tie it together.
