    We had reservations that you have to provide a credit card for in case you are a no-show or more than 15 minutes late yet we still had to wait in line to get in and waited 30 minutes past our reservation time. What is the point of reservations if they aren't on time? They also let walk-ins in which then make the entire place way too loud and crowded. Reservations aren't appropriate for this place and neither is the fee they charge for no-show/late arrivals. It'd be a good place if it was reservations only and not so loud.

    This place used to be hip. Now full of tourists and bachelorette parties. Yet they still take your phone for some odd reason.

    Such a good spot for a weekend drink. The no phones policy is so conducive to conversation, and the cocktails are reasonably priced given the venue and high quality of service.
