    We sat at the bar. We waited 15 minutes to even be greeted or get water. There were only 6 other people at the bar and 3 bartenders present. They were running around very busy and appeared to be working efficiently, so they must have been making drinks for room service or something. The drinks were quite intricate. There were a lot of steps including a pair of wings made out of lemon peel to garnish each drink. They weren’t made ahead of time and took a lot of time to craft. Perhaps they were short staffed. It was a little disappointing. I saw another group of people walk out who got tired of waiting to be greeted.

    $24 for a cocktail made with a gin recommended by the bartender . . . UPSELL much??? Getting food was especially slow on this visit. We had to take most of the primary food home in a box because we had to leave for a concert and the food took so long to arrive.

    Wait staff was outstanding. Bartender was incredibly impressive. Food was a little slow, but they were busy and we were not in a hurry. The food was well worth it!

    We had a “girlfriends” birthday celebration here. The venu was great - our server was really good (thanks, Luke!). It’s a very limited apps menu, but we found items that worked just fine for us. The unusual craft cocktail list is pretty awesome!

    The Aviator menu is too Asian-centric. Consider adding spinach and artichoke dip, beef or bison tips, etc.
