I am very picky about food and restaurants, and I have to say this place exceeds expectations. From the food, the drinks, the service and the vibe, everything is a 10/10. I mean it when I say this is my favorite restaurant in the twin cities. Huge shout out to the owner Ralena and bar tender Josie. They really knock it out of the park!! :)

I once loved this place. I'm not sure what happened, but the food is now average and the drinks overpriced. It seems restaurants like this, increased the price, but lowered the quality..

We LOVED this place! The vibe/atmosphere was great, the service was friendly, the food was delicious and the cocktails were AMAZING! The servers were knowledgeable. We were able to be ourselves. My husband was impressed by the BA server behind the bar making drinks. Our server, Jess, was top notch! She was honest and helpful and attentive. She recommended suggestions for the rest of our date night (music for the drive and movies for when we get home) and we are excited to try them out! We’ll be back (if not for the cocktails and food, then for sure for Jess!)!

Great cocktails and very good dinner spot for price compared to similar fares in the cities. The mussels are really good.

We love the food and we typically have a great experience here (we usually sit at the bar) but unfortunately, this time was not as great.
Amazing things: Food! So good, probably the best pork chop I've ever had. Price! Reasonably priced (food and drinks). Drinks are delicious BUT our server made it clear that their cocktails are batch and we can not sub out the spirit. That seemed strange.
Not so amazing things: One bathroom with a sticky door, you really have to throw your shoulder into it. So loud. Tables are close together so it makes it really tough to hear with all the conversations going on. Auto 20% gratuity, restaurants are moving away from this. Allows for servers to provide sub par service or rely on good servers to do all the work and bad servers to still get good tips. Batched cocktails- I know they mix t he drinks together but if I want Mexcal in place of tequila in a drink, the bartenders at a cocktail lounge should be able to do that... according to our server, they could not. Hostess, she didn't say a thing to us when we walked in. I know the younger generation is really struggling to interact with humans nowadays but no hello, follow me, here's you table. Nothing just walked away from the host stand and dropped menus and waters on a table and walked away. Needs a little training.

Great happy hour. Good food on happy hour menu. The only downside to this place is that when it starts getting busy it is extraordinarily loud.

Love this place! The food is always amazing, and they have an excellent cocktail and wine list. I ordered their version of the Aviation, Angel's in the Garden. Delightful!

A hidden gem in the Mac-Groveland neighborhood. These are the best cocktails that we've had since moving to Saint Paul. The menu is extensive and has options for every spirit and every flavor profile. We love going here for date nights and also bringing out of town visitors in. Check it out!

Didn't have reservations, so sat out front in the lounge. Perfect for a chat, drinks and food. Pisco sour, white wine, can't remember the other drink. Baked goat cheese spread was seriously good. Shrimp po' boys also delicious. Excellent service.
