  • "The ambiance and atmosphere are what really blew me away."

Cons:

Cons:

  • "Drinks are fairly pricey- lowest being around $20 and honestly I didn't think they lived up to the price tag."
  • "Cocktails tasted great but they’re expensive."
  • "No Hennessy, no bailey's, don't make espresso martini's."
  • "Their signature ones are tasty but classic ones like an espresso martini was very sweet and basic."
  • "The drinks are decent, but not the best you've ever had, and made with mid-shelf liquor."
  • "The cosmo was not served in a triangular cup (as it should) it had no taste of alcohol at all, it was citrus juice."
  • "A little expensive for happy hour."

Management Policies

Pros:

  • "The manager even came over to check on my group and was very friendly and charismatic."
  • "Managers Maggie and Jamal even came and introduced themselves as they could see I was a new customer and made sure I was happy."

  • "The managers/hosts are bizarrely rude and obsessed with tables/seating."
  • "They have a bizarre policy of a max party size of 6 despite the place being mostly empty."
  • "We were told very rudely by the male bald manager that we absolutely can not do that."
  • "Was told we could bring a party of 7... they demand we all leave - immediately, without time to finish drinks."
  • "Management will kick you out for no reason even when you spend 500+ they don't care about anyone but themselves and they deserve to be shut down."
  • "There seems to be an overly aggressive manager who runs the place who makes the staff seem extremely uncomfortable."
