    Excellent place for brunch in an atrium setting, if you like brunch did other than pancakes and other standards. Innovative, trendy, cocktails looked incredible.

    We enjoyed a fun and festive happy hour with light appetizers in the early afternoon. The vibe was trendy and chic, with a lively atmosphere filled with conversations and upbeat music. We were seated promptly, though it took about 7-8 minutes for a server to notice us. This gave us some extra time to decide on our drinks and food. Once we placed our order, the drinks and appetizers arrived quickly. However, when it came time to settle the check, we had to flag down our server, which added a slight hiccup to the experience. Overall, it was a great spot with lots of potential. If the service were a bit more attentive, this could easily be a five-star experience.

    This is the second year in a row we showed up with reservations THAT HAD BOOKED FOR MONTHS and were told that they have been canceled due to a last-minute event being scheduled. 0/10 recommend.

    The staff is friendly and helpful, but the experience falls short. The main room was booked for a private event, so the promised rooftop view was unavailable. Bathrooms were poorly maintained, with a non-flushing toilet and a broken trash can. There’s no happy hour, drinks are overpriced at $25, and the 90-minute table limit feels restrictive. Overall, not worth it—skip this place.

    Definately not like the pictures. The place is small and dated. Bathroom was disgustingly dirty. Totally an overpriced restaurant food was okay and expensive. I don’t mind paying a lot for good food, but this place was not worth it. The staff was friendly, but this restaurant/bar has seen better days.

    Brunch menu is limited. Portions are small. They don’t have coffee creamer. They only had regular milk and almond milk. Bathroom needs to be updated. It”s like an airplane bathroom.

    The ambiance was great but the service was basically nonexistent, I had to go the hostess to get someone to bring my check because we only had our server come by to take our order and then never again.

    Super cute and worthy of a instagram post. Happened to be there when it wasn’t crowded. Good drinks and food. The ambience and decor is I loved. Service was just ok though could be more attentive and I went to get my own glass.

    We hadn’t realised this was a bar with food but decided to stay. There are no real views and it’s very dark! The food was limited but nice and the staff helpful, it’s not really suitable for anyone with walking issues as stairs from the lift But great for young people on a night out.
