Vibe: Buzzing chaos with dim glimmers

The ambiance is a dimly lit stage for dining, romantic yet shadowy. The loud music battles for attention, leaving conversation in a chokehold, questioning whether it’s a date night or a loud gala.

  • Great Buzz

    Trendy, lively, Instagrammable spot with a great bar and celebrity sightings.

Perks: Service stalls amid the din

Parking is a shining star in the experience; however, reservations can lead to long waits and inattentive staff make meals feel like they take place in slow motion. Don't expect quick service; the pacing could qualify as an extreme sport.

  • Great Staff

  • Okay for Groups

    Can accommodate groups well but sometimes service or privacy lags.
