Came here yesterday for a brunch the place was empty and dead waitress was nice provided good service however the food made me sick overall the place is not what it seems in the picture completely false advertisement will not be coming back here
Experience was very disappointing. My friend made a reservation weeks in advance for a birthday brunch. The restaurant called the day of, just hours before the reservation, saying the menu had changed and they would no longer be serving brunch. They stated on the phone that champagne would still be provided but this was not the case when we arrived. Service was extremely slow with some members of the table waiting 30+ minutes for their drink and having to remind the server multiple times. Overall was extremely disorganized and not at all the experience we had originally expected when making the reservation.

Went for my daughter's birthday the Dj was amazing but the service was horrible waited an hour and half for service and when the food came out was cold and unable to eat asked the waiter to remove the uneaten food off the $900 bill and they refused. When asked for a manager they stated the manager wasn't on the premises.
I just celebrated my 36th bday here and its totally different from the pictures. They moved and the place is a quarter of the size. Place was empty and dead. I would never come back here again. False advertising. Update your pictures.
Best birthday party ever !!!! Highly recommend !!
I visited this restaurant for my birthday, and it was a major disappointment. The venue is a cramped corridor above the main restaurant, which felt more like a storage space than a place to celebrate. It was so hot in there that it made the entire experience even more uncomfortable. There was no DJ, and instead, the staff played the same songs over and over again. It was not only repetitive but also completely unprofessional. The atmosphere was flat, and compared to their old location, this new spot felt like a huge downgrade.
While the food and service were decent, they were unable to compensate for the lackluster atmosphere, the bizarre music situation, and the unbearable heat inside. Ultimately, none of it was nearly enough to salvage the overall experience.
Vicky was AMAZING!!! She was the best waitress ever!!!! Everyone should celebrate their bday here!!!!
Saturday brunch was LIT! Our server VICKY was amazing! 12/10 would highly recommend!!!
This place is so overrated and overpriced. First off its really ghetto how we are drinking straight from the bottle with some big ass bendy straws. We waited over an hour for our food. They ended up bringing us free chips for the wait but still. Never coming back to this place. Ive had better experiences and paid better prices.
Mixed reviews made us nervous but we had a blast, went for a 50th bday. It’s not fine dining but the food was great, large portions. Prices were great considering how everything has gone up. We ate, we drank and danced. Go and have fun!

It has been a very long time since my friends and I have returned to this venue and a lot has changed. I mean pretty much everything. At first we all gave each other a look that this wasn't what we wanted and were disappointed. We were the first to show up in the whole place and it was a lot of seating and no dance floor. Not long after more groups started showing up which was reassuring. The music was OUTSTANDING. It made us comfortable when we weren't sure if we wanted to stay and then gave us energy the rest of the time we were there. The food came and everyone loved their meals, I was not crazy about mine ( avocado toast ) because the bread was way too hard, but the BEC and the burger were apparently stand outs. My party moved into the walkway along with everyone else's groups and danced in the area. Overall had an amazing time would recommend. My only critique is to move some tables in the back next to the DJ booth and make a dance floor there.
food was awful, only reason to come is if you have to for a bday

Came here for a friend’s party. The vibes were good dj was playing good music. The food couldve been better. The sangria felt a little cheap for the price we paid per person but it did get me litt.. i would come back if the menu gave a little more food or lowered the price by atleast 10$…the food plus bottle price was a little pricey. The service was good our waiter was very attentive to our table of more than 15+, so kudos to that.
