La' Shukran lived up to the hype. We went for an early dinner at 5:15pm so that it would be easier with our 1-month-old baby. Accessibility for those with infants: there is a long staircase to get up to the restaurant. We were aware of this before we got there. We were able to carry the stroller up the stairs, and the restaurant stored it for us during dinner and we kept the baby in the car seat at our table. They gave us a nice corner booth which was perfect for having the baby at dinner. The music was really loud in the restaurant, which was actually a good thing for our baby (kinda acted like white noise). Cocktails: I loved the Mish Mish cocktail. It was a great tequila based drink with a lot of flavor. Food menu: We tried dishes from most sections of the menu. Our favorites included the Basturma Rabbit Shawarma, whole fried Quail, and Haswei fried rice. The dishes were creative and fresh. We really liked everything we tried. Our one critique was that the Maryland Crab labneh was barely crabby at all. If I didn't know it had crab, I wouldn't have been able to tell. Everything else was phenomenal. And I loved the financier dessert and lemon Madelines. The fresh sourdough bread was amazing. Service: Excellent service! Our waiter was kind and welcoming. The food came out very promptly. The dessert took longer but it was because they were baking the madelines fresh. The manager brought us baklava as an extra dessert due to the wait (without us even saying anything). Great experience! Highly recommend! I would definitely go back again.
I really wanted this to be a 5-star experience. The food was stunning. The ambience is lovely. The service, however, really lacked. If I'm honest, 4 stars is pretty generous. We waited over 20 min between courses and no one updated us proactively. I asked once and was told they were checking on it. The second time they said they lost the ticket and were firing a new one. I could tell they were stressed - I think the people sitting next to us (who arrived over 20 min after us) accidentally got our entree. I have had this happen as a server and a solid apology goes a long way. Luckily the fish was perfect and we quite literally cleaned every plate. I will put this spot on my list to return but I'm wary about the service.
Five stars, no notes, perfect birthday dinner. Every dish was brilliant: escargot on hummus, light crispy sweetbreads, chilled melon with tahini sauce, grilled t-bone lamb cooked to absolute perfection. Finished with a traditional knafeh for dessert and took home peanut baklawa in a pretty La Shukran tin home. Our server Abby was friendly, helped us choose between items we couldn't decide on, and was attentive throughout. Cozy, hip chill vibe inside with an outdoor rooftop patio outside. Walked by the front door at first, so look for a big green door with a stainglass window in the alley behind Yellow. Will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu.
Highly rated for a reason! The restaurant is small so reservations book fast. You have to plan in advance but rooftop reservations open a week prior (rain or shine). I've visited twice and the food is amazing! Must try: BBQ Maitake and Soujek dumplings Service varies. The second time we felt rushed (the waiter kept interrupting to rush our order) and then kept pushing us to order more food but it was enough for us. Overall great restaurant, but expect to be rushed on weekends or prime dinner hours.
I came here for a very hard fought reservation and it was well worth it! The beverages were so unique and the food was delicious. It was so much fun to try this flavor of fusion. It is quite a small place so it makes sense that it would fill up quickly. Finding it was also very confusing too. We had to go behind in an alley and go up the stairs. My friends and I shared a few appetizers and then got our own food. We shared the fries and falafel, which were great. I got the escargot hummus and my friends got other dishes. We loved our dishes although they weren't very vegetarian friendly, which makes sense. I would come back here again, although there are other Mediterranean places in the city I favor more than this one.
Wow literally every dish was a 10/10. I was a little intimidated by the menu before we got here but just trust the process and order a bunch of different things and you won't be disappointed! The interior is so beautiful and every element makes you feel like you've been transported outside of DC I got the fulfill for my Cocktail, which is a gin based cocktail at the recommendation of our waiter, who said it was a best seller for a reason and I absolutely loved it. It's extremely well, balanced, and easily suitable and really complimented all the food that we were eating as well. There were four of us signing, and we decided to just split a bunch of stuff starting with the falafel, and the batata frites, as well as the lamb fried rice, the la'Shukran salad, the dumplings, the smoky escargot, the BBQ maitake, and finally the grilled lamb. Literally everything was so good. We finished with the knafeh which was a great cap on a fantastic evening.
La Shukran delivered from start to finish. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. We had a reservation but there was a short wait, so the hostess directed us to the bar. When we were finally seated, we found out our drinks had been comped. Such a thoughtful touch! We started with the BBQ'd Maitake spread which was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. It was served with French baguettes. We also had the lamb sausage dumplings, which were absolutely delicious. I had the Rumaan to drink which paired perfectly, and for my main, the slow grilled lamb. All were outstanding. I closed out with the Filfil cocktail and chocolate macarons, which were the perfect ending. The food was flavorful and consistently top tier, the vibe was great, and the service was truly one of a kind. Warm, attentive, and genuinely memorable. Five stars without hesitation!!!
Most certainly one of the best restaurants in DC, with amazing vibes. Hidden upstairs off an alley in Union Market La' Shukran is my favorite of the restaurant group's restaurants. Yes Yellow is cheaper and Albi is more refined and Michelin starred, but this experience is the most fun! The cocktail list is outstanding without a single bad cocktail. The salad is great, the foie gras donut is a real winner, and every dish just really hits. Lamb tartare out of this world! The service is fun, the vibes are great - always nice to have Kanufeh at the end!
