Cool little speakeasy. We didn’t know it was hidden and enjoyed finding it and the entrance. Drinks were unique craft tiki. We arrived after the kitchen was closed so didn’t eat. They have a hard midnight close, and we were reminded of the count down several times. Super small, so reservations strongly recommended. Would recommend and would go again!

It was a perfect Christmas Eve dinner. The decor was on point. Food was great and reasonable. The steak was just undercooked so we had to send back to redo. Overall great!
