    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brought my boyfriend here for his birthday and couldn't have picked a better spot! The vibe is perfect—cozy yet sophisticated, with staff who genuinely made our night special. The food was great, and the whole experience felt just right. Perfect for date night or any special occasion. We'll definitely be back!

    The caviar tasting was really good. The steak was a bit fatty for my liking. The drinks… honestly could have a better wow factor. They were okay cocktails. The ambiance and design was cool but it was very loud.

    I had such a great time here. Nice vibes at the bar. Our bartenders were awesome top notch entertainment and great service. I could not be happier. Escargot was delicious. Wish I had a small spoon to scoop the sauce. Steak was made to perfection. Truffle parm fries were super delicious and the same for the lobster rolls. All drinks we had were amazing too. Esthetically pleasing too. I have not given a great review in a long time so I'm happy to give it here.

    🌟 An Unforgettable Experience at Prequel & Co. Apothecary! 🌟 From the moment we stepped into Prequel & Co. Apothecary, we knew we were in for something special. Despite arriving an hour early for our reservation, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, finding space for my wife and me at the bar instead of turning us away. This level of hospitality set the tone for what became an incredible evening. The atmosphere was vibrant, energetic, and fun, with just the right touch of sophistication. Yes, it was a little loud, but rather than being a drawback, it added to the lively ambiance that made the whole experience feel like a celebration. Now, let’s talk about the drinks and food—absolutely top-notch! The craftsmanship behind every cocktail was impeccable, showcasing a level of knowledge and artistry that is truly rare. Each drink was not just a beverage, but a carefully curated experience, with the bartenders demonstrating both skill and passion for their craft. Pair that with exceptional food, and we had a meal that left us completely satisfied yet eager to return for more. Beyond the drinks and food, what truly made this evening unforgettable was the outstanding service. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their ability to make us feel welcome and valued speaks volumes about the dedication behind this establishment. We cannot wait to go back and would highly recommend Prequel & Co. Apothecary to anyone looking for an unforgettable night out. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur, a foodie, or just someone who appreciates fantastic service and atmosphere, this place is an absolute must-visit! ✨ 5 stars all the way! ✨

    Exquisite drinks priced fairly, with a fair value on food and solid service. Minor gripes about service (wait staff forgot to bring us water when we asked for more, bit of a wait on the cheque) but that seemed mostly due to understaffing and it being a Monday more than any kind of ineptitude or incompetence. One more on the floor would’ve netted a perfect 5 stars.
