Our food and cocktails reflect the feel of prohibition supper clubs. This not to say we're stuck in the past, but rather that we try and emulate the style of that era. That means beautiful presentation, careful crafting, and perfect pairings to keep your night on beat. Combined with live music, this creates an unparalleled experience for the discerning and adventurous looking for a sophisticated evening.

Great food and gracious service at the food market! Generous portions are a bonus. Loved the crab soup with a little crab cake and the beet salad was fantastic.

The food was excellent! Service was good however the music is extremely loud. I’m not sure if it’s because we were sitting right by the speaker or if there’s only one or two speakers in the restaurant, but we were at a table of six and could barely have conversations with each other. I would recommend it turning the volume down just a little bit so that people don’t have to yell at each other.
