   This is a hidden gem!! Quaint but cool place to hang out (inside or out). The Salmon dish was one of the best I have ever had. We had several fun drinks and there was an amazing DJ, his music mix was so creative and sent out a positive vibe. Great music and food, but there was no crowd, but there should have been! Drinks were fun and creative!

   High praise is beautiful and we got to experience the Secret Garden room which was great. An amazing duo was playing R&B. However, their kitchen has apparently been closed for a month and they only offer a few snack options. The real food menu is still online everywhere so we were planning on ordering real food so that was a real let down for my friends birthday. Drinks were okay but kind of small for price. Overall we liked the ambience so much we’d possibly come back.

   Excellent service. Validated parking downtown is unheard of and valued. Great drinks and love the food menu diversity! The entire experience is just fun.

   Place is really nice, has potential but bar tenders are suuuper slow and it took over 45 min for the waiters to get our tab correct… we even got a hold of the manager and he did not care much.

   The ambiance was fantastic, with evident thought put into every detail. The bull experience was unique and definitely one for the bucket list. However, they seemed significantly understaffed, resulting in long waits for food and drinks, and even then, the order was incorrect.

   The holiday drinks were overpriced and tasted like juice, and the tables were wayyyyy too low and it became uncomfortable.. music was wayyyyyyyy too loud.. I couldn't even hear anyone talk.. definitely overrated. We just ended up going to the other bar downstairs in the hotel that had better drinks and we could hear each other.

   A bit out of the way ans no parking. Facing bad area of DownTown. Service ans drinks aren't up to par for this place. Overpriced and staff seems a bit off.

    Good seating options, friendly wait staff, however they need more help -service was slow. For early evening (4:30) on a Sunday, it shouldn't take 25 minutes for a drink to arrive, and then one of them was wrong. Accommodations to the bill was taken care of easily and withouthesitation. This place has potential.
