We were disappointed in this restaurant. The decor and atmosphere was very nice but the food was not real good. The noise level was so loud you had to shout just talking to the people at your table. If you just want somewhere to go for drinks only, this is the place.

The restaurant is very nice and laid back. The venue has an upscale ambiance, with a casual vibe. The menu is limited but tasty. The house drinks I tried was the Floradora, light enough to taste each ingredient and on point. I also tried the buffalo cauliflower bowl. Interesting, not fried, tasted unseasoned with buffalo sauce. I will go back again, in the summer, when the roof top opens.

Our food tasted good although the fries were more warm than hot. We understand it’s newly opened, so not complaining about a few service issues. It was just so loud on the second floor that it was hard to hold a conversation. We plan to return when the roof is open for drinks and apps.

Wow! This place is a delightful addition to Munster’s food scene. It’s an upscale bar restaurant with an amazing casual vibe. I can’t wait for summer when the rooftop bar will be open. The atmosphere was incredible—it’s clear that a lot of time and money went into designing this place. We all felt right at home. The menu was incredibly creative, and we couldn’t resist trying everything. We started with some delicious mocktails and skipped the appetizers since we were only there for lunch. Next time, we’ll definitely try the appetizers, which looked amazing. The desserts were out of this world. I highly recommend the blueberry coffee cake with homemade gelato. The service was top-notch from the hostess to the waitress. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I can’t recommend this place enough. Before you go, check the menu—it’s definitely a pricey place, but you get what you pay for. If you’re looking for an amazing and fun upscale lunch or dinner, this is the spot. It’s definitely worth every penny!

It was a super experience from being seated immediately to the server really listening to our needs. We were in a little bit of a hurry. Every item we ordered tasted great. The Cuban was excellent as was the prosciutto pizza. But the surprise star was the side of mac and cheese. This was our first visit and we definitely will be back. Can't wait! Great variety on the menu and want to try all of it based on today's visit.

The wait was a little longer than expected, especially for having a reservation. However the energy, ambiance and service was pleasant. It was really nice to have an up beat good restaurant in the neighborhood. I expect it will be sensational with the rooftop bar in the warmer weather.

We loved the atmosphere, the drinks and the food! Happy to have this place nearby for date nights. My only complaint, the Brussels spouts were delish but waaaay too ridiculously greasy.

The place is very pleasing to the eye. However, the food is not appetizing at all! The drinks were good! I would go back for drinks and that’s about it!
