Great spot! Service and food, spot on! The place is small, really small and the music seemed to get louder as dinner progressed. Couldn’t really talk over the Dj but it is a “sound bar” so I enjoyed the vibe, my drinks, and food. Get the pornstar martini and try the hen in the woods!

The whole Vibe was good. The music, waitress, and management were amazing. Only issue was that we had to leave bc there is a 2hr sitting limit and we had just bought another round. The management was understanding and let us finish. Definitely recommend going!
