   Shrimp tacos were good, spicier than what I expected. Fish & chips were average. The Old Fashion was missing the cherry, my dinner companion was very disturbed by this. I recommend specifying your preferred bourbon. Since you can tell what bourbon they use I would question if the are making it right. Service was slow and the waiter was not very attentive. It was a slow night and not many people in the restaurant so we were perplexed why the service was not better.

   Overall I had a great experience. The server was great and really paid attention to my table. Got the Smashburger which is always a hit, also got the side of Mac with lobster. Adding lobster to the Mac is $14, which I thought was egregious, I will never be getting that again. Other than that I enjoyed my experience. Sidenote: bring back the banana foster French toast AND the short rib Benedict to the brunch menu!!!

   The food was average and the cocktails just okay. It's overpriced for what you get. If you're curious, maybe try it for brunch, but I wouldn’t recommend it for dinner.

   I went for brunch and everything was perfect and the live music was a big bonus! It felt like a little European cafe.

   The food was fine but undercooked meat had to be sent back and then the order from one of the people in the group was wrong and it took a long time to get the right food out. service was just ok. asked for ketchup and waited 20 min for that. just an underwhelming experience. nothing awful, but not great.

   Not great, this place has really gone downhill and the prices have gone uphill. It took forever for us to get someone to take our order, maybe understaffed. But then our food came out super fast, but unfortunately it was all cold, like it had been sitting there and was pre-made. My bowl was $20 for quinoa, beans, one egg, avocado, and plantains. Not worth it. Everything on the menu was overpriced.

   Let me just say the place is really nice. The hostess sat us down and my friend and I ordered a drink while we were waiting on others to join us. The waitress then tell us that we will need to leave by 4, because the restaurant was having a private event. Our reservations were at 2:30, needless to say we were not going to have enough time. So we needed to find another place to go. I would have appreciated a call in advance letting us know this. I could not give a decent review because of this.

    First time dining here and overall enjoyable. In the weekend, they only serve from the brunch menu until dinner. the food was good, but on the more expensive side for what it is. A cocktail will run you $20/drink. Live music was cool to have - a little loud but not bad. Overall liked it and glad to have tried it!

    Thank you, Rachel, for giving us a try. We're delighted you enjoyed the live music and overall atmosphere. We take great pride in the quality and craftsmanship that goes into each cocktail, and we hope to convey that value to each guest. We hope you'll join us again soon!
