This is my second time at this establishment and the second time was a completely different experience. Upon entry the host didn’t ask if we needed coat made us wait to be sat because 2 of them had to go look for a bag for another guest. Then the server wasn’t giving us his best service until parties placed orders and he realized that we weren’t ordering the cheap things on the menu. The judgement was appalling. All parties were dressed up heels and dresses not sure what that was about. The food was average. The drinks were great. And the wait time for the entree was about an hour.

We were a party of 6 adults and arrived before 6 pm so were able to take advantage of happy hour drink specials. We all enjoyed our meals. The ambience is lovely and the speakeasy upstairs is a hidden gem.
