We had an amazing time, was even able to be seated earlier than our reservation. Our server was spot on and made us feel valued and special. Took extra time and patience to take photos of us as well.

Walking around and trying to find this spot was so much fun and the door bell was such a neat touch. My man and I went to celebrate sweetest day & this is the coolest spot I’ve ever found! Food was amazing, drinks were strong and flavorful, service was top notch and the secret password made our night feel like an adventure. I’ll definitely be back! The Thai ribs and Wagyu strudel were our favorite dishes!

We loved the environment - the presentation of the cocktails was unique however I was hoping for a better tasting cocktail given that is a speakeasy, etc. Regarding the food, appetizers were delicious esp the gruyere however the entrees were just fine.
