Superbe ambiance! cependant, très peu de service. Nous avons attendu notre nourriture pendant 1h30. Les serveuses étaient assises dos à nous en écoutant Netflix, nous avons dû nous lever pour leur demander où en était notre commande. Mais nourriture est bonne!

Really enjoyed the Sunday night jazz + $1 oysters. Great venue, show, & the staff was top notch. Thanks to Remus for teaching me more about absinthe as he was expertly serving it to me. The host really went above & beyond as well, though I don't believe I caught his name. Highly recommend!

Really good oysters & the cocktail selection is impressive. A bit pricey & the portions are a bit small but the seafood tastes so fresh & the dishes are really tasty. Wouldn't recommend for a date because it's kind of noisy. Service was great & bathrooms were really clean.
