    This place was not what we expected! We had in our heads a speakeasy, as it states, but it wasn’t as much. It is definitely worth a visit though for the experience. It’s more less “dinner and a show, or 3” than a speakeasy. We had dinner, watched a couple mini magic shows and then had the main magic show at the end. It was a great time and we also met some great people. I have to say, the hallway to the restroom was creepy. I say that only because, I’m not much on clowns and circus type stuff and that’s the vibe I got. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we enjoyed!

    Second time here. It’s a very unique experience. Love the underground speakeasy vibe. Magicians were great. Steak and sea bass were excellent. Butternut pasta disappointing. Nice to see everyone dressed up for a change. Definitely a great special occasion place.
