We always enjoy our Wednesday Room experiences. This late night visit was elevated by our server Arsen(sp?). Superior service, knowledge, and wit make him a great addition to the team. Overall, great vibe and excellent cocktails (on and off menu)!

The staff was excellent, the waiter came through with an excellent cocktail recommendation - I was looking for a sangria which they did bot have but had a wine free take on a sangria that was amazing and hit the spot perfectly. The food was amazing and the price was very reasonable. Loved the vibe, the decor and the place as a whole. Would love to go back and enjoy the basement lounge next time.

Loved the vibe here, although it was fairly quiet for our early dinner before a play. Loved the cocktail menu and the cozy lounge feel in the lower level.

Service was really poor. We were there for ambiance and potentially have stayed longer. Don’t offer happy hour if you don’t even have it on print or it’s fine if you don’t but don’t be the “person” to be like you’re stupid and why don’t you know if it’s online! You tell me, why we’re here and we’ll be happy to oblige. Our team’s approach was friendly but the lady who served us was NOT. Too bad since I really like this place due to culturally this was built to be welcoming. Though staff? Need retraining. Better believe I shared this with close friends and they ALL agree - TERRIBLE SERVICE. Management change might not be a bad idea perhaps an audit if staff changes are not inevitable.
