I’ve been two times and it was consistently delicious and viably. The price is to be expected for something downtown, but the menu is pretty unique compared to some other options.

Our dinner was excellent. The braised ox tail was particularly noteworthy. The highlight of our meal may have been dessert. The pumpkin flan let us know there is creative culinary talent in the kitchen.

About the restaurant

Once called the Glass Factory and mainly operating as a wedding venue, we have transitioned into a speakeasy lounge that will be open to the public on certain days and will be available for events on certain days of the week! Still very industrial down to its bones, this hybrid space now displays a timeless art deco decor and upscale eats and drinks. Follow us on social to keep up with updated hours of operation, events, and more!

The food is ok. The cocktails and the ambiance make up for it! It looks like a swanky jazz room but the talent (though talented) never matches.

A lovely way to spend Thanksgiving. The turkey was delicious and moist the prime rib carvery was just as juicy and delicious. All the trimmings were delicious as well though the mash potatoes were not really all that but everything else was nice. Full salad options along with shrimp and fruit! I enjoyed the dessert options of key lime tarts pecan pie. Chocolate cake left a bit to be desired but overall very happy with the ambiance and the quality!
