    I gave 3 stars for food but we had cocktails, not food. The cocktails were 5/5!

    Great service. Great food and drinks. Make sure you look up when looking for the entrance. I think we took two laps around the block before seeing the entrance.

    This is an intimate speakeasy. The music on nov 30 evening was excellent. Beautiful jazz trio that can play just about anything. The drinks are inventive - and expensive. We pay because we like to hear the music. We had a wonderful server, Carla, who took good care of us. I think everyone should try it! By the way, the French fries are worth the trip! Hot, crunchy, crispy, with a touch of parmesan. Almost ordered a second helping!
