My first and now only experience here was not a positive one. I made a reservation for 3:45 pm on Saturday, 12/13. The reservation time was 3:45-5:45 PM. At 1:30 pm the day of, I received a message from the restaurant stating there would be a 4:45 hard cutoff, as there was a private event at 5 pm. They did offer a credit to reschedule if I wanted, but the reservation was for their Christmas pop up, and there wouldn't be another day I was able to go. I messaged back stating the cut off was fine, as we didn't plan to spend a long time as it was. When we arrived, the host stated their manager had a plan for the basement, and spoke to her about us. This immediately made us feel uncomfortable. After a few moments, we were led to the pop up space, where two other small parties sat. We were not approached for 10 minutes, while the parties around us received their food and drinks. When we did have someone approach our table, our server was personable. However, we felt like an inconvenience the entire time. We ordered one drink, which took 15 minutes to arrive, and we were never asked if we wanted to order food. We did not finish our drinks, but paid and left less than 30 minutes into our reservation. Additionally, a 15% charge was placed on the bill, but was communicated nowhere except the check after paying. We left an additional, generous tip, which was not warranted, but the service industry is hard and I will always tip. From beginning to end, we felt like a problem to be solved, and we never once believed the restaurant wanted us there. The excitement over a holiday pop up was quickly lost, and I will never return to this establishment. I completely understand needing the space for an event. However, that was not my fault and I was not communicated to until the day of, when this event, assuredly, was not booked yesterday. A complete disappointment. Please avoid.

The manager was amazing! Isiah! He took care of us all evening making the night so special. Fabulous food, vibe and drinks! Highly recommend for a girls dinner out! We will be back

Service was great! Our server was attentive, and provided great suggestions. The decor downstairs the the pop was cute and cozy. I loved the Santa's side piece but our group tried all the pop up cocktails and we loved them all! Music down stairs would have added to the atmosphere the lack of background noise was kinda strange. I probably only noticed because I was expecting Christmas music to be playing in such a fun space. I'm looking forward to going back soon.

Went for the Christmas pop up bar and it was adorable! The drinks were really tasty and not too overwhelming strong like some of the holiday drinks tend to be. Service was great! We didn't get any food, just drinks but we will definitely be back for happy hour in the actual restaurant as some of those specials looked like such a great deal!

Took 30 minutes to seat. Chaotic. Loud. Really disappointed with entree. Had been at Church and Union in Charleston which was far superior. Spent a lot of money on not so good food. Wasted my money.

We went to eat here on Thanksgiving. They were very busy so we were seated at 7:15 for a 6:45 reservation, but that is my only negative. The food was great, the decor was unique and our server and bartender were excellent. I would go again to try their regular menu. Overall, we had a great dinner for a very reasonable price in comparison to what other restaurants in the area were charging for prix fixe.

They clearly oversold reservation times and they were understaffed. That being said, we only had a short wait. It seemed like we had several people bringing things to the table, but the water was full and the service was fast - especially for a holiday. The food was good, and the portions were huge. I felt like this was a great value, and I'd certainly return to try the regular menu.

I thought it was a very nice vibe. Good food. Nice music. Everything was festive and the people helping us with the food and drinks were outstanding. I would recommend this place for thanksgiving any day.

Went to the Christmas pop up bar! Such an amazing date night and wow did they crush the decor! It's definitely a must this holiday season!

The agniolotti was amazing as promised. Had some great small plates but the highlight was the million dollar bar for dessert! It was outstanding- aost ordered a second one. Service was great. Atmosphere was casual and we were able to sit in a quiet section. Only the wine selection (better wines by the glass) could be improved.

We had to check in three times for our reservation, which I think it was a little excessive. Checked in twice with the same person. We were seated probably 20 minutes after our scheduled reservation. Our server was great but just a little slow, but attribute that to a busy night.

Everything was great! Isaiah sold us trying the duck off which was the best old fashioned I have ever had! Great spot for drinks and apps!

I'm traveling from out of state and was extremely happy I decided to dine here. The tuna taters are a must try. The salmon entree I ordered was perfectly cooked. The ‘duck off' drink was something I had never seen before and absolutely loved it. Service was excellent. The manager (Isaiah) stopped by to chat for a bit, awesome guy. All around great experience.

I had amazing dinner experience this past Saturday at Church and Union in Denver. The service was great and the food was all delicious! I'd recommend the tuna taters and ricotta app for starters :)
