If you are looking to make a date night out a little extra special, this spot is the perfect choice! Throw back music with a charmingly intimate setting will bring a smile to your face for sure. The service was friendly and knowledgeable and the food was delicious. Don't forget the drinks! Fun names and an even better taste! They also have NA options which is a breath of fresh air. You still get to feel swanky and special like everyone else without breaking your sobriety to do so, Highly recommend!
