Wonderfully chic speakeasy that is incredibly unassuming. We met the owner, Cristy Velasco, and the staff upon arrival. Everyone was so friendly and hospitable. We felt like we had been warmly welcomed into a home featured in a modern home magazine. The decor, the vibe, and music are everything you think it would be from the photos. What you can't see from pictures and videos is the SMELL. It smells glorious inside... not like candy but more of a luxury hotel! I'm big on scents, so this was huge for me. I will be back for after work drinks, drinks with friends, just because drinks and any other reason to get out of the house. ❤️

Great selection and value for Christmas Eve dining! Wonderful rich lobster bisque with chunks of meat to start,followed by an 8oz filet mignon with crabmeat lumps. Other great choices as well. Personal service by U.T., our smiling waiter. Excellent wine choices with a wide price range. We had a nice quiet booth and went early before it got too busy. Impressive.
