“Henry, our bartender was absolutely wonderful and fabulous. He was attentive and we had a difficult person with us and he was absolutely amazing and made her a fabulous, delicious drink that she actually enjoyed. We were at 4 other bars before this one and Henry was the only one to deliver! Make sure you stop by and check him and the spot out!”
“Came here for Valentine’s Day with a reservation, thanks to my partner. And I could not stop complimenting her choice all night! This place is phenomenal. We had a few of the strawberry espresso martinis because they were just so good. We shared the Brussel sprouts, the French onion egg rolls and the calamari. Everything was delicious but the EGG ROLLS are a 10/10. We also shared the cookie lava cake and we also highly recommend that. Our server, Jess, not only gave us amazing service but GREAT recommendations. 10/10 all around!”
“Atmosphere was great, super chill and perfect for a casual night out. Callie, I hope I got her name right, did a wonderful job. She was working as both the bartender and our server and handled everything so smoothly. You could tell she was busy but still stayed friendly and attentive the whole time. The drinks were amazing too. Definitely a good spot for casual drinks with friends. Unfortunately, the steak wasn’t our favorite. Me and my girls all ordered it and it was very hard to chew (cooked medium) and could have used more seasoning :/ That said, the fries that came with it were amazinggg. Overall, I would definitely come back for the drinks and the vibe.”
“Our waitress (I think her name was Grace) was great. She did her best with what she was given. This bar has 0 help. It was 2 girls taking care of the whole place and then there were 2 bartenders. She was kind and attentive. Food took forever but in the end it was better than what we expected and they were great portions too. We ordered the bang bang shrimp, Cesar salad, short rib tacos, cheesesteak egg rolls, and the truffle Mac and cheese. The worst part of the night was the $47 bottle of wine we ordered. When you google it, it goes for $8-10…. I mean come on 😭 I understand upselling, but don’t try to sell yourself as a classy bar when you’re selling $8 bottle of wines. I can only imagine which bottle of wine is the one on the menu that goes for $100. We came for the Christmas decor and happy we tried this place, but probably won’t be back.”
“I loved how intimate it was & the decorations for Valentine’s Day, however, our waitress was clearly under the weather (coughing & sniffling everywhere). The next day both my significant other & myself started exhibiting symptoms of a cold & I was coughing so hard I threw up. Granted we could’ve gotten sick from anywhere but I can’t help to wonder if it came from the waitress that tended to us (no she didn’t wear a mask either). Beautiful place but keep your workers home if they’re sick.”
