Great time! It’s decorated nicely with a great vibe. Staff were friendly. Drinks were very good, food quality was just okay. Fair amount of food and drinks for the price- ($150 tax and gratuity included) but the food was for sure mid quality.

We had the best time at the holiday cocktail making class! We learned so much and now feel confident enough to make our own drinks at home. We will definitely come back for another class.

I would highly recommend Gypsy Kitchen to anyone wanting to celebrate or just have a fantastic meal/drinks. My husband and I went for his birthday and had a great evening. We had the broccolini, mushrooms, cheese, scallops and lamb and would order them all again, or go back to try an entire new set of dishes. We had the opportunity to chat with the manager Andrew and he was very kind and personable. Highly recommend! It looks like a high price tag, but you could go for a couple cheeses and glass of wine and still have a great night in a fun ambience.
