Everything was sublime from the drinks to the service to the food. There was such a variety of options to choose from, that there truly is something to eat for everyone. The drinks were so well made and definitely worth the money given the location. The ambiance was fun and definitely a very instagrammable place!

Highly recommend - just be sure you request first floor for the most energetic and fun ambiance! We received seats on the 2nd floor and asked to be moved and they were so accommodating but just something to keep in mind for future reservations!

Everything was great! The only issue I see is charging $24 for one crab cake. I was expecting something to come with it or even two.

Really enjoyed the energy in the space but the food menu was really the star. Loved the salad and hand held options - made for a difficult choice. I was curious about the poke bowl, but the sweet description made me hesitant.

I was with a friend and we were celebrating her birthday. The server we had was attentive and very helpful. The manager also checked in on us. We felt very taken care of. The food was good and the atmosphere lovely. We will be going back.
