Small, high price, great service

I’m not writing this because I don’t like their business, on the contrary I want any restaurant to succeed. But I wish I’d known some of these downsides before going and I want others to know. On the plus side their bartender was super nice and checked in on us often. Nobody else really did. The staff seemed happy to be there and got along with each other.

On the downside, the seating area is very small, about the size of a large house dining room. We had to choose a tight corner of the bar for two people. We were there on a Saturday night so I bet other days are better. There’s about 5 small tables others than the bar.

Food is interesting but expensive and not enough. A single chicken leg was very good but very expensive. Other small plates don’t offer a lot for their price. The herb butter that was recommended didn’t taste of herb. And I didn’t think there was enough variety for a good small plate sharing experience.

The cocktails are hit or miss but overall small and strong. The espresso martini was good but I got another one that tasted like cough medicine.

Overall for my taste I’d rather want more variety of smaller plates for a little cheaper, or larger single plates. It just didn’t do it for us as a Tapas place. Others may like it and they’re not wrong either.

This was our third visit since they opened- we love a distance. We always enjoy the chill vibe and the good food and wine. It’s a fab date night or social gathering.

Only disappointed in myself for not checking this place out a lot sooner! Everything was perfect! The cocktails and food we ordered were 10/10. Best espresso martini in town by far. The olives and bread w butter were both delicious, reasonably priced, and the perfect portions for when you want to snack while you drink. The staff is super friendly and happy to answer questions. Loved the overall vibe/atmosphere inside. It’s decorated very well and feels like a bar that would be in a bigger city. The place itself is kind of small but while they were pretty busy we were still able to find parking and seats at the bar. I can’t recommend it enough, 100% run to go check it out!

Best place! Felt like the Cheers of 2025. Bartenders know what wine you need and sitting at the bar seats lead to fast friends

Not worth it. Bartenders are rude and drinks are not great.
