   The room is very fun. Feels like you’re in a Paris speakeasy. We weren’t expecting it to be exactly L French but I was really disappointed with the lack of actual French food, wine and beer menu. The only French thing was the frites. There wasn’t a single French wine available for red, white, rose Only a very over priced champagne for bubbles. No French beer. The cocktails were cutely named and made but could have been for any theme. Just change the name. We had fries and chicken fingers. Which we could have had at the Earls up the street. If the organizers want to make these really special and unique they need to provide more on theme menu items. At a minimum there should have been a French wine offered. Also while I appreciate the 90 minute time limit, we had to wait 5 minutes at the front because no one was at the hostess table. And then before our server even spoke to us the hostess came over and said you have 90 minutes. There are ways to do this less rudely. Overall it was a 3.5. But could easily be a 5 with better wine and food.

   This was my husband's and my first experience at the Speakeasy and we had an absolutely amazing time. It's like we were transported to Paris. I love the attention to detail and how the food was even Parisian themed. The lemon tarte was probably one of the best ones that I've ever had. The butter crust was delicious. Everything from the food, drinks and service was amazing. I can't remember our server's name but she was great, very helpful. This was an amazing experience and I can't wait to come explore the other themes.

   We had a cute girly “galentines” planned. We had dinner elsewhere and came here for dessert & drinks, and honestly, Jinny made our experience. She was so cute & sweet at the door! She showed us to our table but also highlighted the beautiful ambience on the way (and the best places to take photos). She checked on us and asked how our drinks were, and also recommended her fav (which my best friend had and loved). It was a beautiful space for a cute photo-worthy drink, and we’re really happy we came! Thank you, Jinny, for elevating our experience!!

   Definitely made for instagram/social media appeal. The atmosphere has potential to be pleasant but within an hour of being there we were surprised at the amount of flash photography inside, half the tables were conducting their own photoshoots. Front table was not organized and confused about reservations and waitlists. I had requested a booth and was given a high top in what felt like a hallway. Host was disingenuous about “trying to secure a booth” and that we’d be able to switch to one shortly but it did not happen. Only high point was our server who was very sweet and informative, suggested a great cocktail for me.

   This experience was very disappointing. We were sat at a table in the middle of a hallway with very poor ambience and little decoration. My partner was staring at the kitchen door. The point was to feel immersed in Christmas decorations, and that was not the vibe at all. At the price of the drinks, this didn’t make me want to order more drinks, but leave faster. The food menu was very disappointing. It didn’t go with the drinks at all, so we didn’t order anything. This pop up seemed really poorly designed. Details were not accounted for.

   The Christmastime High Tea was a lovely experience, the service and ambience were excellent. The food was very good and deceptively filling.

   Bringing light and truth to the world for all to experience the ascension of the soul into the new creation free of controllers and instead connect with the new ascended light mind. The food and drinks were phenomena. Greatly recommended.

    It's always a lovely experience, although I preferred the ballerinas to the elves walking around. The food was good, the scones are incredible as always, the service is great and the overall atmosphere is lovely. Took my parents and they really enjoyed it. You will not leave hungry!
