I loved the ambiance and drink choices but it was too loud. A good level would have been under 80 decibels but having live music or from speakers in a small space requires some different efforts (mutes on woodwind or brass instruments or brushes on drums) and lowering the volume so that it isn’t deafening since it’s a small establishment

Such a fun place!! Beautifully festive and so perfect. The cocktails were fantastic. Our only issue was the small bites. The shrimp was really bad. We each took one bite. Did not taste fresh. The Parm fries were okay as was the Brie in croute. Having just come from Planta Queen, the food was disappointing. But we had a great time!!
