   The ambience was beautiful. The food was absolutely delicious. The drinks were phenomenal. I love all the books and the adorable setting. If I had 2 issue (and trust me this is so minor that I’m nit picking and the service, food and drinks MORE THAN makes up for it is that it was a touch too dark in the library at the 2-seated tables. Had a hard time reading the menu, but I can’t even reduce their score for it because everything else was amazing. 5-stars and already planning my next visit and bringing another couple with us. Please check them out!

   Made a reservation for the dining area for a first date. They instead stuck me at a pub table in the bar right next to the speaker the live entertainment was using to blast music. When asked to be reseated they said no problem when something opens up. They only offered me and my date seats at the bar and then never honored my reservation for a dining table. To boot the waiter was not familiar with the menu. This place is overhyped, overpriced, and the staff is incompentent

   We really enjoy coming here and glad we can make reservations now! The drinks were fantastic (albeit a little slow). But the charcuterie board was very underwhelming, there wasn’t a lot of food on it for the price. 8 pieces of thinly sliced deli salami, a few slices of cheese, fruit and candied pecans. There was also a bowl of honey which felt weird.
