    Great cocktails. Great food. Often you only get one but PR delivered on both. The ambience is great. Although the music was a titch loud. And our server Charmaine was fantastic. A mixture of knowlefgable friendly and teasing. We will be back

    I was there for the third time and everything was top notch, I felt at home in Ukraine. Everything was delicious. Stylish, from the interior design to the serving of cocktails and food. And good staff!!! Thank you so much ❤️

    Our first waitress (brown straight hair) didn't care if we lived or died--our "service" didn't include a single smile or a standard introduction. She seemed bothered to have us from the moment we were sat, to be transparent. She was also very condescending to both myself and my friend when ordering. She was noticeably quite rude and it impacted our experience. It was very disappointing. We both have been several times to Prickett Richard and it's become a favourite stop until last night. Shockingly, we had better service and ambiance at Earls earlier in the evening. - Seemed to be an all female bar team--neither of them payed us much attention when we moved to the bar to get away from the waitress we originally had - A male team member provided two complimentary shots when we asked to move which was appreciated. He was our nicest interaction with staff last night - Oysters were unbelievably salty, which was very out of the ordinary - Music choice was exceptionally louder and more rap heavy than what seemed to be our normal experience here - Our usual drinks did not taste the same, lady lazarus was very, very spicy and my friends drink also seemed to have ratios a bit off because it was unusually bitter. Nobody checked with us about them. We paid our $88 tab and left as soon as we could, with our drinks obviously full. Again, nobody checked about our experience when we finally paid.

    Food and drinks were good. Music was definitely not what we expected on a Friday night, it was a lot of rap. It was extremely loud as well

    The cocktail list was long & the selection of drinks were unique! Oysters were delicious & came out quick as well. Super fun place, great late night vibe. Only reason I did not leave a 5 star review & maybe its a one off, or she was having a bad day, but the server did not seem the slightest bit interested in our table, & did not look like she enjoyed her job. The interactions were short, & when I wanted a drink that they were out of, she did not recommend anything, just kind of stared at me waiting for me to pick a new drink. It was my 30th b-day celebration, she could not care less about us as guests.

    My partners and I tried this place for the first time and we are OBSESSED. Definitely going to be our new favourite date night spot. If you want a quiet place, this is not for you. If you love hiphop and chill, intimate vibes, this a place you 100% have to check out!

    I really like the bartender he was excellent. I think the atmosphere is amazing for a date or something, but I found I was yelling all night and although I like the dark atmosphere, it was a bit too dark. I couldn't even read the menu.
