    The large selection of vegetarian options is so great. Service might have been considered slow, but allowed for uninterrupted conversation.

    I have been to the new location a handful of times and it’s an amazing experience. The cocktails are spectacular and the food is delicious. The only downfall I have is how difficult it is to get into now. For two people on a weekday, you need a reservation. If you don’t have a reservation, they make you feel less than desirable. If you do have a reservation, they tell you that you need to be out by a certain time. The old location was comfortable, welcoming and reliable. I won’t stop coming because the drinks and food are fabulous, however I hope that they get their occupancy under control.