A hidden (quite literally), moody, and intimate middle eastern bar & bistro, tucked in an alley at Union Market! Another Chef Rafidi restaurant, everything remains consistent - from just simply vibes to serving the best bread & hummus and lamb dishes. I was particularly surprised by the Falafel Jibne, the Wagyu NY Strip Kebab, Triple Cooked Batata Frites, and the Hashwei Fried Rice! Falafel Jibne - Had the perfect crispy shell met with a spiced patty, and I loved the dill yogurt paired with it Wagyu NY Strip Kebab - Was SO so juicy and it literally melted in my mouth. Didn't think I'd taste Wagyu like this in a long time Triple Cooked Batata Frites - I was OBSESSED with how the frites had a sweet and savory element. The frites were lightly coated with almost cinnamon sugar-like spice, and was the perfect crispiness Hashwei Fried Rice - I enjoyed the slightly crispy, spiced rice, a lovely blend of texture and flavor Unfortunately the Soujek Dumplings and Knafeh were the ones that fell short for me. The Soujek Dumplings just tasted like any normal dumpling I've had, and the Knafeh, though the very same dessert served at Albi, I didn't like how there was more cheese than dough here.
If you've tried Albi or Yellow, then this is right up your alley...literally (the restaurant is in an alley). Reservations do go quickly so you have to be on top of it when they open. I loved the swanky hip dark bar vibes and the fun cocktails they offered on the menu. Highly recommend trying their drinms, we really liked their cocktails, especially the Clarified Al Enab. It's a more savory mocktail that smelled (and slightly) tasted like roasted peanuts. I'm honestly vexed how they managed to achieve that All the dishes are family style and were shared with everyone! We really liked the falafel jibne, which had a crispy exterior with a moist filling...falafel usually is way too dry but this made me realize what good falafel tastes like! I really loved the triple cooked batata - YUM! Love when a potato is super crispy on the outside and perfectly fluffy on the inside. You cannot skip on the Hashwei fried rice - it was my favorite dish of the night! The crispiness of the rice in each bite had me going back for more. I could eat an entire bowl of this by itself. Other notable mentions: the escargot hummus, soujek dumplings, and the two protein dishes: the Freedom Run Lamb Loin and the Wagyu NY Strip were cooked to perfection. Service was very attentive and food came out in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend checking out this restaurant and giving it a go!
I had previously been here just for outdoor cocktail bar that is a more limited menu and this time came for dinner. The dinner was excellent we got escargot, falafel, tuna carpacci, and lamb dumplings. Escargot was delicious rich and savory paired with some freshly baked bread. It has a great rich flavor from the butter. The savory flavors punch through from the snails. Falafel is like a mazzarela stick but the coating is falafel. Very rich but perfectly paired with the savory taste of the fish on top with falafel. Tuna was very flavorful with oils that has citrus plus the puffed frekha adds a nice texture. Lamb dumplings are excellent and stole the show. It has fantastic broth that brings everything together. We also got the french fries which are excellent. For dessert we got cake that has honey and ice cream on it. It was decadent and the perfect palette cleanser. Service here is incredible so nice and attentive. And they really help guide you through the menu and pace it well. Inside it's one of the few places you can go that feels like you been transported to somewhere different. It's beautiful inside. Just remember the entrance is in the alley behind yellow gps won't guide you there exactly.
1000/10. Every dish was absolutely delicious, it's hard to pick a favorite! We got a bunch of different options and just shared! My favorites were the smoky escargot, the dumplings and the lamb. The tahini salad that the lamb was served on was creamy and so flavorful! The fried rice was crispy and the batatas were seasoned perfectly!! I mean every dish was 10/10. I had a filthy Shatta! If you like dirty martinis then you'll love it. My friends got the filfil and Jaffa, both were really good! The atmosphere is stunning. Dim lights make it perfect for a little date night but it's also a great spot to hangout with friends! Service was impeccable. We were always taken care of and the servers were knowledgeable in all dishes/drinks. Will most definitely be back!
I moved to Union Market about a year ago and made it my mission to try every restaurant in my neighborhood and become a regular at my favorites (shoutout to El Presidente and Yellow ). I finally made it to La Shukran, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We couldn't get a reservation and showed up around 5:45 hoping for a miracle. The host let us know everything was booked, even the bar but suggested coming back in 35-40 minutes to catch someone leaving. That advice was gold because we were seated within five minutes of returning. The space is intimate and very dimly lit (almost too dim for me), and it's tight inside so you can't really wait indoors but the décor is gorgeous and moody in a chic way. For cocktails, we tried the Jaffa (mezcal + cognac) and the Mish Mish, which drinks like a tequila old fashioned. Both were smooth, balanced, and beautifully crafted . Food-wise, we shared everything. We started with the Falafel Jibne and Soujek Dumplings. You don't get much falafel, but what you do get is delicious. For mains, we had the Grilled Duck Breast à l'Orange Blossom, Wagyu NY Strip Kebab au Poivre, and the Hashwei Fried Rice - every dish was packed with bold, memorable flavor. What really made the night shine was the service. From the host who steered us back at the perfect time to the two bartenders who walked us through the menu and made thoughtful recommendations, everything felt warm, attentive, and elevated. A heads up: the prices are high for the portion sizes, expect around $300 for two if you're ordering cocktails and a few dishes. But between the food, drinks, and hospitality, it was a top-tier experience I'm excited to repeat.
Reviews are largely positive. Diners highlight the creative Middle Eastern fusion, attentive and knowledgeable service, stylish, intimate ambiance, and unique cocktails and drinks.

