Absolutely fabulous! We felt transported straight back to the 1920s. The atmosphere was incredible, full of charm and character. Our server was so friendly and charismatic, and their knowledge of the menu and recommendations made the experience even better. We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back. A true gem for a memorable night out!

Everything was great. It’s a dark/moody ambiance with good music. The food & drinks were very good. We got truffle fries, burrata, and carnitas tacos. We were just visiting from east coast for the weekend, but if we lived in the area we would go back. Lastly, everything was very reasonably priced and they had a good menu selection.

Another delicious meal last night! We had the soup special, which was so tasty and perfect for a chilly fall night. We split the prawns, carrots (which my friend said was the best she’s ever had) and a salad. We will be going back for another girls night soon!
