    Food was very unseasoned, drinks were very lackluster, was originally sat in the back but walked up to an extremely dirty table even though it was very slow that night so I don’t understand why it wasn’t adequately cleaned in preparation for the next guest. Then the booth I was moved to was also dirty.
    High RailResponded on January 4, 2025
    Dear Sway, I genuinely regret that your dining experience with us was not enjoyable. It's important to us that every guest leaves satisfied, so I apologize for not meeting your expectations. We sincerely hope for the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Thank you for choosing to dine with us. Sincerely, Jeremy Powers Food & Beverage Manager

    Outstanding Restaurant – A Perfect Blend of Ambiance, Food, and Service! From the stunning ambiance to the exceptional food (small plate) and service, this restaurant exceeded all expectations! Our waitress, Sequoia, was absolutely wonderful—attentive and personable. Steven did a fantastic job explaining the vision behind the restaurant, which has only been open for six weeks. Every single dish we tried was outstanding—truly a culinary delight! I’m already planning my next visit, this time with my girlfriends. With its beautiful views, this place is destined to be the spot to enjoy in the Spring and Summer. A solid 5 out of 5 for me—highly recommend!

    Dear Arlette, This is great news! We are very glad you were pleased with our service, ambiance, food, and drinks. Thank you for choosing us and leaving your words of encouragement. Until next time! Best, Jeremy Powers Food & Beverage Manager

    The restaurant's ambiance is captivating, evoking the charm and mystery of a classic New York speakeasy. The shrimp tacos stood out, with generously sized shrimp that exceeded expectations. While the service from our waiter left something to be desired, Steven went above and beyond to ensure the experience remained delightful. A memorable spot worth revisiting!
