The cost of dinner was more than I would’ve ever spent here, and had I known, I would’ve gone anywhere else. TLDR - nice place, not worth the V-Day price and definitely felt cheated with lack of notice considering it would be impossible to make a reservation anywhere else 2 days before.

We were a group of four seated at a two-person booth, even though we had a reservation for four. The food was decent. Overall, I’d definitely go back.

I like the environment and the live music they had. I also really loved our server Alicia who was so helpful and kind. I would say this place is expensive and the quality of the food doesn’t match the price points. The food was good but overly done and salty. I wanted the experience and mainly food quality to be better but was disappointed. I don’t see myself going back.

They sat us at a tiny little table, and when I asked to be moved to to the larger table with a sofa they said no. Just for them to seat 2 more tables of parties 2 in the seats I had asked for. I had also put on the reservation it was my girlfriends birthday which couldnt even get us a better seat when we were there first. It felt discriminatory the way we couldnt get the seats we asked for when there was no reason we shouldnt have as they were in the same section.

If you haven’t, imagine a glamorous speakeasy with no windows and soft lighting. The food is great. The chicken parm is a must. And the cocktails are amazing.
