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!

Just a delight from start to finish: imaginative but blessedly NOT freaky drinks, delicious nibbles, charming and efficient service. A new go-to for us when we have visitors-- and when we don't.

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.

    2nd time to come from out of town and eat here. Tasty food. Ordering the Secret Cocktail was fun, both times resulting in a wonderful surprise. But be sure to request the same previous drink. Come. You’ll enjoy it.
