    The vibe was fantastic as always—great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a lively setting that made the experience enjoyable. However, the food wasn’t as good this time compared to how it usually is, which was a bit disappointing. If you’re going for the ambiance, it’s a win, but the food didn’t quite meet expectations this visit.

    Crafted drinks are excellent! The meatloaf is the best I have ever tasted. The fig dessert was super good. Service was spot on. Table of 4 guys next to us were super loud and obnoxious but what can you do? Can’t wait to come back!

    Visited during restaurant week and had the best Waldorf salad I’ve ever tasted. My husband loved his Nashville chicken and my orange sorbet was a lovely finisher. The decor in this establishment is fantastic - 1930’s meets MCM meets the Sopranos. Got busy and the volume inside was pretty full-on. We had got chatting to a patron at the table beside us and mostly exchanged ideas through photos on our phone because we couldn’t hear one another! But you can’t do much about your fellow diners. Highly recommend this restaurant

    Drinks were good. Blood orange sorbet water delicious. I did not like the meat loaf. It was definitely overrated on the reviews. I will definitely go back to try something else.
