    Laid back ambiance, festive decor and the feeling you are in a hide-away make this place a gem. Staff is respectful and warm, food is good (but you have to order a lot if you want a meal. The drinks are fun!!

    There are a million options that are a better value and cooler in NYC. Whether you are looking for tapas, drinks or a speakeasy you should not choose this place. The Tres Leches cake was beyond awful and the drinks were mediocre including the punch bowl.

    The menu ended up being much smaller than i expected - it's more of a place for apps and drinks than dinner, but the ambiance is SO GREAT that it didn't matter. We had a tiny table in the corner with 2 comfy chairs and could have stayed there all night - just so pleasant, lighting and decor just perfect. Definitely would go again!

    Great ambiance, amazing drinks, very friendly service, and decent food. My favorite dish was the coconut shrimp, everything else was good but NOT amazing. I would NOT recommend this place for parties greater than 2 since the seating is cramped.

    Very good cocktails for a wonderfull romantic night, she had very bright eyes. The only problem is that she was the wrong woman as usual.

    Love the look of this place and the food was ample and quite tasty.. Almost left however because the noise level was crazy. People just shouting over one another. It was however a Friday night so.... I was there once during the week and it was great!
