    Wow a really neat vegan experience and the food was great, but I had to use my phone flashlight to see the food and menu because of how dark it was. They were very nice in bringing us extra candles but it didn’t quite brighten up enough.

    Wear your night vision glasses 👓 when you don't be hear its dark 🔦 and only light is by candle. Most importantly, very tight at the table and a lot of noise

    Loved our dinner here to celebrate a birthday. Its a great option for dinner in the city - excellent service, food, ambiance and very reasonably priced. The cocktails are out of this world, which we knew, but we also LOVED the food. Our server was so knowledgeable and professional - totally took care of us. It was a very fun night.

    The food is consistently excellent. On this particular visit, I asked the bartender about a zero proof cocktail and got the chance to talk to the manager who had created the recipe. He couldn’t divulge any “trade secrets,” but did tell me all about the process the restaurant goes through to make their own mushroom amaro. Not only was the meal fantastic, but I learned something, too!
