Food: Flavorless and overpriced food

Despite the Burrata & Pesto, Elote Rib Corn and Tempura Veggies being described as delicious, general feedback on taste and freshness point to a disappointing dining experience. Reports of blandness in the dishes, frozen and flavorless food items being served are commonplace. Coupled with high prices for such unimpressive dishes, the value proposition takes a severe hit. Not to mention the limited menu options that offer little to choose from.

  • Okay Taste

    Food descriptions vary from decent, okay, to good, with mixed sentiment.

  • Bad Value

    Prices high for drinks and food, with long wait times even weekday nights.

Vibe: Stylishly entertaining ambiance

The ambiance has often been described as trendy, chill and stylish, and the live music adds a fun, nostalgic and enjoyable atmosphere. The crafty cocktails are well-crafted, tasty, reasonably priced, and populated with a sufficient quantity of alcohol, making it a popular spot for social media posts. However, the outdoor view is let down as it's situated next to a busy street.

  • Great Drinks

    Craft cocktails well-crafted, tasty, reasonable price, good alcohol content.

  • Okay For Dates

    Suitable for dates but can be loud or crowded at times.

  • No Views

    Some outdoor seating is next to a busy street, obstructing views.

Perks: Frustrating parking and noise

Parking is reported as a horrendous experience due to expensive lots, difficult street parking, and an overall frustrating experience. Noise levels are intolerably high making conversations difficult, combined with unavailable reservations that lead to long waits. Outdoor area can get overcrowded and lacks covering or shading. The venue offers limited menu for dietary needs and some dishes are perceived as plain.

  • Great For Groups

    Ample seating options accommodating both large groups and intimate gatherings.

  • Hard To Hear

    Super loud environment, making conversations difficult to have.
