Had dinner off of the happy hour menu. The octopus was absolutely fantastic, the sliders were solid. Jazz band was playing and the place was lively. Small menu but overall it was a cool Lounge for being in the lobby of a hotel.

Our first time there and it did not disappoint. Drinks were excellent and food was to die for. Noise level was higher than I expected, however my wife and I were able to carry a conversation easily. Service was prompt and friendly. Will definitely come back for more oysters.
