Madison was an amazing host. Her customer service and hospitality was top tier! Manager was also very kind enough to make accommodations for my autistic son. All servers were great as well but Madison’s kindness stood out the most. The food and drinks were also very good. I had a French 75 for the first time and it was enjoyable. I don’t usually drink gin because of the taste, but you can barely taste it.

We went during the day during winter break. Wait time was no more than 5 minutes for be seated and to get out drinks after we ordered. Decor and menu items were well done in line with the Arcane theme. We're planning on coming back if we have time before the event is over.
