Service was horrible. He chose my tip & literally told me the machine done it when he clicked on next LoL I said start it over, I wanna see, & of course nothing like he described happened. He must have thought that I am stupid or something. I didn't tip him for this; he literally lost a chance of 30% tip because of his arrogance & lie. He did another ridiculous thing to my friend with pricing & lied that "sorry, it's our policy". & my friend is a quite whiskey drinker & he knows how pricing works for extra whisky shots. Anyways, my friend went to somebody else, I guess that guy was one of the owners, & thankfully he apologized for what the waiter did, & paid my friend back. & also if you are into quiet luxury, stay away from this place. It's more for rich people who can only satisfy with showing off, not for people looking for quality over quantity. Sorry not sorry.

Is it expensive? Yes. But it's worth it!!! The food is insanely good, & seriously they make the best cocktails I've ever had. I'm not talking about their signature cocktails. Every single cocktail you order will be beautifully balanced, the best you ever had. The bartender at this place is a genius. The BEST dirty gin martini I've ever had, including the ones I make for myself. Just wow.
