From the look of the shop outside you would never know there is an amazing cocktail bar inside! I love that you are seated next to the person you come with and across from a party you don't know so it fosters conversation (if you want). There is much thought and detail in the menu, and drinks were outstanding. We came after dinner, so didn't get to try food but will definitely be back and want to try the cookie skillet and many more fun drinks.

I got the extra dirty martini, which was really smooth, and I thought the drinks were reasonably priced. Our server was nice, although there were a few awkward moments throughout the night. We ordered ice cream and a cookie, and he told us they were out of spoons -- and it wasn't even 10 PM yet Initially, I thought it was a joke, but he was not joking, so we ended up eating the ice cream with forks. The table setup was also a little awkward. Some of our friends were sitting across from us on the couch, and it was pretty difficult to hear and have a conversation with them.

There is literally fun everywhere you look from the panda stuffed animal riding a tiger on the wall to the hilarious shrek pillow. Coming right when they open I was able to see these things that you would likely not see in the evening. But to be fair I came right when they opened since it is first come first serve. A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good. The ribs were all very meaty. It looks small but I was surprised how full I was after having it. Nice night of drinks and food.

The bartenders are more focused on each other and a few select customers. You genuinely have to wait for them to finish their conversations with each other and certain customers to receive any type of acknowledgment. The service is consistent every time I have spent time there. Oh and the onion rings are great too, if you can get the bartenders to stop talking to each other and bring out your food prior to it becoming cold!

The menu was super creative and the dark, hidden atmosphere made it feel like a really unique experience. That being said, after waiting over three hours and hearing so much hype about this place, I think my expectations were a little too high and it didn't completely live up to them. Still a cool bar and worth experiencing at least once, but I personally wouldn't wait that long again! Definitely recommend coming early if you want to check it out without spending half your night waiting.

This hidden gem in the back alleys of Boston will have you questioning your decisions!…read more After a little search we finally found Hecates layer! There was a two hour wait, so we put our name on the list around 730 and this wait was true to the time for a 930 seating This is like walking into an underground layer with candle lit tables. There are only about 10-15 tables, making this the perfect intimate date night or friends night out Big shout out to Jewel the bartender and the staff! We had bar seats, so we had all the action right in front of us. Drink after drink, she meticulously crafted each and every drink with passion and poise and the bar boy topped off waters like it was magic. I started off with the Night March which was a blend of Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple, Kuleana Hawaiian Agricole, and Ten to One rums, toasted coconut, jade oolong & caramelized pineapple soda, salted guava foam. Fused with carbonation, this gold sparkly drink was mesmerizing and very fruity and delicious. I loved the guava foam!! My wife got Snake oil which was vodka, gin, eucalyptus, buckwheat, cedar smoke and tobacco bitters. This drink was earthy and smoky with nodes of the forest The drinks were pretty strong, so we ordered the chips and dip which was spicy feta and crispy pita chips. It was not spicy but it was very good. We stayed about 2 hours, which flew by! A great time and I can't wait to come back. Oh and the menu has a secret feature!! Blacklight stories in every page!! Very interactive I love it!

The hospitality was unmatched. The entire @wink_and_nod experience was beautiful. The speakeasy is chic, the atmosphere is a vibe, the bathrooms were spotless, and the service was exceptional.

My birthday was noted on the reservation, but there was no acknowledgment of it when I arrived. I'm not expecting a grand celebration, but for a place with such a classy, trendy, upscale reputation, I expected a warmer welcome and at least some acknowledgment of the occasion. To me, service and hospitality are a huge part of the dining experience, and that initial welcome just didn't set the tone I was hoping for on my birthday. A heads-up if you're driving: there isn't parking immediately nearby, so expect to walk a little. Also, pay attention once you're on the street because GPS can be a little misleading when trying to locate the entrance. Thankfully, our server, Alexia was great! She was very kind, sweet, and attentive. I actually had to tell her myself that it was my birthday, and once she knew, she did what was necessary to acknowledge it and make the occasion feel a little more special. I really appreciated her for that. The food was good as well. I didn't end up trying any of their cocktails, which is unusual for me, especially during a birthday dinner. By that point, the overall experience just hadn't put me in the celebratory mood I had expected when I chose Yvonne's for the occasion. Maybe my expectations were higher because this was somewhere I'd wanted to visit for so long, but hospitality matters to me, especially at an establishment like this. Amanda helped turn things around, and the food was good, but the overall experience still left me disappointed. Will I come back? I'm honestly unsure.

Whattamelon Bae Perhaps not always on the menu, but if you're in the mood for an ice cold slurry of watermelon and vodka, lemon and rosemary, you're in luck. Finally, and of course, the vaunted mac and cheese should be on every human's bucket list. Gooey and garlic infused. Cozy, great drinks, great music, there's nothing not to like here.

First, hotel guests receive priority access, which is important because during peak hours it can be extremely difficult to get in. Second, there's something luxurious about enjoying a great night out and then simply taking the elevator back to your room. We arrived at 10:30 PM on an incredibly busy Saturday night, and despite the crowds, the staff handled our reservation, made well in advance, with professionalism and care. The DJ was fantastic and set the tone for a fun evening from the moment we arrived. This is definitely a place built for cocktails and late-night energy. The drinks were well crafted, the atmosphere was electric, and our server did a great job taking care of our table throughout the evening. If you're looking for a sophisticated speakeasy experience, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a lively, high-energy night with great cocktails and a fun crowd... Blind Duck delivers.

I ordered calamari and griddled cornbread (based on reading reviews) yeah I know too many carbs. And because I heard that the drinks are so good here, I wanted to try something, but I don't drink tequila. The bartender asked me if I liked coconut and made me what I think was a coconut lemonade drink which was delicious! And both dishes were really good too. Would be a great place to go with a group of friends for a nice evening out. And yes, I'd go there again when I'm in town.

The bathroom is also girl approved ;) Note: don't go with a big party, because it is impossible to have a conversation across the table.
