Confused by the great reviews. My cocktail and my partner’s beer were terrible. Music was a little too loud and didn’t fit the space. Bartender was very nice. Restaurant upstairs looks awesome though!

Our service was excellent by Lara! Food was also spectacular: oysters, Brussel sprouts, steak, crab stuffed flounder, and Carmel dessert!

We had an absolute amazing experience! I think his name was Avery, he was our bartender at the bar. He greeted us with a smile and made us feel so special from the moment we sat down. Our drinks were delicious! He was so friendly, so kind and made our night memorable. You can tell he loves crafting cocktails! We will definitely be back because of the excellent service! Thank you!

Loud, packed, not really a speakeasy. The bartender didn't acknowledge me so after standing at the bar for about 5 minutes, I ended up leaving. He seemed overwhelmed and likely needed another bartender to help.
