   We came for the Christmas bar and it was very festive, but the drinks were $15 each and definitely did not stand up to the hype. The appetizers were bland and lacking flavor. Honestly, I was just very disappointed. Service was good, but the food and drinks were not.

   Made the reservation a while ago because it was booking up. Called to see if we could add one more person and was given a hard time because they were overbooked and they didn’t want it to be a fire hazard so we were OK with that. When we arrived There were hardly any tables with people at them. The service was super slow. Our server would come and take a couple of us and then run away before she had the order of the whole table. The food was just mediocre and the prices were pretty expensive. There wasn’t even a lot of Christmas decor, which is Why we came. It was just a disappointing unexpected experience.

   Great ambiance for the holidays, we really enjoyed the holiday cocktail specials, and the smashburger and fries were delicious! Servers were very attentive and friendly, would definitely return post-holiday!

   Drinks and the smores dessert were good! Drinks were very strong and pre batched so no adjustments could be made. Not a big deal though. The service was just not good at all. Wouldn’t recommend if you are just going for drinks and dessert our server was not present because of what I assume was our not ordering food! It wasn’t busy at all either.

   our server was great, he tried his best to make our experience a good one. we went for dessert and half of the dessert was already gone, what we actually ordered was terrible. comparable to cruise food. we tried to order a coffee or espresso and they didnt have any but they had espresso martinis on the menu. i thought it would be more festive inside and it was subpar, over all not the worst experience but definitely no need to ever revisit.

   Food was good. A little frustrated when first arrived friend asked waitress for Cindy Lou drink since she asked if anyone wanted anything yet. 15 minutes later after another friend arrived, the waitress came back asked if anyone wanted anything. We was puzzled because the first drink still didn't arrive. Also, ordered The Old Fashion, that was not even half glass full for $15.00. That's an icon drink ordered all the time, so we know how it is suppose to come. The Grinch if it was a martini just tasted like mint with no vodka. My drink was empty and waitress never asked if I wanted another one, she just came and took my empty glass and left. So drinks were mehh, but the food was very good. Even though what we wanted they ran out of and didn't have. It definitely didn't look as festive as portrayed on Instagram, seemed Instagram post had more lights and decor and trees lit than when we went. Trees were not lit and half the decor is not what it seemed online. Needless to say it was ok, not what we expected, and what we wanted to eat they didn't have, which is what we were looking forward to when we reserved. Waitress was not very attentive but she was nice. I don't think we will go back but if we do, we will just sit at the bar, they seemed happier when we passed.

   We had the most wonderful time here last night. From the moment we walked in the door for cocktails until we left several hours later, we were treated like royalty. We drove almost an hour to get to this restaurant. And I would do it again in a heartbeat. The food was innovative, beautiful, and delicious. The service was top-notch. The owners were on the property and hands-on greeting and making sure everyone was having a wonderful time. Definitely recommend.

    1. Odd odor in the restaurant. 2. Very limited menu due to lack of staff. Would have been nice to know this as it was a celebratory dinner that needed more than burgers. 3. Staff was polite and apologetic. 4. Cocktails were well crafted, but $15 each.
