Our food and cocktails reflect the feel of prohibition supper clubs. This not to say we're stuck in the past, but rather that we try and emulate the style of that era.

Wow, where do I begin? From the time my husband and I walked in, to the time we walked out, the experience was “chefs kiss”. The staff, the beautiful decor, the music, the food, the dessert was amazing! This is our new hidden gem! We will definitely be back this weekend to watch the belly dancers! Oh and our waiter gifted me with a beautiful belly dancing scarf for my waist!! What an experience! Oh, last but not least… THE ROBOT delivers your food!! I’m speechless…. 10/10

Our server was fantastic and very attentive. The food was delicious. We got the birria empanadas, the poached pear salad, the pat lafrieda burger, the duck parts, and a dirt cake on the house for our anniversary. Everything was cooked and prepared to perfection!

We had a reservation so we were seated quickly. Our server came right over and took our drink orders. The BlackBerry Sangria was amazing! The bread was delicious and the salad was ok(not a fan of vinegrette). Our steak was prepared as each of us requested. It was delicious! The special sauce was very tasty! Much to our surprise they came around with another round of steak and fries (which my mom and I boxed up as we were full). I highly recommend Medium Rare if you enjoy steak in a nice atmosphere!
