    We had a reservation for seven people for an important event, and this place was not open! We didn’t receive a call or an email, just showed up to a closed place. Not cool!

    Great place for drinks and a good vibe. A little on the loud side if you’re just trying to talk but the music is good and the sound system is solid. The interior is pretty dark and gets darker as the night goes on which makes for some nice mood lighting. The food menu is on the small side. I tried the potstickers and they were delicious but the sauce they came with was overwhelmingly spicy. If I hadn’t been trying to make a good impression I wouldn’t have minded sweating through it but not ideal for an intimate setting. The cocktails were all amazing. Complex but generally refreshing flavors. Would recommend if just for the vibe.

    Now under new management and ownership, will never go back. We made reservations online to sit at the bar. When we arrived, literally as the hostess was taking us to sit at the bar, two people moved from their table to the bar and the hostess did not move them. She said that she could not. I asked the GM why they could not move the people and he only gave blank stare. I informed him that we were long time patrons having gone there the first week of opening after COVID and that my experience was that "Robbie" (former Co-Owner who apparently is no longer there) would hold reservations for 15 minutes after the scheduled time (we were on time). His only response "Robbie is not here anymore and walked away". The sushi was stale. The potstickers were burned (hard like fortune cookies). The drinks were syrupy. We asked to speak to the GM again. He said that they have all new bartenders and staff... We will not go back or recommend others to patronize for their for service and disrespect.

    We had Mickey on her first day serving. It was my birthday and she provided excellent service. Great cocktails, timely service, perfect atmosphere. Would definitely recommend & we’ll be back!

    The vibe was amazing! This was my second visit and once again they did not disappoint. The drinks are creative, well crafted, and the fries were the perfect companion! The DJ had a dope set and although the musics was turned up, our table of 4 was able to have conversation without feeling drowned out. Highly recommend!

    The ambience and modern layout was great. The unique drink menu was also a pleasant surprise for me since I don't drink often. The waiter's drink recommendations were enjoyed by my date and I.
