A really underrated part of this cocktail bar is how dialed in the service is. Just great hospitality. They always have servers near to make sure you're being taken care of & they turn over drinks quickly. The space is beautiful, & the vibe & atmosphere are on point. Really impressive, overall. The cocktails were amazing, too!

Every time I come here, I'm always happy when Nico is at the bar. He is very professional, super nice, & always has the best energy. His drinks are amazing, but also his personality makes the whole place feel even better. Nico really gives something special to the bar. I hope when you come, you have the chance to meet him & have the full experience.

I had a fantastic time there. The waitress'Camille', was an absolute sweetheart, professional, & patient. To the point that she re-adjusted the flavour of the drink of the person that i was with, in order to make sure that they were content with the flavour of the drink.
Great place to hang out & chill , or first dates for example.
