    Overall I like this place. Their mules are great but other drinks on the menu were just ok for me. Service was awesome and food was pretty good. It was also super loud which kinda made it hard to talk and everyone was shouting.

    While their food was good, it was a little overpriced. Additionally, and this is a personal preference, there wasn't a lot of plates that really stood out as something I wanted to eat.

    Perfect location if you're going to the Observatory for a concert. The pitcher of moscow mule we ordered was really weak on the alcohol, though. Other than that, everything else was great!

    The food was amazing. I had the BBQ meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes. My sister had chicken and waffles. We were still talking about how good it was the next day. The staff was so friendly and professional. You won't be sorry you made this your first stop before a show.

    Very noisy pretentious venue with fair food quality and well vodka. It's proximity to the observatory theater makes it seem more desirable than when one actually dines there The 10 minute grace for late arrival is ridiculous given the North Park parking situation.
