The Bloody Mary bar was hilarious and so fun! Peanut butter was also epic, and the pancakes were delish! This vegetarian recommends for the food and the vibes!

Such a cute concept! The food was really excellent. Small bites that reminded me of a “high tea” vibe but with yummy cocktails instead. Though it’s not in an actual old train car, it is impressive how they create the ambiance of one. My only criticism would be that though there was Christmas music playing, it was very quiet and we could hear every word of conversations next to us. My wife and I said we would do this again though next year if there’s another menu to experience.

We had a wonderful experience celebrating a birthday. We booked ahead of time and when we arrived at the restaurant, they had decorated the table. Food and cocktails were very good. I had the bone-in prime rib and my partner had the 12oz fillet mignon. They were perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also had a dirty martini and Brooklyn for cocktails. We shared a Grand Marnier Soufflé that was baked perfectly. We would definitely go again

Thank you for making my birthday a special one! I had a group of 8 booked for a birthday party. I requested the private room in back and they were able to accommodate right at the reservation time. Everyone was happy with the food and loved the experience. Very kind of them to also bring a dessert on the house for my birthday. Overall a great night and definitely recommend for your special occasions
