it is complete pandemonium in there. bouncers walking by will try to take your food from you before you are done. our check got messed up with another table’s which was alright but the staff handled it very poorly. cute aesthetic but nor worth the headache and mediocre food.

My mom & I made a special trip here for their Taylor Swift inspired coffee flights! The flavors were amazing & delicious each in their own way and the baristas were lovely young women. The atmosphere was a vibe! They played Taylor Swift songs and my mom & I even got into hours of conversation with a lovely local woman. The donuts were a delicious bonus! Will definitely be back!

Lost my jacket, bartender said it wasnt there and they have no clue. Sent my friend to go in and ask for a jacket. Same bartender then "found it"

Stopped here for one drink with a friend while waiting for our table at a nearby restaurant. Was charged $80 on a $35 bill. When I called to resolve the issue, was always sent to a voicemail inbox that was full. Management also doesn't respond to emails or messages via instagram. Just saying, be careful and hold on to those receipts! Also, the place smelt super bad, like a bar that had just been deep cleaned after a gross night out but they weren't able to get the smell entirely out.

Wasn’t the vibe that we were expecting on a Friday night. Their kitchen was closed.

This Miami-themed bar has potential, but it it is an absolute dump. For starters, the bouncers pretend it is some exclusive club and make you wait an arbitrarily long time to enter. Then you get in and barely anyone is there. The drinks are expensive and weak, while the bartenders are unfriendly. If you want to go upstairs (which is a duplicate of the downstairs fyi), you are subjected to another line. The bathrooms are dirty and the place is a huge gimmick overall. The biggest offense is the music, which is basically Top 40 from 2003; no mixing, and no live DJ. Finally, there are a lot of creepy men here looking to prey on young girls, so be vigilant if you're in the mid-20s to mid-30s range looking to have fun with your friends. There are much better spots in the North End if you look around.

Jess S is by far the most amazing and beautiful bar tender. Like this girl should be running a whole joint with her personality and hospitality.

She needs a raise to manager and bartender. Don’t lose her as a bartender but pay her as a CEO.

I went on Thursday night and took a minute to get a drink even though I had a seat. Whatever the drink is with the flamingo is so delicious you cant even taste the alcohol. If you like fruity and sweet its the drink for you. Music is not really my kind of vibe nor is the atmosphere to be honest. Also they refused to give me more than two drinks and Im not a fan of that so I had to then bar hop.

Shout out to the solo bartender holding it down after the Celtics parade. This place is super cute inside and the drinks were top notch.
