Lemon drop $16 Old fashioned $18  Hennessy neat $21
L. V.

This place is like a sexy little speakeasy. My coworkers & I came after work for drinks but unfortunately the drinks were lacking, weak. I mean we tried lemon drop, side car, old fashioned, the Hennessy neat was the tiniest pour for $21. We don't mind paying when drinks are good but it wasn't the case here. Also $14 for the smallest serving of french fries I've ever seen blew mind. There was an employee who greeted us when we first walked in. He was very welcoming with positive energy, sociable. (Angel) The music was great, dim lighting, clean establishment including the bathrooms. I would for sure come back for the vibes, hopefully they'll have a different bartender when I do. We didn't order any food other than the fries so I'm not sure if they have vegan options. Enjoy!

What a cute spot! Love the look it's small but chic and the music is 2000's hip hop and r&b which is my favorite. Drinks were good! We had an amaretto sour, paper plane & sidecar. Service was awesome thank you Angel. they were open on a whim for Presidents' Day so the kitchen was closed so I can't comment on the food.

The Terrace is one of my favorite spots in EH! And Ananda is the sweetest bartender! So attentive and always takes care of us. Love coming here and always recommend to friends looking for a cute chic spot for a quick drink or a few rounds!

Cocktail Menu

This cocktail bar is hidden behind a tailor shop. The space is intimate with lots of ambient lighting. The service was personal and great. The food even though tiny was delicious. I ordered the chicken empanadas and bbq wings. The chicken empanadas were seasoned perfectly, rich, savory, tender, with a flaky exterior. It's definitely a must try. The wings were also very tender and a bit over salted. As for drinks I ordered Mexican Mule and sidecar. Out of the two the sidecar is definitely worth a try. It's a sophisticated lemonade with Hennessy and Cointreau. This place is definitely a hidden gem and I would visit again.

Lychee martini and spicy margarita
Georgia S.

Absolute amazing! Atmosphere was chill and vibing for all personalities. Staff was amazing and absolutely great! Loved their lychee Martini.

I had my birthday party here. Zuly the manager was responsive and answers all of my emails in a timely manner. She gave great suggestions on what to serve for the party and had a plan for the bar service. The food was delicious! I had empanadas, popcorn chicken and jerk fries for appetizers. My guests were so happy and full. Her servers had great attitudes and worked so hard. Everyone left happy and full. Perfect place to rent for a party or any celebration. We will back!

The Terrace is a destination for cocktail lovers. The experience is best in the evening which when their hours are ideal for getting together on a date or a group. The ambiance is very speak easy and there's music to add some liveliness though I'd prefer a more quiet atmosphere with jazz or bossa nova music. Cocktails are good and tasty with a food menu for bites that include pork sliders, chicken wings and empanadas among others. Reservations are required. I enjoyed my experience here, but would recommend the mixologist and bartender add story telling to the cocktails for a better experience.

Fabulous!! Cute garden. Delicious cocktails. Good food. Find vibes. Will be back asap. Highly recommend.

Peru , was an amazing bartender will be coming back very attentive , polite &  made sure we felt welcomed the entire time !

Stepped into this place after work , very welcoming & polite made sure we were taken care off Peru ! Thank you !

Enough space to feel like you're not on top of each other, but not really a place for huge parties. Probably great to do a buyout for birthdays, etc. The happy hour (food & drink) is affordable with a nice selection and runs a good length of time (5-7pm). The non-happy hour menu is the real gem though. A little pricey for the neighborhood, but the quality is on par with cocktail bars down in the villages, so well worth it. Service is quick without being overbearing, and casual without being lazy. Handsome bartender and server. Better to make a reservation later into the night closer to and on the weekend because the space fills up fast. *will update this review when I've tried more of the food*

The Vibe Cozy, comfortable, and full of surprises. Some nights are mellow and chill, perfect for catching up with friends. Other nights, you'll walk in and it feels like a Colombian street festival -- music pumping, people celebrating, energy everywhere. The Drinks This is a cocktail-first spot, and their selection is next-level. If you don't know what to order, just tell the staff what flavors or spirits you like -- they'll craft something spot-on every time. Presentation? Always . The Food Yes, they have bites -- but don't come hungry. The small plates are designed to complement your drinks, not replace dinner. The Extras Live DJs, curated sets, and even surprise performances -- this place keeps things fresh and exciting without losing its cozy feel. The Staff Absolutely outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, and they make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Good vibes in, good vibes back. Overall, one of my favorite spots in the city. Whether you want a low-key Tuesday or a Saturday night that feels like carnival season, this place delivers every time.

There's a camaraderie in the room that invites you to slow down, connect, and truly experience both the conversation and the food. Everything feels considered. My best friend and I each ordered the prix fixe menu, and it was a journey from start to finish. I began with the Spicy Corn & Coconut Soup--honestly, unforgettable. The crispy shallots added just the right amount of texture against the velvety base, and each spoonful layered flavor in a way that felt both comforting and elevated. For my main, I had the kichuri, and Chef Alex Guzman absolutely shines here. He is a star--full stop. There's a clarity and confidence in his cooking that you can taste. The cilantro chutney was perfection, and the way the mint lingers alongside the spice... it's the kind of balance that only comes from someone who truly understands their craft. You can feel his care in every bite. I ended with the key lime pie, and all I can say is thank you. The whipped cream was fresh and airy, the lime zest bright without overpowering, and the crust tied everything together beautifully. It felt like a thoughtful, intentional close to an already incredible meal. I highly recommend starting with the guava mocktail, then pairing your main with the fig mocktail--both are perfectly crafted and complement the dishes so well. Also, sit at the bar. Let Dan guide you through the experience. Trust his recommendations--you will not be steered wrong. He elevates the entire evening. And the playlist? Y'all really did that.

The space itself is genuinely beautiful -- dim lighting, warm decor, and a moody, inviting atmosphere that makes it feel like a proper grown-up neighborhood spot. The service matched the room. Our server was attentive, gracious, and knowledgeable, and the front of house clearly knows what they're doing. The food, unfortunately, didn't live up to the rest of the experience. The pork chop arrived dry, which is hard to forgive on a cut that should be the kitchen's pride. The steak was competently cooked but unremarkable -- no real seasoning, no char to speak of, nothing that set it apart from a passable home-cooked version. For a restaurant at this price point, the kitchen should be delivering more. I'd happily come back for cocktails at the bar -- the n and the staff deserve that. But on the food alone, there are better options in the neighborhood.

It feels like a coffee shop, bar, café, lounge and pre-party stop all at once. The bar staff were "nightclub friendly", they had party energy that this place doesn't warrant. They'd make fun hosts for a great party. The space itself is confusing in an interesting way. It's cold from the tiles and exposed pipes, yet warm from the wooden walls and historic decorative figures. Maybe the idea is that you show up with your group and shape the experience into whatever you want it to be. Still, I'm of the opinion that it's a shared effort. If I'm coming out and spending my money, I deserve an experience. Let me know who you are, and I can decide if you pass my vibe check. This mystified, vaguely eclectic, "we're different but won't say how" approach makes it harder to give new places a chance. I don't see a long shelf life for this one, but hey, I'm just a customer. Came, saw... ehhh.
