Best fish and chips in the market. It's a downstairs venue. We are lunch people, I little daylight is the only thing missing. Can't beat oysters for $1 each.

We were a party of 8 and had a secluded area where we could all chat easily….(haha Speakeasy)! The service was excellent and many fun choices of cocktails. Everyone enjoyed their meals.

This Speakeasy is a treat. Comfortable ambiance (perhaps a little darker would be nice - those pot lights can get bright), fantastic cocktails (the bartender creates his own), great food and service. The live music was solo jazz saxophone player, and he added some magic to this bar’s vibe. Will be returning!

Very disappointed. We had reserved a high top table, but when we arrived we were told to just choose a table on the patio as they were preparing for the jazz inside. The menu didn’t match what was on the restaurant’s website. The jerk chicken skewers tasted more like teriyaki. The fries were floury and mushy. The bathroom floors were sticky. We will definitely not repeat the experience.

The appetizers, drinks, main course meals were delicious. Our server was very friendly and courteous. The only issue we had is that it's way too dark. I don't see as well in the dark and my husband has very low vision. We constantly had to use the flashlight on our cellphone to read the menus. This was my first time at this be and my learned lesson about "Speakeasy" atmosphere. This is definitely not for us.

It was well beyond what I was expecting. Much better than I could have imagined. Special entertainment made it even better. Magician on Mother’s Day! Who would have thought. Family party at its best.
