All the food and drinks were amazing, the bartender is knowledgeable on his drinks which is so nice! One thing to note is they charge a 22% tip, I like that they automatically do that but it doesn’t all go directly to the waiter so if you want to leave him more, well you’ll end up tipping more than 22% that’s completely optional though.
