    It was a nice place, mostly empty when we went. We expected dinner but it was only small bites. The pictures I saw on Open Table were old, they had none of the same things anymore so that was disappointing. We had to go somewhere else for food. That being said, the guacamole we had was good, the service was good.

    We attended the pop-up ugly Christmas sweater party. It was so much fun. The service was great and the whole place was decorated with festive lights and different motifs and Santa’s. Some of the drinks were served in really cute Santa mugs and other Christmasy themes, overall we loved it. Makes for a great girls night out.

    We were seated outside, the chairs were awkward and uncomfortable for our party of 4 (deep seats). Besides cocktails, we had the shrimp, pigs in a blanket, and deviled eggs which we thought was good.

    Everyone on the staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Great happy hour prices. Decor on the outside patio was a little under decorated compared to the inside.
