Our server and the staff were amazing! We came in to celebrate a birthday and they made our night so special. The complimentary items were a surprise that added to our positive experience. The overall vibe and ambiance was lovely! I acknowledge you're a sushi place, but a few more vegan or vegetarian options would have been appreciated as 2 of the 5 people at our table were vegetarians.

Billy's is a fun vibe for our family to hang out when our adult children are back in town. We love the cocktails (hypnotize, paper planes, and disco inferno) and sushi. And the music is great for both 50-somethings and 20-somethings.

The ambiance was nice, love the privacy. Expensive for the amount you get. You will leave hungry.

Drinks were great and sushi was good! The music was INCREDIBLY loud but they played bangers so thats a plus.

My husband and I were there to celebrate our anniversary yesterday. The minute we were seated we served a glass of champagne to celebrate on the house. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. We cannot wait to come back. 10 out of 10!

We've gone to BAD at least once a year since it opened and we loved the vibe and ambience. The music and decor are modern and fun and making a reservation well in advance is 100% the smart move. We used to loved the allure of the menu when it used to be descriptions of the “vibes” of the drink in the menu and we were really bummed to see that the menu changed so there's only ingredients listed and no “vibe” description. The drinks did not come in fun glasswear like the bird flute or have any fun special effects like smoke or any fun garnishes. The initial service was good but the wait for drinks was a bit long, our waitress gave us complimentary Hi-Chew Shots that were delicious.

Gabby is fabulous and a very attentive server. She put effort into our anniversary to really make us feel welcome and celebrated.

Reserved two spaces at the bar and confirmed several times throughout the day (why they needed us to confirm 4 times?) and when we arrived on-time, were instructed that no bar space was available and was given away to others. Talked to the manager (Jack) and he shrugged his shoulders, amazingly poor customer service and experience. This is also no speakeasy, more of an impersonal and loud nightclub or shall we say nightmare!!!

I made a reservation two days in advance after reading a lot of reviews and the need for reservations. I selected bar seating because we enjoy being side by side and visiting with the bar tenders in the hundreds of speakeasy's and cocktails bars we visit around the country! I confirmed the reservation multiple times through the Open Table texts and emails-it felt like I did this 4 times which I find interesting. Upon arrival we indicated we were here for our reservation and intended to have food/dinner. We were directed to the tiniest little cocktail table that was barely large enough for two cocktails. We mentioned we made reservations at the bar, and asked to be reseated, but we were scoffed at and told there were no such reservations available and we needed to just sit where directed. Our server came for drink orders, and we asked who the manager was to try and correct the seating. She indicated the manager was the rude gentleman that scoffed at us. The environment is not cozy or inviting. It's loud, with night club music and uncomfortable seating that offer no intimacy or allow for gentle conversation. You cannot hear yourself think nor enjoy conversation with the person across the table from you. The manager did come by the table later -announced he had visited open Table and didn't realize there was an option for bar seating on their reservation page. He comped us 2 drinks. While a kind gesture-that first impression stung. Our drinks were nice, one more was ordered, bar tender's choice using tequila and mezcal. The drink came with only tequila. A second bar tender's choice was brought to the table without ordering it. It was nice-however was on our bill. It was not ordered -but we had to pay for it??? We ordered two sushi rolls which were the best part of the experience. The reviews and online hype indicate something very different than we found. Not again-no thanks.

Chocolate ice cream was great, cheese cake and chocolate cake were average. Drinks are over priced. Staff was nice and attentive. Clean environment.

Katie

Excellent, fun “private club” environment. Exceptional service, delicious food and drinks. 90's music on point.