I love this place so bad. The ambiance is stylish, dim, warmly lit, with excellent bangers playing. It knows it's a cool space, and it plays that up. I loved the food. My favorite dish is maybe the mushroom hummus or the escargot. I love their cocktails. They're all unique and tasty. It's expensive, but it's good for a catch-up dinner and drinks with friends like on a Friday night kind of vibe. The service is mostly attentive and warm. My only complaint is that we are supposed to have the table for 2 hours. And after about an hour of eating and then saying no to dessert they started cleaning up our table and gave us the check. It felt a bit shady that they were clearly trying to get us to leave. They didn't offer us the cocktail menu again or anything. We felt like they wanted us to leave because multiple servers clearly came by our table just to check if we paid the check yet. It was not a cute way to end the night. read more

Everything was delicious. They've been open for three weeks and everything was very smooth service wise. We had the lamb kibbeh, the dumplings. The quail, and the batatas. The lamb kibbeh and the dumplings are must haves. The quail and batatas were good, but would like to try something else on the extensive menu next time. It was a decent amount for two people. We had the arak service and got a great tutorial from one of the bartenders. Everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back. We came at 5pm on a Tuesday and walked around then came back at 5:25 and there was a 10 person deep line for bar seats. Luckily, they have 12 first-come-first serve bar seats, and if you just want drinks they have ample outdoor seating. Also, if you come for bar seating and it's full, they'll seat you outside for drinks until you can sit at the bar for food. read more

