The concept is just lovely -- a speakeasy inside a beautiful historic bank building, and they've styled it so well. It has so much potential. A couple things threw me off and the main one was the lighting. It's way too bright and more corporate office than intimate speakeasy. Some warm, low lighting would make it feel magical. The food, though? Absolutely wonderful. We loved the creamy hummus, the tasty meatballs, and that brie, prosciutto, and arugula sandwich was divine -- easily one of the best I've had. Scordato really knows how to do small plates right. The drinks were the weaker spot for me. The bar felt a little overwhelmed, and we had some hiccups -- our espresso martinis were unavailable because the "espresso machine" wasnt working. We ordered something different, a spicy watermelon tequila concoction, and it was decent. The waitress said they had fixed the espresso machine but weren't allowing her to place drink orders now because the bar was so backed up. We got in line and after 30+mins placed our order. Turns out it was a Nespresso kpod machine acting up. The martini tasted mostly like strong espresso with not much else. I wanted a little buzz after two drinks, but it didn't happen. A couple more experienced bartenders and an extra busser would help so much. A few other things: I'd love more comfortable seating arranged a bit better, and the photo booths should probably go -- they feel more wedding than speakeasy. The performers are also tucked away in the corner, which is a shame. Oh, and the silverware is so heavy it's tricky to eat on your lap or a couch without dropping it constantly. They're genuinely so close to something special. With a few tweaks to the lighting, drinks, and flow, this place could be amazing. I really hope they make them -- I'd love to go back. read more
