Rude wait staff (couldn't remember order 3 times) so I went to the bar for the forgotten drink. Rude bartender (couldn't make the drunk correctly) and they couldn't even get either one right. 8 customers, one hour wait for subpar service and one star food, all at a premium price. Don't waste your time.

Its a terrific place for happy hour snacks,Me and my bestie really love it.

Dietary restrictions: Depending on the severity of your dietary restrictions, I wouldn’t bother going into a place like that or actually most of the places downtown

Parking: There is a parking structure downtown that is a few blocks from the hot spots but worth it for not having to park on the street.

Kid-friendliness: Its a loud and busy bar, not for kids.I would not take my children downtown at night unless it’s a parade .

Don’t even get me started on the drinks! Huge selection of top shelf options and a fantastic crew to prepare whatever you request!

One star because you can’t pick zero, went there with friends from out of town-fried green beans were okay, food took well over an hour and a half to get there, wait staff was nice but nowhere to be found most of the time, the ribeye steak was a good size but had no seasoning, had a strange sweet almost honey flavor and undercooked and had a large amount of fat, same was true for my friend’s ribeye and even my other friends New York-never seen a New York with so much fat. Waitress was uninterested when shown the fat etc. won’t be going back, looked like they have a large selection of alcohol-they might reconsider serving food other than appetizers. Food was expensive too.

This place is kind of expensive and they served me burnt chicken on my fettuccine.
