    Had an amazing time at this restaurant! The cocktails are great and well thought out! The grilled cheese and tomato bisque was delicious! My boyfriend stated that the hot chicken sandwich was tasty as well. The truffle fries were exquisite as well as the deviled eggs. We’ve all ready made plans to return with family when they visit!

    Food service was slow and our main dishes arrived cold. When we told the wait staff, they replaced everything and the second attempt was hot and timely. Otherwise, service was excellent. It is important to be aware of their alcohol service to dining there. It is very specific and highly restricted, but was quite good. We will go back.

    Visited on a Monday happy hour, which was very, very quiet. The drinks were stupendous, really great. And that is the main draw. Best whisky sour I ever had and the Thai concoction was very nice. The food menu is very small and what we had (steak frite and Nashville chicken) was adequate while dessert (bread pudding) was very good. But at HH 1/2 off everything, it was great value. Even at regular prices, the alcohol preparation was excellent. I would go back there with friends anytime for cocktails at full price. Recommended.

    Took some colleagues here after a conference, and it was a perfect place to unwind and start our evening. The cocktails were excellent, and their Charcuterie board was top notch!

    We booked an NYE dinner reservation at 6:45, when we arrived they told us the kitchen was closing and they’d only be able to do appetizers - even though it said online they closed at 9pm. Our initial server was quite rude and clearly didn’t want to be working on NYE, fortunately a bartender/manager stepped in to take over our order and he could’ve been nicer, he did a great job making sure we could order entrees and actually have dinner. The food was underwhelming and the atmosphere wasn’t great, wouldn’t go back there but props to the bartender who helped turn the night around.

    The whole thing was just really bad. The staff was friendly , but not timely. 20 minutes for a drink after ordering (whiskey on the rocks ), and there were probably 20 people in the building. I ordered the steak frites , I don’t even think it was steak, it looked like pork tenderloin. Cheapest cut of meat I’ve seen in my life. The steak was cold. Others in the party ordered the Caesar salad. The salads were dry, we asked for extra Caesar dressing. The 3 oz cups the dressing came in were 1/4 full. When we got the checks at the end, there was an automatic 20% gratuity added for “large parties”…. We had 5 people. (that’s fine , you should tip 20%) , but the server didn’t mention or say a word “hey gratuity is included “. The real icing on the cake though was they charged $2 per extra Caesar dressing, $2 for 4 pieces of crostini ( we ordered a charcuterie board for apps ) . All and all , after we left I got a $4 slice of pizza next door and it was 1000 times better

    Nice aesthetic bar. No complaints about service, bartenders were informative and friendly. Whiskey was disappointing tbh. Flight not worth the price. Cocktails seem to be the way to go here. We had the shishito peppers and fries. I wasn’t a fan of the peppers but my friend loved them. The fries were delicious
