Bartenders and servers were very attentive and kind, the place is overall gorgeous and unique looking, we really enjoyed the speakeasy downstairs as well I believe the bartender downstairs name was Phil? And he played some oldie speakeasy vibes music that really made it feel like an actual speakeasy. Food and drinks were delicious!! I think my only “complaint” was that our slider buns were a little bit too toasty for my taste. Definitely will be trying a brunch here next time!!
