    This was an amazing experience! My wife and I decided to spend our 4 year anniversary here and they were more than fantastic! From the vibes of the space to the impeccable service, they continued to make us feel like royalty throughout the night! As a surprise for our anniversary they sent to the table a shot glass sprinkler fountain which was a huge highlight of the night! Thank you all so much! We will definitely be coming back!

    This was my second time attending Frank Sinatra Night on a Saturday, and once again, it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance is truly captivating—elegant, nostalgic, and thoughtfully curated. The staff’s hospitality stands out; they are warm, attentive, and make every guest feel welcome. I look forward to making this a regular tradition, returning every other month to enjoy the timeless music, expertly crafted cocktails, and premium cigars.

    Dinner was delicious and menu options interesting. I had the herbed cauliflower and would like to make it at home. My friend had the branzino with a delicious unique sauce. The wine list is heavy with the standard fare as well as an impressive range of European popular wines.
