By 10 or so, they were packed, happening, and high energy! The sound levels was pretty loud but you could still have a conversation no problem. The staff were very efficient and had great recommendations if you don't know what you want or want to swap out a liquor in a drink. Had a great conversation about Studio Ghibli and the graphic novel Uzumaki, if that tells you anything about the staff vibe Purple Rain - great balance of lavender to citrus. I tried this on a whim and absolutely loved it! Mr. Blue Sky - this also had a nice balance of tartness and sweetness. Not too much on either side and made with real blueberries I hear. This Mainer approves!

Despite having such a large group, drinks were out fast and there was plenty of seating. 2 things stick out here: Decor and the Drinks. Both were impeccably done. The nature meets wood and brick aesthetic is so purposefully laid out and when the eye cruises across the landscape it's so satisfying!! We had a LOT of drinks, but the jade river, el toro rojo, and pacific muse were our favorites. The drinks are priced pretty well ($12-$14) and the service was very prompt, always cleaning up empty glasses and clearing space for more people to sit. I for SURE recommend this place as a spot to come and throw a couple rounds back. We stayed for hours and drank and talked our hearts out! Thank you for such a wonderful night. 5 stars.

We're eager…read moreto find a top-tier burger place in the area, though unfortunately this fell a little short of our expectations. Decided to split the Silver Charm for an appetizer, and it came about ten minutes later. The onion rings were decent, good flavor and somewhat crispy. The accompanying sauces of barbecue and ranch were both good as well, though both were missing something to elevate them a bit more I think. The flavor was good, but quite a small portion for $10. My wife ordered the Strike the Gold Burger and I went for the Northern Dancer Crispy Chicken. The sandwiches came out about ten minutes after we finished the Silver Charm, which was perfect timing. She liked her burger pretty well, and I took a bite too. The "caramelized onions" were definitely more sauteed, with still a bit of crunch, and otherwise I could really only taste the barbecue sauce, which was tasty, but I would have liked some more varied flavors. My chicken sandwich was... a bit disappointing. Rather than a chicken piece that appropriately fit the bun, it was more of a chicken strip, with bites that would only yield bun. In addition, because the chicken piece was so small, it was also extremely dry, which is a bummer because I actually thought the breading was very tasty. The chipotle aioli was decent, but didn't pack as much spice or flavor as I was hoping. And with only two toppings and a sauce on the whole sandwich, I was disappointed that the tomato was rather mushy and didn't seem fresh. I will say the fries that came with our sandwiches were crisp and well seasoned, and somewhat unfortunately the best part of my meal. Based on our experience, I didn't hate our dinner here and if someone invited me to meet them here, I wouldn't say no, but I'm also not going out of my way to revisit.

I enjoyed the ceiling art. Our group collectively enjoyed some of their chic craft cocktails. All of them were beautifully assembled. The Casse was decent, but if your after the bold flavor of tequila you're not going to taste much of it. I greatly enjoyed the Pistachio Martini. Green and delicious with just the right amout of pistachio flavor. Drinks are priced in the double digits so don't expect to get out of there with a light bill.
