    The restaurant's ambiance is captivating, evoking the charm and mystery of a classic New York speakeasy. The shrimp tacos stood out, with generously sized shrimp that exceeded expectations. While the service from our waiter left something to be desired, Steven went above and beyond to ensure the experience remained delightful. A memorable spot worth revisiting!

    The ambiance is nice. The drinks were good. There was some sort of error ordering where out food didn't get order and we waited for over 30 minutes. We finally did get our food comped, but it would have been nice not to have it done right the forst time.

    Very disappointed - we booked at table weeks in advance for sunset with guests in town. We were sat at a table adjacent to the bar without any view. We asked for a table closer to the view and were told those were reserved though we had a reservation. With so many other better venues I doubt we will try again.

We strive to impress our patrons, so I apologize for this mistake on our end. We would love another opportunity to host you for a pleasant dining experience.

    Very pretty setting, overlooking the lights of downtown Raleigh. And the bar ambience is great, very lively. My Airmail cocktail was first-rate , I’ll go back again for that. The light menu was good, they need to get their hot food to stay hot, but altogether a good place, fun to be in.
