    This was a birthday outing, and my second time here, I mostly enjoyed the night and overall service and hospitality was great - I had a big group of 12 and I would have preferred to be seated near the DJ area like I requested 1 week before my booking but I can understand the place was very busy and packed. Cost wise it’s an expensive place but that’s due to the proximity of location. The only negative experience was one of the security guards trying to enforce the 2 hour rule on my group after spending 1.7k - sometimes you need to use logic on when to do this and it was a late booking so there wasn’t anyone waiting for our table. Good birthday overall and would recommend to others.
