    The greeter at the door was super nice, she had amazing energy which made my group excited to try the restaurant out for the first time. I loved the decor and how well put together the place looked the place had a very chill atmosphere overall, however the service once we got to our table was poor and the entrees were not that good we enjoyed the appetizers but the actual meals we had we just didn’t enjoy and had to take back two entrees and as a table rated our food experience a 5/10 also our server was really rude and didn’t know much about the menu to be able to assist us with recommendations or much of anything granted she was new but she still could have had better customer service in my eyes it also was my birthday weekend so I expected amazing but isn’t a bad place just wasn’t for me

    Very well designed restaurant with very good food. May try outside seating next time. We sat in a booth in the bar. The tables for two did not appear to be a good choice. We were told that the booths in the dining area were reserved for four. They were all empty at that time. Good service.

    The signage to the restaurant can be much better. It was a little confusing finding the entrance to the restaurant because we entered street level which is where the restaurant sign is located. However it's on the 7th floor of a hotel but we were not able to access the floor using the hotel elevators without a key card. Thankfully a hotel patronage swiped their keycard for us. When leaving the restaurant we learned there is a direct elevator right up to the 7th floor when entering through the lobby (which is on the back side of the street entrance). Besides that, the restaurant was FABULOUS! Our resy was at 6pm which was more the laid back dinner crowd fast forward 2hrs when night fell and the city lights gleamed the restaurant took shape! The ambiance was wonderful. We had about 4 or 5 sharables between the 4 of us and it left us satisfied enough to forego dinner if we wanted to, but we didnt bow out. The menu is pretty limited however the food was EXCELLENT! Drinks were really good and the wait staff was very attentive. Dipped in and out when necessary giving us enough space to enjoy our company. Definitely going back!!

    We went on a rainy Sunday afternoon, and had a great time. Ordered both flatbreads and fell in love with the Italian one. The burger was great as well as the tuna bites. Overall the food was delicious, service was attentive and the drinks were delicious. The restaurant is gorgeous and we can’t wait to be back
