    Great space for drinks & small bites. Lively atmosphere. No A/C, so on summer days when it’s steamy out, it feels the same way up top.

    We waited at our table for 30 minutes and no one came to greet us or take our order. I had to get up and go and ask someone could they help us and he rudely said the kitchen is closed (9pm) before I could even ask him anything. So I said we just wanna order drinks. The waitress came over 10 minutes later and took our drink orders. Everybody I interacted with was rude— except for the front door bouncer/security guy.

    Horrible, I will never go back. The food was pretty good, every bit as good as the dinner in my neighborhood. The woman who sat us was very sour. She never smiled or even looked at us. She fiddled with her cell phone the whole time. The photos show a beautiful fantasy of big colorful flowers but she escorted us into a plastic tent which was quite hot and and set up as lounge space. No table upon which to eat. There was something they considered music playing at a reasonable level until someone turned it up so loud that I could no longer chat with my friends. The entire experience was horrible. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Our actual server was quite nice, very friendly and attentive.

    I would of given it 0 stars if I could and if didn’t enjoy the food. The service was worst I have ever experienced. Mind you, I had reservations. Got to the table at 11:53am and didn’t see a waitress till 12:17 we were about to walk out. She finally came, got our drink and food order in…… we were never given water or and silverware. I had to ask the manager to bring some over to the table . then food came out before the drinks. But I will give them credit on the food, it’s not a big menu but it was delicious. Once again tho we were playing this waiting game, this time for our drinks. We got up to take pictures and they cleared the table didn’t ask if we were done. First time i didn’t give a tip and i have no regrets. Hey magic hr! DO BETTER. Oh it was my birthday and when I made the reservation I told them that. Don’t know why they ask cause you don’t get anything special, not even a lil card. Yeah F that place

    It was so hot in there that we couldn’t really focus on much else. We ordered food and our bouquet of mimosas…got our food and finished our waters and no drinks in sight….the two tables who ordered way after us got their bouquet of mimosas while we still were waiting. We finished our food with zero drinks as we asked someone who wasn’t our waitress for more water and they never showed back up. Our waitress never came to check on us or was even the one who eventually brought our drinks to us once they were ready. At that point we were already cutting it close to when we had to head out, had the drinks came on time we would have been good….we waited for our waitress to check on us so we could get the check…she never came so I had to go up to the register and have someone else ring me out.

    The food was underwhelming, the burger sliders was severely undercooked. It was like smashed ground meat, that fell apart as you bit into in. I was also concerned about the cleanliness of the glasses and the bar. The best part is the floral decor which was beautiful for photos.
