Fantastic experience celebrating my birthday.
Kevin was more than patient and went out of his way to make sure we were being tended to all night. I would absolutely recommend everything about this spot.
The cocktails, the food and the great experience were top notch 😌🥰

This is a total vibe! The decor is incredible – it’s like stepping into another world, and the live music just adds the cool atmosphere. The service was on point, super friendly and helpful. Everyone was smiling! Even the performer smile for the duration of the three hour performance. And the food! The food was delicious! I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a unique dining experience and really yummy food!

Went here for Valentines Day and had the pre-fix menu. Food and service was awesome. Dylan was our server and when they were sold out of what I wanted on the menu he worked to get me something similar that I loved! Highly recommend
