“Can’t believe how aesthetically pleasing this place is! Music/vibe 10000/10 it’s the perfect spot to start your night for pre dinner drinks. Also our server was so friendly! I’d definitely recommend making a reservation and showing up a little early since there can be a bit of a wait.”
“Gorgeous spot! Every detail is meticulously thought out, from the vintage ad–style magazine menu to the deliciously crafted cocktails. The midcentury aesthetic carries through in such a fun way, right down to the bubble gum cigarettes they hand you with your check. It’s a true gem for date night or a night out with friends.”
“Ok so pearlbox I have to give it to them such a cutesy place I made my reservation thinking that happy hour goes through both floors of the establishment but it didn’t only at the bar on the 1st floor but that was fine the host was the sweetest and seated me at the bar while keeping a lookout for a table for me later in the evening 🙂↔️ the bartender was Lola she was just a darling dear the drinks were so good and I have to shout her out because she was so welcoming and I didn’t feel intimidated being solo at the bar. Now for my appetizer I had their truffle grilled cheese and it was sooo good definitely would recommend it to start. After having that a table opened up a little after and i requested their caviar service they didn’t have one of the types of caviar but i was really going for the experience so the dollar extra for the gold caviar didn’t matter to me and it was soooo worth it 10/10 on the caviar service I was treated so nice. I had their truffle grilled steak freits* with fries for my main course ok everything was good but the steak was a bit on the salty side it’s my fault for being shy and not wanting to send it back but it was cooked perfectly just salty. At the end when I got my bill I got some little goodies 🍬🍭from my waitress she was also just so nice all in all a time was had it was a calm, sweet, and mature vibe to the place great for solo date or romantic date”
“I think the inside is stunning. It’s beautifully decorated and quirky. I did not care for my Martini. It was pretty basic and not the best drink I’ve had. My friend ordered something else and it was mostly ice. They give candy which is cute, but it was $15. I think this place is overpriced but it’s a cute spot.”
“Ok so first, the place is definitely vibey and cute. It’s pretty cool there’s a few floors and it feels like a very exclusive place. However, I honestly just don’t understand why a drink so small costs almost $25, they taste like any other average drink you can get at a bar. Everything is ridiculously overpriced. The caviar set is nice in the sense that there’s a some variety, but how the hell is a few bread crumbs and toasts plus chips be $25 per person for that small?? So between 4 ppl, the whole set (u see in the picture) was basically $100. Like I could buy a whole feast with $100 outside or buying my own chips and bread and plates too. And BY THE WAY, there’s like a $40 minimum spending and the $25 per person is just the caviar set (bread + sauce) and not including the caviar. The sauce itself is also so small, I think they should’ve given each person a set of three instead of 4 people sharing three tiny bowls (it’s barely enough). That said, the food does taste good and the truffle fries are expensive but pretty good. Everything is “aesthetic”, though it’s really hard to hear someone across the table cuz it’s quite loud there, I feel like the seating placement is kinda awkward. The bill came out to be $400 between 4 ppl so :))) not including tax and tips. Anyways, this is like once a year for me so like whatever, but as a tip, before you bring friends to this place make sure everybody is on the same page about the pricing expectations. I personally don’t think it’s worth my money here but maybe if you’re on a date with someone special it’s fine. I just think you could enjoy a lot of other places and eat more for this price.”
