Food wasn’t very good. Shrimp was over cooked and so was the steak. Service was decent but the server had zero personality and didn’t seem to want to engage any more than absolutely necessary. Drinks were ok. I probably won’t go back given the high prices and poor food.

I thought the food had a lot of flavor. Our server was attentive and our dishes came out quickly. We went here prior to seeing a play at Paramount and it was a short walk.

How about this: Wow! The ambiance was incredible, and the staff were so lovely! The drink menu was super creative and delicious. We were stranded at a hotel due to a power outage in our area, and we're so glad we found this gem! You need to book in advance, but it's totally worth the wait. The drinks were pricey but worth every penny 💕 We'll definitely be back!

Overall, a great experience. Strange that the front door was left open the entire night on a very chilly evening. There was some of problem with the lock where (-according to the hostess) the door had to be fully open or closed and several patrons complained about it being open. The power went off at some point because of the bomb cyclone, but the team handled it very well. Would definitely return.
