    It’s a hidden gem, from the minute we walked in till we left we we weee treated extra well, staff are very knowledgeable which makes conversations pretty interesting. I will come back again and again. Give the bartender/mixologist an idea about what you are looking for and she will come up with something out of this world. Thank you to all for making our last stop an unforgettable experience.

    Server was so knowledgeable and helpful. Menu was hefty but the server helped us determine what we would like and it was spot on. My group ended up trying almost every cocktail on the menu and none disappointed.
