Love the look of this place. with the boxes of scotch going up the stairs. The foie gras is delicious but the rest of their food is very dissapointing. Chicken burger tasted like it should be in elementary school cafeteria, salad has too much dressing. The drinks & scotches are pricey. Avoid their version of the Paloma ( i typically like all palomas even canned versions & nearly sent this one back)!! the service is very slow, there were no more than 8 occupied tables when we arrived & multiple servers but took over 15 min to get a cocktail & a long time for each course. We also had out finished plates on the table for over 45 min after we were done, had time to order another round & get served & no one removed the plates.

The atmosphere is very cool here with great ambiance. It's pretty busy & you may need a reservation or have to wait for a bit. The mix drinks were great, very well done, & there's a huge list of different whiskey flights

I had Felix as my bartender & he is fabulous 👌 👏 I had the Peach Julep, then Absinthe, then Whiskey Sour. Drinks are made with love & are delicious. I had the spinach salad & olives as I already had dinner. They were delicious!
