    Cocktails are amazing, theres a green haired bar made who works her butt off and is so lovely! Disappointed that the espresso martinis are on tap and not made in house. The food was not good at all, we left a full bowl of gnocchi as it seemed to have been microwaved, the rest is just glorified fried food. I would recommend only going for the cocktails

    The charcuterie board was dry. There was a dirty cooking oil smell coming from the kitchen, not pleasant at all. The service was good 👍🏻
