    The place looks good, and the policy change so that you can book tables for two people is welcome. However, once you book a table and they find your reservation, you will be waiting for a while before anyone takes your order. It would have been quicker to go to the bar. I don't think customer service is high on their list of priorities. We won't be back.

    First time at Second Story, outstanding refurbishment of the old space. Two bars, great seating areas and lively crowd. A little noisy to talk but great music and DJ so it balances out. Highly recommend.

    Second Story served my husband probably the best martini he has ever had. The Duke Martini refers to a signature drink at Duke's Bar in London. Frozen glass, frozen No.3 Gin, lemon - perfect. I enjoyed both the expresso martini and the Nothin's But A G Thang - Bourbon, ginger, honey - so good!!! We will be back!

    Came on a Friday night, it’s a beautiful bar but the lack of food/snack options is not great. The cocktails were just ok, for the price I expect more. Waitresses could use better training on alcohol service. I like the idea/concept of this bar but the execution is lacking.
