    The space feels like a club not a restaurant. The food was pretty bad and therefore hugely overpriced. Gratuity of 20% was automatically included so watch out.

    Found a decent sized bug in my wine. Neither the waiter nor manager seemed to care.

    Went for my mom’s birthday, really good service and food but the interior could use some updates. Still good for photos though and the vibes were excellent! The Photo Booth was awesome for a birthday photoshoot!
