Nice change up from Bakersfield's typical & honestly not overly pricy. Service was a bit slow & had to be reminded about at least 1 order after 20 minutes of waiting. Ordered an aviator Martini & had two different mixologists & two different servers come ask me about the drink, & there were two crucial ingredients missing.
