Beautiful spot. Great cocktails. A little pricey, but you have to expect this going in. Fantastic atmosphere. No loud music playing, comfortable seating, well decorated. I highly recommend it as an after dinner spot. Only let down was the service. Very polite but very slow and inattentive.

Nice, dark vibe inside but service was extremely slow and understaffed. Had to get up to get my own water after having empty glasses and already asking for it.

Unfriendly hostess. No birthday welcome. We are Langham hotel guests and did not get the table we requested. We waited at the bar for our table to be ready for 15 minutes. We were seated behind the bar at a high traffic, not ideal table without visibility to the live music. It took 8 minutes for our server to even come. We left before even ordering food.

Great, cozy atmosphere with all the lounge seating. The food is a bit expensive for what it is, but not surprising given the prime, downtown location.
