    Went in for drinks after dinner with some friends. The bar is fully stocked for almost any drink combination and their speciality drinks. They have liquor 43 which is great for carajillos it would be great if they added their own version to the menu. Our waitress Chelsey suggested beignets which come with chocolate and coffee dipping sauce, highly recommend. The rotating bar is great for any kind of social event.

    I went on a Wednesday evening, for dinner with a friend, and it did not disappoint. I thought it was going to be one of those super cute places with subpar food, but the burger was seasoned well, the fries were soft and crunchy; and the lobster gnocchi was flavorful, generous with the lobster, and just great. I think about each item was 20-30 dollars, each, which is average. Only thing I could say is service was sweet, but very slow. It was only a total of 3-4 guests, the whole duration we were there, my friend and I included, but there were too many times where our water glasses were empty. Other than that, they treated us very well. We ate family style. The burger could’ve used more lettuce, and we would’ve asked, but service was too slow so we just ate and it was fine. Bonus: they let you pick where you want to sit, and they just follow you with menus. Perfect for you to find your own instagramable background!

    I did not eat the food, so It is not a 100% accurate reading but it looked good, vibes were good and the dj was loud, nice spot to either start the night or if you stay in the hotel its a nice bar to hit.
