    Everything great overall. Crowd noise a little loud vs music and when trying to converse. Have to yell.

    Nicely decorated with pleasing atmosphere. Service was poor at best. The server was pleasant but very slow and took a long time to check in with us to see if we needed anything, which we did. Food was below average. Drinks were extremely disappointing with 2 different drinks being sent back because they were that bad. Overall, very disappointing experience.

    I loved everything about the place. Popcorns were my favourite for food items and all the Whiskey cocktails were amazing. The ambience is perfect for a date with dim lights and classy decor.

    Food was good, but the really winner is the cocktails (they were amazing!). We went when the kitchen was taken over by Hush - get the tacos and chips/dip!
