    Celebrated My Birthday Here Lastnight EVERYTHING Was A 10/10! Service, Food, Atmosphere, Hookah,Music It All Was Top Notch. Greeted On The Walk In, Lead To The Bar Until The Other Guest Dining with Us Arrived. We Were Able To Enjoy Some DELICIOUS Lychee Martinis & Appetizer for Happy Hour. The Bartender Was Extremely Pleasant,Fast & Attentive. Will Definitely Be Back.

    Very good asian/fusion kitchen. amazing price and very good spot for a friends night out, especially for the big space you can find. Music a bit too load for 8pm, even if was Saturday night. But we understood the vibe and contest, as well as the neighborhood. The frozen Peach Bellini was AMAZING. Truly the best I ever had and I felt also the other cocktail were very good. The kitchen is very interesting, Tasty and if you want you can also smoke Hooka! Kind of mix between a mid level restaurant and lounge vibe.
