    There is no food here to critique. There were 6 of us ages ranging from 25-55, overall not a fun place. Music was boring, drinks were mediocre at best and pricey. The theme and concept is great, just not executed well. No one in our group think it is worth a trip back. It sounded like the band played the same song the whole hour. The volume of the music was good so you could still talk, but I think a better variety of songs would be good.

    For what it's advertised as and how expensive it is I expected more. Overall it was fun, and my date had a good time, for the price point and the intent to be a lounge more exclusive kind of experience I would have expected better service. The cocktails were yummy, but it took a while for our server to come take our order and a while to come again for us to place another drink order. We were not checked on again until she came with out check, telling us the table was reserved for another party in 10 minutes. I would have thought we would have been checked on a bit before this for an opportunity to order anther drink, which I would have liked and intended on ordering. The band and music was very nice but super loud and hard to have conversation over all the other patrons also talking over the band. Maybe a little too boujee for my personal taste. I think if I came later for a longer time slot or if we had been checked on more frequently my rating would be higher. I reccomend checking it out as an experience but it's not exclusive by any means and probably would not visit again unless invited by someone else.

    Made a reservation in September and still ended up having to wait for a table. System is very unorganized. They need more than one exit as it is very crammed. Band was good but the vocalist microphone was way to low so couldn’t hear anything she was saying.

    I booked reservations back on 9/13/2024 for 8 people at 7:30pm. We got there at 7:26 and told the hostess and she said to check back in shortly as they had overlapped bookings. I went back up around 7:40 and asked if our table was ready. She very rudely said not yet, we’ll let you know when it’s ready. I said okay so will I get a text? She said yes we will. I continued to stay there and wait and another group said they had reservations as well and had gotten there around 7:40-7:45. It was not worth the wait and I wish we would have just left and told them to take my card off file so I didn’t get the $25/person charge for no show
