    Tonight we celebrated two friend’s birthdays at Prohibition. It was our first time here and the experience did not disappoint. The atmosphere was rustic, inviting and very clean. There are two large sitting areas and plenty of room at the bar while you’re waiting on a table (if you don’t have reservations). The manager, bartender and our server (Katie)were all very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We had the cherry sour, old fashion and carolina wren. This is a tapas style restaurant. We shared the charred wings, shrimp fried rice, Brussel sprouts and the pierogies. All phenomenal. For dessert we had the lemon poundcake. We enjoyed our experience tonight and will definitely return!

    Greeted warmly at the front and they pulled up my reservation immediately. We were seated right away and our waitress greeted us at the table. Everyone seemed to enjoy their jobs and it showed in their actions / service. The food was outstanding. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend you check it out yourself.

    It was a nice experience. Hard to find a place for 10 people on Mother’s Day. They did a great job.
