I really loved the space. Mysterious, eclectic, & exotic. The service was great. Our drinks were great. The food was good, but I would go back for the drinks, space, and service over anything else. It was mid to high 60’s and rainy out, and it was freezing in the space. Almost uncomfortably cold. Many of the guests upstairs were putting their coats on and commenting on how cold it was.
