    Service was outstanding everyone was helpful, kind and attentive. Seating was intimate but comfortable. Noise was the only factor hard to hear each other with the noise and music but overall always enjoy coming here and being able to order multiple dishes and try a variety of things there is always something for everyone. Food was really good the hot honey carrots and grilled octopus phenomenal!

    Food was great! The selection of music does not compliment the venue. The atmosphere would be greatly improved with jazz music.

    Fun place to meet up with friends for drinks and tapas. You just need to be prepared for the type of dining experience it is. It’s a smaller space, maybe 10 tables. It’s BYOB so bring everything you need for your table, even bottle opener. Table Service/servers are scarce, you’re pretty much on your own, but it’s ok if you know that going in. Food was excellent, just know it will be brought out to you sporadically. Eat/share the dishes as they are served to you, don’t wait for other dishes to arrive. Fun, but loud atmosphere. Overall, recommend it

    We enjoyed our dining experience and the food was really very good but Speakeasy 12 speaks of liquor and offered no alcohol option. It was definitely not straightforward on the website that it was a byob venue. There should be an update to the website details and a name change. The bang bang shrimp was outstanding and the lobster nachos were also exceptional. Service was pleasant and efficient. Only the cocktail issue was disappointing on New Year’s Eve.

    Food is served tapas style, and the menu choices are lengthy. Everything we had was very good. The meatballs and lobster nachos were our favorites.
