    Bathroom was messy, drinks were good not great. Menu was limited because we got there after 10pm which was disappointing since we wanted cocktails and they narrowed the menu to 2-3.

    It was an ok experience! I was looking forward to going here but the location is honestly a bit random. The service as mentioned was AWFUL and slow. The food is ok. Drinks are overly sweet. Overall an ok experience.

    hostess was incredibly rude, made multiple backhanded comments about us going over the time limit for our table, despite us waiting 30+ minutes for each round of drinks

    Drinks were good, fresh, but most were a bit sweet, food was varied in size but flavorful. Beautiful room and clean bathrooms.
