    Really cute place, but our table was right next to the speakers and we could barely hear each other talk. Drinks were good and service was excellent

    Absolutely love this place! It's really quite an experience to walk into a place that has been thoughtfully created around the acoustics. We got there early before it was too busy so we could really hear the clarity of the quality speakers, appreciate all the sound dampening, in the vibe was super cool. The food was clean and fresh. The clarified drinks were the perfect pairing with the clarity of sound in the space. And the curated playlist was "a thing". All songs I've never heard but kept wanting to know who is this because it's on it so good. Definitely recommend.

    Really cool space, surprisingly good drinks. The physical menu feels really low-budget for the experience. Would recommend having areas where dancing is acceptable - it’s such big space and the music is good!!

    Atmosphere was great. The DJ provides a vibey chill experience to pair with really great drinks. Drinks were mostly balanced and above all very creative and imaginative. Will definitely be back.

    Asked for a high top table that was accepted on OpenTable. This was for a birthday celebration and we got placed in the center of the room in a regular table. The ambience was great, but they gave as an excuse that the high tops were for parties of 4, which should’ve been clearly stated. Especially when written for a birthday celebration I would not like to be treated like a walk in.
