Was out of certain items that was on the menu, very cold and not alot of space. Not worth the money spent. But the Lamb Chops were good. Had to settle for what they had....
Great vibe. Small venue. Drinks and wine are overpriced. Wines by the glass are mediocre. Good service.
Love the ambiance and live music but service has been horrendous both times and glasses are ALWAYS sticky.
Love the quaint atmosphere, but the cocktails were expensive and tiny. Any vegetarian options, food was pricy and mediocre. One of our servers never came back once she took our order the first time. Spent almost 200 dollars for 2 sips worth per drink, 4/10 food and poor service
My wife and I wanted to experience this establishment after hearing good things about it. Unfortunately there was a large party in the space, which was very very loud. We had the smallest table (the food and drinks were tight fitting) and were barely paid attention to. My wife asked for a drink which they had at the Rooftop bar, but did not have it at the Speakeasy. No offer to bring one down. Food was good. Service & ambiance, as well as recovery, was nominal. Disappointing overall.
Ok speakeasy but not much fun - very low key
super cute and intimate speakeasy. the food was really good for it just being bar food. loved loved their live jazz sessions

Rooftop was closed for a private event so my sister and I decided to give the “speakeasy” a whirl. Space is small and intimate with a small but well-optioned food menu and variety of cocktails and drink options. Live music was an unexpected, but lovely touch (apparently this is every night at 7!). The best component of the experience, however, was bartender Reza. He was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly hospitable. Would go back just to have another drink served by and some fun conversation with Reza!

Online noted it was open till midnight. They decided to close two hours early.. Not classy when you can’t keep website updated for out-of-town guests. Unacceptable…. Go somewhere else or call to verify

Great jazz artists! We had a bonus that night when other artists joined from the “audience”, We didn't eat there, but drinks were good. Note that a 20% gratuity will be automatically added to the bill.
The ambiance was great. The cocktails were unique and delicious. The souve beef tenderloin was wonderful the corn that was served with it was very spicy. The flatbread bruschetta was disappointing, had no flavor, and couldn't taste the garlic or basil. Tomatoes were to be parboiled but they were raw. The food overall was underwhelming and expensive. The Jazz trio was fabulous.
This place is not what it used to be, two or three years ago I would have given this place five stars as it was a true “speakeasy”, today it is just an average bar with a passcode. None of the drinks are truly special and are all watered down. The servers have zero personality and there is no magic or uniqueness that you expect from other speakeasy. The current owners have cheapened the experience and feels like dining at an average hotel bar on a business trip.

Love the live band and ambience of the venue. I do t care for the food but the drinks are really good. I definitely recommend this spot.
