Came here for The New Year event spent $400 on reservations that came with 1 free round of cocktails and your idea of food was a bowl of chips and pieces of a charcuterie board baby sized snacks (hard mini triangle shaped sandwiches with pimento cheese, hard bread served with a pork meatball, and hard bread with a block of cheese and 2 non-rinsed grapes.) What are we having snack time at the Boys & Girls Club?? Y'all may as well gave us peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with applesauce and a Koolaid Jammer. The manager Cameroon was rude, disingenuous, and unprofessional whenever we had a concern about the quality of our experience. Our tables had pre-poured glasses of water and the water had been sitting for about 10-20 minutes before we arrived. When we requested new water they were defensive and argumentative. The gratuity was $86 so we still left spending an extra $200 and the DJ was trash and begging for cashapps and cash payments to request a song. One of the women's restrooms was out of order. The place is supposed to be esteemed and high-end but I've had better drinks, food, and experience at Third Street Social. A WASTE OF MONEY. NOT WORTH THE PRICE AT ALL. Not DEMURE. The food was very chintzy.

This place although beautiful is severely overpriced! I had just 2 Vodka Crans were I was charged an extra $2 for Cranberry juice. On top of that, there was a charge for Gratuity plus another charge for paying with a card and not cash. To hide their price gouge they just give out non-itemized receipts. No way I’m going back to that place

Great service. Magnificent ambience. Exquisite cocktails. I definitely recommend, especially for anyone looking for a good cocktail, especially after eating at or shopping at the plaza.

Nice ambiance and great location. Drinks were good. Food was good. Service was good (except talking to manager)
Bring cash! Because there is a significant charge to use a card. (We were not told that and we got 2 charges for that!) Be careful with the tip-automatically set to 25%. If you’re happy with that then it’s all good. We likely will not go back as there are other places that offer a better experience for us!