KenScale: 8.0/10 Visits: February 2025 Michael Rafidi's restaurant Albi in DC's Navy Yard delights my wife Jun and I whenever we visit (by my count, we have been to the restaurant eight times since we moved down to the DC area in 2021, last with my parents when they visited last year), so I was very happy to hear that the chef won the James Beard Award for Outstanding Chef in 2024. Coming off of this milestone win, chef Rafidi's team recently opened a new project in the Union Market area, a more casual bistro style restaurant called La' Shukran. Compared to the more polished Albi where you could have a fancy, destination-worthy dinner, La' Shukran felt more like its free-wheeling sibling suited for an after-party revelry with some cocktails and snacks. Jun and I have yet to visit Middle East in our travel itinerary, but I could totally feel the vibe of a hip hangout in, say, Beirut. As for the food, there were some really delicious dishes at the restaurant, but one disappointment somewhat dulled our momentum. The menu at La' Shukran consists of snacks, hummus and an assortment of savory dishes, followed by handful of dessert options. Among the snack bites, we liked the falafel with trout caviar and dill on top. We've always had outstanding spreads at Albi, so getting at least one hummus dish was a no-brainer here. Despite my plea to Jun to share the escargot spread, she wanted to go in a different direction with BBQ'd maitake mushrooms; no complaint there, the smoky mushroom (lacquered in date molasses on a scallion-ginger relish) was spot-on to go along with the hummus. I only wish we had received the wonderful pita bread we would always get from Albi when ordering spreads instead of the normal-ish (and not quite warm) bread served here. The best dish of the night was a surprise. I don't normally go for quails on a menu, but Jun, after looking at some reviews of the restaurant before our visit, noted how the quail at La' Shukran seems to be a standout dish so I went with her suggestion to split it, which turned out to be a very wise call. I couldn't remember ever having a quail dish this delicious, with perfectly moist, tender meat dunked in Ramallah chili oil. With the quail, the grilled arrowhead cabbage was quite a nice vegetable complement. The one big disappointment at the restaurant was also a surprise, knowing that the lamb kebab at Albi is one of the best dishes we've ever had in DC, period. I expected La' Shukran to pull off a similar feat with its steak kebab prepared 'au Poivre style, but the steak was surprisingly dull, with the meat's texture somewhat off from my ideal of a filet mignon. Jun was equally puzzled that the steak kebab was underwhelming, especially considering the $58 price tag. Our disappointment was somewhat alleviated later by the pistachio knafeh with naulbi cheese and apple cider sorbet, but we couldn't shake off the "what if" feeling had the steak been as good as the lamb from Albi. La' Shukran is one of the hottest restaurants in DC at the moment, so planning ahead for advance booking (Resy reservations are open up to 21 days in advance) is absolutely critical. As we were checking in, we saw a few desperate visitors trying their luck with walk-in seats at the bar area. Not surprisingly for a sister restaurant to Albi, which has one of the best beverage lists in the DC dining scene, La' Shukran also has some really interesting beverages, including wines (many of them from the Middle East) under catchy themes as well as cocktails (some using the traditional spirit arak from the Levant). As noted above, the atmosphere at La' Shukran can get pretty insane with loud music and dark lighting; on our visit, there was a photographer with blinding flashlight on his camera roaming around the kitchen (where chef Rafidi was also on site) and the dining area. If you are looking for a fun dinner and wouldn't mind the noise and dizzying atmosphere, La' Shukran is worth checking out. I certainly would like to come back again for the quail. For now, I think we stick with Albi as a regular with a calmer dining experience (and yes, that killer lamb dish). read more

I am a huge fan of this new spot! I was worried it wouldn't really be my vibe, but given the rock star team behind it, I decided to give it a try. Couldn't be more happy with my first visit and can't wait to go back. They want it to be more bar than restaurant, so when you are first seated they will only offer you the drink menu. As a petite person who prefers to have food with my drink, this felt a bit forced. This was my only complaint. We ordered four dishes and a dessert for two people. This was more than enough and we definitely didn't need the dessert. Standouts were the hot quail and the dumplings, phenomenal! I also recommend trying the arak or an arak cocktail. The ambiance here was very fun. They left no stone unturned in the design. I've read some comments about the noise, but it was fine the night I went (and I'm noise sensitive). Pro tip: if you can't get a reservation, walk in to the bar! read more

