It's got that speakeasy feel where you can actually talk, laugh, and enjoy the night without it being chaotic or having to scream to talk to the people you are with. The drinks were on point. Good variety, well-made, and not just your standard bar menu. We ended up hanging out longer than planned because it was just an easy place to settle in and enjoy ourselves. Comfortable seating, good atmosphere, and a crowd that keeps things fun without being over the top. Overall, this is a great spot for a night out with friends to grab drinks, catch up, and enjoy a solid vibe. Definitely worth checking out, and we'll be back.

We were seated in a cozy private nook that made everything feel comfortable right from the start. The service was outstanding. We had two servers taking care of our table and they were both incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and on top of everything. They answered every question and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The food was DELICIOUS. Every dish we ordered, from dinner through dessert was amazing We ended up sitting, talking, and enjoying each other's company for about two hours. We will definitely be back.

This year, the hot rod club I belong to decided to have the Christmas party here…read more Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly, and directed to the room where our banquet was gonna be held. Appetizers were served, which was cheese and crackers, clams on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, along with a charcuterie board. This was mediocre, typical banquet food. I stayed away from the clams on the half show. They looked a little sketchy. Dinner consisted of a salad with dressing on the side, pasta and sauce, chicken and mushrooms in a wine sauce, sausage and peppers. (I don't know why), along with beef cubes. All of this was typical banquet food nothing special. The dessert tray was something else. Little desserts, consisting of cheesecakes, cannoli, chocolate mousse, carrot cake along with coffee and cream. These desserts really were delicious. Restrooms were clean. If options are narrowing for your Christmas party, this might not be a bad choice. Easy parking. All in all it was OK.

Don't let the outside of this place fool you because looks are definitely deceiving. We were cautious coming to this place due to the appearance of the outside, but once we were in it was so much fun. Agus, aka rawbartender, was Ah-mazing and truly made the night fun. He was truly such a vibe!! I ordered the SpongeBob, which was Goslings rum, pineapple spice, ginger, lime, angostura bitters. Especially with the show that was put on, my drink tasted even better. It was a Smokey, yet smooth and refreshing drink! We also got the Snow White, on the sweeter side made with Pear vodka, orgeat, pear juice, lemon juice, cinnamon. And of course, we can't forget our schooling in tequila and Mezcal from Agus. He was very informative of what he was serving and we tried a few different shots. He gave us the rundown of how you're actually supposed to taste tequila. And I have to say I've never had an experience like that before. I wish the party didn't stop and I will definitely be coming back specifically for Agus and of course the drinks!

I've known about this place for a while, and a friend reminded me that they recently changed locations. We were seated in the bar area at a high table and were given two menus: a happy hour menu that lasted until 6 PM and their regular menu. We figured we'd order a few things off of their happy hour menu while it was still going on, then move on to the regular menu after 6 PM, since we knew we'd be there for at least a couple of hours. We ordered a shrimp appetizer, gnocchi, fries, wine, and a white Cosmo to start. My absolute favorite was the grilled shrimp appetizer, even though the other two were very good as well. My friend's favorite was the gnocchi. From the regular menu, I ordered the ham and cheese croquettes and she ordered the regular cheese croquettes since she is vegetarian. We loved those as well. These four tapas were enough to serve as our dinner and we didn't have to order anything else. The service was fantastic and I thought that everything was priced very well. I liked that there was a parking lot right next-door. A friend met us. Later on for a final drink and mentioned that he liked this new location better than the old location. I would definitely return and try different tapas. Their entrées also looked very good. I really like this location because you can walk around and do other things after dinner in the area.

There is an areas where it is more intimate and quieter and another area where there are high tables that are close to the bar area. Service in the bar area and in the dining area were both wonderful. Both the waitress and bartender were awesome! I liked that the menu had items labeled gluten free. Always makes it easier. It was 3 of us that came out to celebrate my birthday and 2 of us ordered an entree and our other friend ordered tapas. We were all very happy with it. I had the grilled salmon and it was perfect! Since we got there a bit early we had enough time to order from the happy hour menu so we ordered Grilled Shrimp and Escargot and drinks of course. I love that they have a tray of desserts to showcase! Makes it easy or hard to choose from because they all look so good! I must say prices were good, service was wonderful, food was delicious! We all agreed we would go back!

Very personable and driven to make sure we were pleased. The food was great! We got there in time for happy hour, my favorite!!! We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, the best we've ever had! I actually don't care for them, but this chef changed my mind! We ordered a plethora of wings; Garlic Parmesan, Peach Habanero and Sweet Chili Thai Wings, all of which were big, not dry, and perfectly glazed. We also ordered the Goat Burgers that we had to bring home. The kids scored those! Plating was to perfection and definitely impressive. We will definitely be back with family and friends!
