    Food was fantastic! Ambience was perfect. Staff up front were really great, servers were lagging hard during the meal.

    Bartenders were fantastic. They explained each drink and their presentation when making the drinks was perfect.

    This is not a speakeasy. It’s a high end bar. The drinks are ok, not great. The service was excellent. The options for appetizers is so sad and limited. Chips and onion dip or fish is not the best options to impress anyone that you’re with. Had higher expectations and was dissatisfied with the experience. Won’t be going back.

    So excellent! Stopped with the wife for a pre dinner drink. Low key, great atmosphere. Each cocktail [inspired by literature] was made with such skill and precision. We cannot say enough good things about the bartenders. They were killing it. Please stop for a drink, you will NOT regret it.

    The study is an interesting room tucked into the back of a hotel restaurant area. It is quiet, and a great place to enjoy a late night cocktail. The bar menu could use a couple of other items besides little hors d’oeuvre size portions but overall it was what we needed last night a place to sit and talk.
