During the holidays they only give you a 60 min dining window which makes you feel so rushed. If you’re going out for drinks with friends, you want to be able to talk and sip and enjoy conversation and 60 mins just isn’t enough time. They should make it min 90 min like most other places.

The fact that you could only stay for 1 hour is nuts. Drinks weren’t great, service okay.

They just have a 1 hour for reservations even for big groups. We were 5 and even before we were siting the waitress was so rude with a pressure and a rush that we got so stressed that honestly we didn’t enjoy . Every time the waitress was coming to the table was with the timing pressure in a rude way even we already knew about the timing limitation. I’d avoid to come at least over weekends; not worth it .

Ambience for the season was nice but it was very noisy. Drinks were good, a little pricey - I can see myself going back when they get their cocktail deals back on the menu.

I didn't love the one hour time limit, I would have preferred 1.5 or 2 hours especially since the service was behind. I understand wanting to get as many customers in as possible but I don't think 1 hour is feasible.

Holiday bar is not managed well. We felt rushed as our table was only for 1 hour and we had 3 time warnings. also with our 15 minute warning we were asked if we wanted another round, when there was no way we could have had a second round?

Felt a bit rushed to order 3 menu items and 2 drinks and only be given a table for 1 hour on a Tuesday but overall it was good.
