It was wonderful experience. We went to celebrate my friends birthday! We enjoyed a lot talking and exploring the place, without our phones. Wish there were some appetizers. Didn’t mean to give 1 star for the food but it didn’t let me go through. Also i understand the concept of no food and only drinks. Definitely will come back
