Classified Reviews Summary

Ambiance

Pros:

• "5 stars alone for the ambiance away from the hustle and bustle."

• "It’s hidden location, and the way the space is designed and laid out, is really cool and does give off that exclusive vibe."

• "The place was quiet and secluded. Allowing for a really nice relaxed time."

• "The place is no longer a nice comfortable Oasis in Newark."
• "There was a very annoying, bothersome mechanical droning noise coming from nearby."
