    Solid take on what a craft Thai-inspired cocktail bar should be. Cocktails were incredibly thoughtful, balanced, and doesn’t necessarily break the bank from a dollar-value standpoint. The food was all around very thought through, elevated bar style food. Probably the best hotdog I’ve ever had in my life outside from a Costco hotdog, Costco is the Mecca.

    Had a good breakfast.....staff was great, loved the decor. With maybe a few little tweaks , the food wouldn't be good , it would be outstanding! A little more seasoning would have helped, but their donut holes and the breakfast sandwich were great. I would definitely go back. Give them a try!
