    It was fine. Start to finish. Then the bill came and I realized I just spent over $200 on four cocktails, a hotdog and some cucumbers. I just can’t justify the price point for that level of food.

    Hmm let’s see where to start. My party was excited and looking forward to this new cocktail bar above the omakase restaurant (which I would try in the future). First and foremost, the setup and way to accommodate guests was pretentious as we couldn’t add a family friend to our party even though when we go there we could have 2 extra people at our table. Next, when we arrived the hostess was adamant about not letting add an extra person to our table especially being the table. We ordered wings and fries. Fries were great, wings were dry and cold. Cocktails were good not great. Maybe it’s still new which is why they haven’t perfected the menu yet but if you wanna have business booking then have more seating or accommodate guests to add to parties. If we could have fit our whole party we would have stayed and ordered multiple rounds. Good luck to this establishment. And the short guy up front towards the end thought we were taking a drink outside which was not true whatsoever.

    Drinks were super unique (a mushroom martini?!). Vibe is intimate without being stuffy. Service was attentive. Wasabi fries hit!

    Lovely, cozy, tiny, hidden-upstairs spot. Attentive service. Inventive cocktails. Creative, flavorful small dishes. A treat.
