    This is a hidden gym off an alley in retro row. Make a reservation and don't go as a walk up. It is an amazing experience! The music, the vibes, the drinks, the staff are all on point. Keep in mind once making a reservation be sure to get there on time and make sure your whole party is there because the clock starts ticking. You only get your seat for an hour and a half.

    This visit didn't include food. The Monochrome continues to be a fave. The staff are courteous, accommodating, and professional.

    Flavorful apps, great drinks and awesome ambiance. Not to mention the 90’s hip hop seals the deal!

    We made reservations for Tokyo Noir for a birthday date night and it did not disappoint. The bartenders were fun to watch; mastering their craft and making stylish and exotic drinks. The food was creative (corn dogs and wasabi fries) and delicious and the service and ambience were cultivated into a special, Japanese inspired experience. I would suggest to anyone going on the weekend to Uber, as we spent 30 minutes looking for parking, but it was well worth it for this exciting experience.

    It’s always fun to go through the mystery of finding a speakeasy. However, this place is waaaaaaaay more hype than justified. Scored 11pm reservations a week prior for a Saturday night seating. Arrived at 10:50pm. We waited for nearly 20 minutes outside in the cold until they could seat us. Once seated, we ordered wasabi fries and grilled squid. Both came in about 10-15 minutes and were cold. Waited an additional 20 minutes for our cocktails. For the price point of dishes ($9 each) and drinks ($17 and $22), this place blew the wallet but not our palettes. Worth a try just to know. Don’t need to come by again.

    Had such a great time here. Appreciate the vibe where they’ll talk to you at the bar and the drinks were delicious. Great selection. Great flavors. Will definitely be back!
