The burger, though modest in size, didn't quite justify its price due to the lower quality of the meat. However, the restaurant made up for it with a generous portion of potato wedges & a fresh, well-prepared salad, both of which were delightful. The drinks were exceptional, & the service was attentive. The decor & atmosphere created a warm & inviting ambiance, making the experience enjoyable. I would consider returning.

August 2024: pleasant service from Tony. Music was a little boring this time around even on a Friday late night. Blood & Sand was a nice cocktail. May 2024: Smoking Lisa & IDK were great. The minty mocktail had a bit of a mouthwash taste to it. Music was top notch, we were dancing in our chairs. Service was pretty slow this time around unfortunately. December 2023: Fun decor, gold rush was a good cocktail, jungle was alright. Service was friendly & attentive. My friend enjoyed his martini.

Beautiful bar & great experience overall. We reserved tables for 10pm on Saturday night & got to enjoy beautiful cocktails. It's a lot of fun watching the mixologists make these drinks. The ambience is very chill & cool decor also. Def worth a stop.

Cool bar! Our server Felix was amazing. Oysters were delicious. Burgers with foie gras were very good but it was cold. All in all we had a great time.

Cool vibes & great service - Remy & Tony were so friendly & made our night! On the weekend make a reservation at least a couple hours in advance because it gets busy.
