Immediately across the threshold you feel welcome! Intimate surroundings provide a stylish but understated backdrop for the real center of attention: a well-curated flight of cocktails paired with some spectacular small bites that complement each other perfectly. Will and team have done a magnificent job and this should absolutely be on everyone's list to experience!!

we had a great time. it was the first stop for my friend's bachelorette party and the staff / team was so accommodating, fun, and friendly. the cocktail experience was fantastic, and we loved all the bites, we wished we ate there instead of leaving and going to dinner - in addition to the 4 cocktails in the experience (which were full cocktails, we were expecting tasting amounts) we were given some bubbly upon our arrival, a welcome drink, and a shot post experience! 10/10 would recommend and return

Great ambiance, wonderful staff, and though strong music vibes playing could still have a conversation without yelling, huge plus compared to places where one cannot hear their dinner companion. And the inventive drinks are fabulous!