Yes, as good as people say it is. Loved sitting at the bar, enjoying the drinks and food. Pro tip: get there at opening time and you may have a chance to get a seat. I never thought escargot and hummus paired well, but they do. The dumplings are excellent. The oysters have a surprise: jalapeños! Actually, everything we tried was so good. Can't wait to go back. read more
Oh la la La' Shukran! After months of Resy checks to scoop up a reservation, we struck gold, and boy was the wait worth it! A hidden tiny gem tucked in a back ally that shares the love of Albi combined with the sexy ambiance of a speak easy with its customers. First, go for it with the insanely impressive mixology program. The Fin Fin pictured here was my favorite. Second, the small plates are EVERYTHING. To my earlier point, Albi lovers like myself will appreciate the similar hummus combos and experimental vegetable dishes. As we concluded our service, we left with a little tip that I wish we knew -- you don't need to refresh your Resy page like I did for months to get in, line up before opening (5pm) and you'll be the first to snag a seat at the bar where they serve food and drinks. In fact, I might just apply that little tip and head back tomorrow! read more
This is a hidden gem hidden away near the dumpsters in an alleyway. If my friend didn't tell me where this was located I would've never voluntarily walked down this sketch alleyway alone to figure out where the entrance is. It is hard to get reservations because of how good the food is so most likely it will be at a late time in a weekday. The service was great, the drinks were good, the ambiance was nice, and most of the food was amazing! My friends and I really enjoyed the dumplings, quail, lamb rice, and maitake hummus. Only knocking off a star because half of one of the bread slices was pretty burnt and I had to take a knife to scrape off the black pieces. Also the sweet bread was just a few tiny pieces of fried bread for almost $20. There was a moment where the waiter refilled both of my friend's water cups and for some reason didn't fill up my empty cup? Maybe it was the dark lighting where the waiter couldn't see the line of the water... overall this place is pretty good and I would come back again! read more

Food an service were amazing. I recommend getting 5-6 shared small plates between 2 people. I tried the fried rice, quail, falafel, bbq mushroom hummus, and a dessert. Tried 2 of the drinks as well. The flavors of the cocktails were so I interesting and unique. read more

Probably closer to 3.5 stars - Albi is one of my fav dc restaurants so I was really excited to come here. I think the food is good, but the flavor profiles of a lot of the dishes we ordered (probably our fault) were really similar. I was also expecting regular-sized meal plates and it ended up being tapas style small plates, even the entrees so i didnt leave feeling super satisfied. My fav dish of the night was probably the burger! read more

tldr; definitely worth the hype details: the ambiance is awesome --with low dim cool chandeliers to Anatolian funk music in the background. for such hype restaurant you might be expecting to be crammed and loud but it wasnt. it was perfectly balanced. in terms of food, everything on the menu was super interesting. the batata was crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside. the yams were delicious --perfect with its hummus bed. we also got sujuk dumplings --although it could be a bit heavy, it was a good palette cleanser. lamb dish was great too --very well seasoned rice although we thought it could have been heavy, it was super light yet flavorful because the lamb was minced in the rice. the star of the night were the drinks --specifically loved the dukkah. and although the knafeh wasnt a classic knafeh, it was more on the savory side, it was delicious with the pomegranate ice cream. cannot wait for our next dine in here! read more

Great experience! I loved the vibe. The host, I believe his name was Maxwell, was amazing, personable, and accommodating and went above and beyond, and set us up with drinks and lite bites on the patio while we waited. The food was amazing, and it was great to try new kinds of foods and drinks to continue to expand my palate. The tall blond bartender was great and very helpful in breaking down the menu (everything sounded delicious!) and the food was amazing. I'll definitely be back! read more
Absolutely amazing addition to NOMA/Union Market. Chef Rafidi has outdone himself once again, unapologetically displaying his Palestinian roots in his food and fair. The entire vibe is welcoming and fun. The food is absolutely delicious and innovative--things you will not see on a mini menu anywhere else in the area. The sweet breads are fantastic and the shawarma spiced with beef tongue should be mandatory eating. The house drink menu is glorious and they have a fully stocked bar. This is THE PLACE! Great for a drink, snack, dinner, first date; it checks all the boxes. read more

