Val and Hannah were amazing!!! They were attentive, kind and friendly. The food was delicious and served quickly. We ordered the pizza and the crust was simultaneously soft and crispy without being oily. Would recommend!!

Fantastic hidden gem just off Dupont Circle. Three distinct levels: a dark, cozy speakeasy downstairs, a stylish Italian restaurant on the main floor, and a warm, inviting wine bar upstairs. Bartenders Mina and Lauren are smart, fun, and exceptional at what they do—great conversation, even better drinks. My girlfriend and I will definitely be making this a regular stop.

I had high expectations based on the volume of positive reviews. My friend and I made a reservation for two, arrived on time, and was promptly greeted by the hostess, who seated us in the speakeasy area downstairs. She said she would return with menus, but she did not. Several bartenders walked past without checking in or at least offering water. When I flagged a bartender, she said she would be right back to take our order, but she never returned. I waved her down a second time and was again unable to place an order. We ultimately retrieved menus ourselves and left after approximately 35 minutes without receiving service. It’s disappointing, because the ambiance was decent. I’m glad others have had a better experience. I never will find out.

We went in last weekend, it quickly became out new cocktail spot. Tried the Ilicio, Fig whisky sour and Chai espresso, they are amazing and you can see that the bartenders put a lot of effort on them. Service is really good, everyone is super friendly and dedicated. Don't miss out on this speakeasy!!!
This place is definitely a hidden gem in the heart of DuPont. I came here for Valentine’s Day and my experience was beyond amazing. I could see the staff members and managers worked very hard for this day to happen the best way possible and they even took the time to put rose petals on the tables. Cocktails were well balanced and we even got to try the wine machine tasting which was something I’ve never seen before. After that we got to see some fire at the bar in Sabina as we were walking out. Amazing spot, definitely will be back!
