"Great burger, amaaaazing truffle queso."
"The french toast sticks were absolutely delicious, soft and pillowy."
"The spicy chicken sandwich was to die for."
"Everything our group ordered was good, if not great."
"The food was amazing, especially the cheeseburger."
"The spicy chicken sandwich with fries had great flavor."
Cons:
"Eggplant dip was salty. Couldnβt taste the eggplant."
"The dates has almonds in the middle. Not great. Parm would have been much better."
"The Mac and cheese was just a tad too salty for me."
"The food isn't expensive either to balance the pricey drinks out."
"Not to mention the food was cold and bland."
"First, I almost swallowed a rubber band that was into my salad!"
"Today was really disappointing and I donβt think they will stay open for too long."

"Staff is friendly, drinks are tasty, and the food is delicious."
"Staff were friendly and quick to help with ordering."
"The bar manager, Matt, somehow placed drinks in our hands within minutes of ordering."
"The staff here is attentive, friendly, and has good recommendations."
Cons:
"The only place you can order food is at the bar from the bartender, who is of course busy making drinks for everyone else."
"Took over an hour when it says 20-30 mins then half my food was missing and there is no # to call them in google."
"Fun vibe, but the middle aged white male bartender has terrible energy and was rude to several people in our party when we were ordering drinks."
"Stopped by to place an order for food, but apparently the staff here is too busy flirting to give any attention to would be customers."
"The service was terrible; the bartender would come to our table and say our drink was ready but never brought it."
"Prepare to wait a LONG time for service until the staff is done taking shots with customers or drinking their own cocktails behind the bar."
"The servers/bus boys are way too aggressive. They don't even let you take the final sip before they take it."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Comforting atmosphere, brunch all day long any day."
"Best cocktail bar in the neighborhood by a good stretch."
"The music is super vibey."
"It's a cool vibe, music in the background, but not so loud that guests can't hold conversations."
"Really nice place with dim lighting and music to get you dancing."
"This is the most fun spot to chill at."
"Great wallpapers and lighting in bright airy space with comfortable bar booths."
Cons:
"Cocktails are pretty good. If you don't like loud restaurants and bars, I would avoid this place."
"Good vibes but music too loud."
"Only caveat: the music can be too loud to have a normal conversation."
"Also, it's winter, no reason to have it be FREEZING cold in there."
"I had to lower my rating due to the volume of music being unpleasantly loud."
"Bad customer service to brown people (women)."
"None more than last night, at 5.30pm on a Saturday trying to order a glass of red wine, only to be told by the bartender they were not only out of the Malbec I ordered, but had run out of ALL red wine."
Drinks
Pros:
"Drinks are really good and bartenders are cool however they get slammed since there is one maybe two people working making all the drinks."
"I ordered the Call to Arms drink and it is honestly one of the best gin drinks I've ever had!"
"The drinks were phenomenal (mezcal Negroni; copy of a copy; search and destroy) and the food was delectable."
"The lemonades and juice were perfect, great taste, very fresh."
"Cocktails are π₯."
"Pricey, but well-made and innovative cocktails (though some you're paying for ice more than the alcohol /a flavor)."
"Nobody Told Me has some phenomenal cocktails."
Cons:
"The drink was decent but I would try a different one when I come back."
"Drinks are creative but does not mean they taste good."
"In no world should a low-ball glass of DIET COKE FROM THE BAR SPOUT be 5 bucks (before tip!) That's ridiculous."
"Assemble the Empire was on the sweet side, but good for people that would enjoy something berry forward."
"this is by far the worst restaurant i have ever been in NYC. The staff is rude, the drinks are basically a 17$ cup of ice and the service is a disaster."
"'Happy Hour' menu items are roughly $2 less than the non-happy hour menu, which is pointless in my opinion."
"None more than last night, at 5.30pm on a Saturday trying to order a glass of red wine, only to be told by the bartender they were not only out of the Malbec I ordered, but had run out of ALL red wine."