La'Shakrun is a hidden gem--literally. Tucked away in a back alley, you'd miss it if you didn't know it was there. But once you step inside, it feels like you've been transported to another country. The air is filled with aromatic spices, the intimate ambiance is unmatched, and the entire experience feels special from the start. We went for a birthday dinner, and the service was wonderful--attentive and welcoming. It's worth noting that it's easier to get a reservation for a group than for two people, so plan accordingly. Our group of six decided to share dishes family-style, and I highly recommend doing the same if you want to experience a little bit of everything. The food was absolutely delicious, and the rooftop and bar make it an even more unique community experience. Whether for a celebration or just a memorable night out, La'Shakrun is a must-visit. read more
Much like Albi, Michael Rafidi doesn't disappoint with this lounge-style oasis. From the moment you eye the subtle, unique entrance you're transported to a whole space of La'Shukran's own making. It starts with the dramatic tiled stairs to the lounge, then you're greeted by the absolutely gorgeous decor: a stunning bar that flanks an entire side of the space, the intimate dining area, the ambiance set by the dim, fringed-lamps flanked by live plants...from the space to the food La'Shukran is both delicious (on the eyes and mouth) and playful. read more

Went here opening weekend and was totally blown away! Not only is the space incredible, but the food and drinks are amazing too. The outside patio was such a nice surprise and will for sure become one of my favorite rooftop patios in the city. the inside is super intimate and fun; it's the perfect spot for a date or to take people who are in town to show off a bit. I can't wait to go back already! read more

This was an amazing meal from start to finish! A friend and I went as walk-ins right when they opened and were able to snag a seat at the bar, but it fills up very fast, so try to get a reservation if you can. The whole restaurant is warm and intimate, the decorations are beautiful, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and the food was truly excellent. The top dishes for us were the sweetbreads (SO juicy and with the best sauce - with the squeeze of lime juice over the top is especially fantastic) and the cabbage (huge, so filling, with an incredible variety of flavors and textures from the black limes to the char of the cabbage to the pickled red onions). I would order those again and again and again! We also thoroughly enjoyed the lamb kibbeh naya with the poppyseed lavash (satisfying crunch but not quite as flavorful as the cabbage) and the maitake hummus (the bread was so good with it, but the pita at Albi is unmatched). The chocolate cardamom tart with sesame brittle was a great finish to the meal! I love the variation of textures throughout all the dishes. It's just great food! They talked up the quail but it wasn't available that night, so we'll be back. The nonalcoholic coffee drink with cardamom cream was fantastic too! Highly recommend! read more
everything went great from the food to the drinks && especially the service! i went in first few weeks of opening when it was extremely busy, however, we had someone get there right at opening && were able to get a table for 3 hours prior to the first reservation that they had coming in for it! our server (w the ponytail) was awesome!! i am upset i cant remember his name because he deserves a shoutout but if hes helped w multiple openings for the company && been with them like 7 years i believe he said! i got a mocktail && it was great! my favorite dish was the cabbage as we did all shared but id go back only for that! my meat friends got the short rib (i think). the decor is a vibe. to find it may be hard but or you fond it youl never forget! super cute && cant wait to go just to sit at the bar && enjoy the vibes! also i forgot someone got the date bbq'd mushrooms && also raged about how amazing they were! read more

Food: 9.5/10 Service: 10/10 Vibes: 10/10 - its THEE spot to check out, it's giving NYC west village Value: 7/10 - $200+ for tiny portions felt like a bit of a stretch for 2 people So lucky to have snagged a rez here! Turn priority notifications on for the Resy app and you might get lucky too. There are walk ins for the bar and patio but those areas are limited to drinks only at this time. This place feels so trendy. The interior is eclectic and vibrant - how many restaurants can pull off pink rugs, green tables, retro 70s music all at the same time Mushroom hummus - highly recommend. The date sauce caramelization is such a unique touch to an already flawless hummus. You can try similar hummus at Yellow Cafe Falafel - highly recommend. Who knew salmon roe with a perfectly crispy falafel (with cheese inside?) is an incredible combo Deep fried quail - tasty but way too small of a portion. About 3 bites per person if you're sharing with someone Roasted eggplant dumplings - tasted very similar to the roasted eggplant pizza at Yellow. The flavors are more successful on a pizza in my opinion, it's a bit strange on dumplings read more

This place has been super hyped up but in my experience it is overrated. Yes their food is good and the ambiance is really cool but it is way overpriced. The portions were tiny and nothing was blow your mind good. The drinks were 90% ice and pricey!!! The interior is really well decorated and the speakeasy vibe to it was cool but I don't think I will be returning. The service was good but a little slow and our server failed to put down one of our entree orders leaving us with a missing entree. She asked if I still wanted it but after waiting a while for it and the disappointment when it didn't come out I realized I didn't want it anymore. Cool place, maybe worth checking out, but definitely overhyped. read more
