We've been here a few times already & this time went with my scotch loving in laws & as usual Bootlegger came through. The Sunday 1$ oyster deal was awesome. The oysters were fresh & the drinks were great. Also Felix was awesome! Definitely will be back soon!

A ne pas manquer ! Nous y sommes allés deux dimanches de suite (soirée jazz), l'ambiance est incroyable. Les cocktails (réalisés par des mixologues) sont divins, ils peuvent s'apprécier à l'apéritif, durant le repas, mais également certains peuvent s'apprécier comme un dessert (exemple : ISLAND'S TOUCH). On y mange également très bien, la qualité est au rendez-vous.
