    Open concept kitchen, interesting menu and whimsical drinks make this a great place to eat. The spicy bloody Mary is delicious as was the salmon bagel. Highly suggested. Not inexpensive.

    the Thanksgiving menu food was very disappointing. They tried to be creative but the flavors and combinations were off. the worst was the soupy mashed potato dish, but there were close seconds. the salad and the dessert were okay.

    A fun restaurant across from the Huntington Plaza. The ambience was vibrant and friendly. The cocktail game was very good, especially if you get to know Thomas (one of the mixologists). The food menu was a little limited but what was available was excellent. I must say, the Short rib may have been the best I’ve ever had. My wife and loved the whole experience.

    Their Vinyl Brunch was cool, enjoyed the ambiance, vintage & eclectic decor and furniture. The food was delicious, I had the biscuits & gravy and sister had the firehouse breakfast. Their Christmas decorations are beautiful & elegant. I would’ve given 5 stars across the board if the kitchen had gotten my eggs right.

    Very elegant dining style! The parking was great as far as the valet and the restaurant decor was fabulous. Inside was a bit crowded we actually sat right next to others but overall the service was great and the lighting was excellent as well. The food was limited some things are better than others. But we had a great time it was a great experience!
