I discovered this location online a few weeks ago while looking for a spot to have a surprise party…read morefor my boyfriend. And now I'm obsessed!!
First of all, it's not so easy to find, yet this is one of the highlights of the experience. After inevitably finding the door with the red light above, hidden away in Monroe's parking lot, you enter the corridor and discover a secret door with a bell. The man inside peeks out and welcomes you in. It evokes the atmosphere of a 1930s speakeasy. Very intriguing.
Once inside, our guests and the staff erupted in a wonderful roar, yelling "Surprise." It was then that I had a chance to look around and fully absorb the surroundings and mood. It was perfect.
A variety of swanky, stylish seats, sofas, and tables. Perfect for my group of 20 to sit, mingle, and explore. And a really talented young female singer played the piano and serenaded us all night.
The staff: What could I possibly say about each and every one of them? From managers to servers, they were all OUTSTANDING! Everyone went above and beyond to make this surprise birthday party truly memorable. They exceeded my expectations. I had so many compliments from my friends about the service. We were all very impressed.
Food: Another huge success! I pre-ordered various appetizers, and each one was better than the next! The pork belly is still on my mind. I'll be going back for that!!
I'd also prepared a cupcake tier, and they were so helpful in putting everything together.
Even though there were other patrons in the restaurant, it felt like we were the only ones there; they made us feel very special. It takes a special talent to make each person in your establishment feel that way.
A special thanks to Jen, who helped me coordinate the entire affair over the phone. And special thanks and love to Dannie, Mario, Joey, and Letty!!! These guys made our experience unforgettable.
We will be back!!!
