    We went to celebrate 2 birthdays and it was a nice experience. Food was delicious as well as the drinks. The restaurant is very industrial but nice with curtains draping from ceiling to floor. Low lighting and the music wasn’t overly loud. Parking was free just a short walk to the lot but they do offer valet. They gave the birthday twins a free shot or you can opt for a free dessert.
