Me & my fiancé’s favourite little spot. The Love Potion cocktail was my favourite, & the charcuterie was unmatched. Can’t find another place quite like this.

Very cool speak easy with good tapas and very unique drinks
This is a really offbeat, engaging establishment, discreetly located, strong on character, with a genuine commitment to quality and service. It's essentially a speakeasy atmosphere but sparing us the usual ‘secret password' inconveniences etc. It's not inexpensive but nothing's expensive really unless something goes wrong— and I didn't see that happen here. A very knowledgeable and strong emphasis on craft cocktails but not tediously complex as in Bar Leather Apron and other various spots. They know what they're doing; mixologist Boo has it very very together. Insanely impressive spirits list, especially for dark spirits— Bourbon heaven. The emphasis on the cocktail menu offerings as good as they are is perhaps strong enough to an extent where one might feel almost ignorant or unappreciative simply by ordering a regular drink. But this place is straightforward and welcoming, cozy and focused. I would've thought I was in Manhattan.
Drinks: tasty and balanced They offer a nice selection of whiskey and whiskey and tequila cocktails; however, there wasn't very many vodka drinks. The ones offered seem too sweet and made with pre-made juice/syrups. The server recommended an off menu vodka cocktail that was nice and citrus forward so that was a nice accommodation for the lack of vodka cocktails on the menu. Food: Charcuterie platter included a variety of items, which were perfect for pupu! The fries were yummy with the different dipping sauces - especially liked the Serrano pepper dip, but beware - it IS spicy! ? Ambiance: Dark and moody - need a space for larger parties in main dining room that can seat 8+ ppl comfortably. Service: Server was friendly and accommodating; provided great drink recommendations! Enjoyed our visit and would return!!

Food portions were small on some of their items and did not equate with the price point. Kinda cool place to have drinks - but the drinks are pricey as well. Outdoor area looks cool but lots of dirty dishes left out on the table for the guests to see on their way to their tables inside the establishment.

Over priced food and drinksIt’s great if you want gold leaf in your food, otherwise there are better places

The service and food were superb. Valet is available for $5. I highly recommend this location and reservations. It has more of a dim light ambience with Spanish influences. You don't have to shout to hear others at your table either.
Love the creative hand-crafted cocktails, food menu and ambience. The flavors are thoughtfully balanced with unique edible garnishes that are very appealing. Our bartender and server were amazing too!

The food is expensive for what you get. We order a charcuterie board, the bread is ok (La Tour Cafe) the cheese was nothing memorable or really special. Also got french fries, beet salad and octopus, is not bad but wasn't what I expected. The drinks were ok. 200$ plus tip later, went home to eat some more, those tapas did not hit the spot. We sat in the patio, the ambiance inside maybe better.

Really nice location! Well designed and great ambiance. Drinks and drink choices were outstanding, especially for single malt fans. The food was simply SALTY. Go for the drinks and conversion. Would go again, but only drinks.

Our first experience was trying to get into the restaurant itself at the time of our reservation. Their front doors were locked and you had to pick up a service phone which was never answered. So after 10 minutes waiting out on the sidewalk. We walked around the side of the building and entered the back service entrance to get anyone's attention that we were there for our reservation. The staff that we met at the back service entrance was friendly and accommodating and quickly confirmed our reservation and moved us to our awaiting table, unfortunately, the tables that we were going to be sitting at were full of dirty dishes and we were not busted yet even though the restaurant was 80% empty?? The staff asked us to step back into the hallway while the tables were cleaned. After being sat at the table the staff quickly arrived with the menus. The menu consisted of five or so, pages of craft cocktails and alcoholic beverages, and two pages of food, so we ordered two entrées, two appetizers, and a dessert as well as two craft cocktails. The table service was quick and adequate, but they need to improve their attention to detail. twice they serve someone else's meal to our table, and when I asked for utensils for the table, they brought me a fork that's teeth were completely bent over so bad that it had to be obvious to the person that grabbed the fork. This is what I mean about paying attention... They simply did not. As the food arrived promptly, I could see that the portions were very small and served tapas style. The reason why my guest and I ordered two entrées. Generally in restaurants that provide tapas settings, the portions that are plated are high in quality and low in quantity. This restaurant is neither. We completed our dinner and ate the dessert of crème brûlée, which was excellent. As we walked outside to get into our car, we both looked at each other and gave the overall experience a total thumbs down.
