  • Hot spot
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
Housed in a former mortuary, the decor layers macabre remnants with posh details in a window-flanked space overlooking the charming Lower Highland neighborhood. The drink menu features sips and seasonings as savory as the dishes with which they're paired. While the rooftop patio-outfitted with 1975 GMC RV as bar and repurposed food truck as kitchen- beckons patrons towards adventure.

Our server was amazing, checking in frequently and offering suggestions but once we ordered the food did take forever and a day to come out. I think I should have played it safe and ordered the smash burger.

We ordered the pork belly bao, sweet fries, and charred edamame for a shared dinner. All of the food was packed with flavor and delicious. She ordered an old fashioned and I ordered the Thai tea cocktail. She enjoyed her old fashioned and said it was very orange forward, I was unfortunately not a fan of my cocktail but I think only because of personal preference. Overall I still would give it a 5/5. Ambiance was great but it was a tad loud. Looking forward to going back and trying more things!

The portions for the price were extremely small. I know this is a Tapas bar, but it seemed slightly overpriced. Our waitress was awesome also!! Will recommend to anyone to try. Please make portions bigger or lower the prices by a buck or two.

When we ordered three drinks - she brought only two out of three and never went back to check on the third till we reminded her. Then she brought our check (because everyone else was done) while my wife’s dinner had not yet been delivered - yet it was on the bill. I think the kitchen and wait staff need some better training at customer care as there seemed a lot of disorganization.
