The ambiance of this restaurant is incredible, so many little dining rooms with different aesthetics. Menu is curated and delicious. Very fun themed cocktails.

    When you arrive and walk in this place hits all the marks, the look is so intriguing and the ambiance is perfect for a romantic evening or if you appreciate a moody aesthetic. Our initial waitress was a little indifferent about waiting on us, her service was very poor. But we were greeted lather by other staff that more than made up for it. Food was good, but not above par as I would except for a popular historic place.

    Everything was phenomenal from the atmosphere to the food. Their brunch menu was small, but delicious; the breakfast burger was incredible, and the churro pancakes were out of this world. Their brunch menu only thing I will complain about is the pricing. It was $75 (not including tip) for pancakes, a burger, a cup of tea, and a mix drink. Doesn’t mean I won’t go there again, just maybe not frequently. Which is a shame be aid the food was so good.
