Our waitress was very kind and recommended some amazing drinks based on what I would normally drink. I hate that I can’t remember her name but she was an excellent waitress. The food was great! Ambiance was wonderful! After dinner we stepped into the speakeasy and sat at the bar. I was very pressed with our bartender Trace. Made some excellent cocktails. I asked him what was his favorite drink to make and he explained what was in the drink and I was sold. He got everything together then reminded me that it was in fact a Gin cocktail and I was perfectly fine with it. The drink is called “Army , Navy” and it was delicious. I even ordered a second one. The music was great and would have loved to stay longer but I had to leave. Next time I’m definitely reserving a table at “Busy Signal” also! Highly recommend!
