We sat at a table at the bar and had the best service from Matt. He made us two custom cocktails after hearing what we liked. Amazing. The menu cocktails were also good but lacked the intimacy of the special cocktails he created. He also helped us navigate the menu with a severe food allergy, and we lived the long bone beef rib. It was so tender and flavorful. We'll be back.
