Wait staff were great (we were there on Halloween) - funny, informative and attentive. Great drinks and food. Atmosphere was perfect for a work or social event. Appreciate the attention to detail from the moment we arrived. Would definitely go back.

Craft Bar Kamon exceeded expectations! We decided on a speakeasy because we were celebrating a 21st birthday and wanted to treat the birthday girl to a more upscale experience. As we arrived, the door to the bar was completely hidden, so off the bat we had fun experiencing the hidden door opening. We were greeted with smiles and sat down at a comfortable table for 6. Shortly after we sat down, we were asked if we were open to moving to a private area toward the back of the bar. That set the mood for our entire night. We were led to a private room that was set up like a gorgeous living room with a record player and comfortable couch. It was the perfect setting to listen to music, dance and have conversations. Our server Amadeus was knowledgeable, fun, with a great personality, kind and attentive. I ordered based on Amadeus's recs: two gin based martini's (I'm not a martini person), Amadeus recommended I start with the Daikon Kobu Martini and then move on to the Perfect Sake Martini. They were both so good! From now on, I will only order Martini's at Craft Bar Kamon!! Definitely recommend and if you're lucky enough to get Amadeus as your server, you'll have a wonderful time!

This was one of our favorite speakeasies we’ve been to. I love the secret entrance, the tiki ambiance and the Hawaiian food. There was plenty of space at each table (despite the area itself being quaint) and it was quiet/easy to have a conversation the day we went. It would be a great date place and in fact several of the other couples we saw there were on dates. We’ll definitely go again!

My wife and I had a very good experience there. We had drinks only. The menu was good but we were there to have a drink and take in the views. I will recommend the Top of the Hyatt.

Anigma is an exceptional experience from start to finish! The service is excellent, and the staff truly goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is elegant and classy, yet unique and interesting. The food is fantastic, and every drink is prepared to perfection. A wonderful combination of outstanding service, beautiful surroundings, and great food and cocktails. Highly recommend!

We visited the speakeasy before dinner and it was one of our favorite parts of the experience. My hard-to-please husband said that the mezcal cocktail was one of the best he’s ever had. As for the restaurant, service and food were great! Our favorite was the pulpo, which was prepared table side by our server! It was a work of art.
