    Great service and good selection of wine. Ambience was great! Didn’t feel like the typical Minnesota bar. Very appropriate for date night.

    Love this place! Great cozy intimate vibe for a first date or five hundredth, or even with a group. Good food, wine and cocktails. Friendly and helpful staff. Always enjoy our visits.

    A great chic spot with an upscale ambience and the BEST charcuterie boards (huge selling point for me)!

    Something unique and out of our comfort zone. So enjoyable that I know we will return. Many diverse gluten free options including the best flourless tort I have ever had.

    Nice place! Order the combo charcuterie platter. The presentation alone is worth the price! A work of art! We also had the ceviche, spicy and very good!

    The wine list is nice and the red snapper ceviche was delicious, but it's way too dark inside to really enjoy the experience. I get that it's supposed to be like a speakeasy, but didn't love the atmosphere.

    The charcuterie and cheese combo board was outstanding! Per other reviews, the service wasn’t great. They were (seemingly intentionally) understaffed and the one guy there didn’t seem to really care. The atmosphere was great. The Korean meatballs were spicy and had a nice flavor, but very dry. The gin fizz was fantastic, but the other cocktails that we ordered were underwhelming (don’t order the house red).

    Poor service, the wait staff seemed to do a good job of avoiding my husband and I. We've since learned this is normal. Expensive for the quality of food and the drink menu wasn't great. We wanted to love this place but just couldn't.

    Went with my husband for a date night. Was so pleased with the ambiance of this cute little gem. Very romantic with cozy booth seating. Great service. Limited menu. More for appetizers than a meal but great meat and cheese platter. Highly recommend for a group for drinks.
