My husband and I dropped by on Wednesday night - cocktails, food and service were pretty good! Removing one star because of extremely strong bleach smell throughout the whole bar.

I had the most amazing experience at the waiting room. The staff is friendly and very knowledgable about the menu. The space is beautiful and it’s the perfect place to go grab a drink, a bite to eat (the deviled eggs are life changing) or host an event! Theres indoor and outdoor seating, which is a huge plus. The area around the bar is also so cute and fun to walk around after or before. I would recommend to anyone and will definitely be coming back!!
