    We ate downstairs and the room was amazing. Great seating and lighting. Food was amazing but even though they have indicated gluten free options there isn’t really room to further accommodate other allergies.

    The vibe, decor and just general ambiance of the place is great - and that’s a big draw indeed. The staff we encountered were all lovely, our server was fantastic. Things were a little slow overall but we were not in a rush. The room we were seated was nice, but I did find it difficult to hear my date or the server, might just be my aged ears but the voices of a larger party behind us carried and I struggled a bit with being able to hear. Cocktails are done right here, a well laid out menu with a ton of options for all tastes or you can request a bartender make you something based on your preferences. We enjoyed all our choices. Overall though, the food is just… meh. Nothing was bad, but nothing was remarkable or memorable either. Portions are decent for the cost, no real complaints but we also didn’t have anything I want to return for or brag about. We both agreed we would love to go back for a spot downstairs to enjoy a cocktail or two but will not return for a full meal any time soon.

    Very pleasant business lunch. Room had perfect ambience with the ability to connect and discuss important matters with our client. Service from Nick was spot on, informative, formal but still warm and charismatic. He was there when we needed him and offered appropriate space when we didn't. His timing for drinks/orders etc. was perfection. Would not hesitate to book another business lunch here or romantic dinner date for that matter.
