    Great cocktails. Unpleasant service, especially by our server (the bartender was ok). Food was ok, not more than that.

    You could tell that the hostess didn’t wanna be there and she wasn’t very friendly, even though there was only two other couples in the whole restaurant!

    Michael, thank you for letting us know about your experience. We always want our guests to have the best experience possible, and it seems we missed the mark during your visit.

    This space is beautiful. Very much so grown and sophisticated vibes. However, it took too long for the waiter to greet our table. Even saying “I will be right with you,” can go a long way. Avoiding eye contact is distasteful. Besides the waiter’s poor service skills, the drinks were amazingly delicious and came quickly.

    Had a very delicious fun drink Hunger is the best sauce but when ordered food I wanted from very small menu they were sold out. Disappointing. Atmosphere very cool and loved the seating.

    Tracy, thank you for letting us know about your experience. While we’re glad the cocktails impressed, we’re disappointed to hear we fell short when it came to food. We're sorry that our full menu wasn't available and will be sure to take this back to our team to avoid this happening again. Our goal with Vol. 39 is to deliver innovative cocktails in an sophisticated, yet approachable environment, and we missed the mark. We hope that we have the chance to exceed your expectations in the future. Cheers, The Team at Vol. 39
