The lounge has intimate vibes with nice booths, private tables for two with curtains, and solid wood tables for larger parties. It is tastefully decorated with faux-windows that create a speakeasy atmosphere, making it feel like a cool lounge, not just a restaurant. Live music features original musicians and locals, while the cocktails are creative, and the wine list is good. Although the menu can be a bit expensive for what you get, the overall experience is enjoyable.
