Just popped in here for a drink but the espresso martini was great and the aesthetics were too- really cool little spot close to stuff but more lowkey, def recommend.

Love coming here for espresso martinis and tapas! The decor is awesome, all the food and drinks are top notch and the bartenders/staff are super nice. It's even better too when they have DJs come spin music!

Couldn't recommend this place more!

What an awful experience. Hearing how they steal money from their own employees while I was there. Turns out it’s a company wide strategy they do at every location. Could you imagine, stealing wages deliberately from your employees over and over. I wouldn’t give them your business.

Food was amazing. Drinks were bomb... definitely try their special drink! Their vibe is giving Phantom of the Opera and vampire! ? they also do music sets but we went at a good quiet noise level hour!

Highly recommend the happy hour bread and butter flight. Cocktails were incredible. We went early in the evening when it was bright out but I imagine the ambience would be very intimate and exciting at night. Honestly looked like they were always set up for Valentine's Day.

Overrated and overpriced.
The contrast of pepper and berries wasted the quality of the elk meat.
$10 for their “unconditional tres leches” mini dessert served In my grandma glass bowl…
We paid $$$ and were still hungry so we finished at Péché.

Bar is very cute but the music is too loud. Cant really talk when music is blasting. No dance room so why the loud music?

Chef Kennedy knocked it out of the park! Everything on her menu melted into our mouths! She's an amazing chef and has a kind soul. The atmosphere was cozy & romantic! The staff were amazing. Run. Don't walk and experience this yourself!

TLDR - Lots to be desired but the food was good, although portion sizes were so big we couldn't even finish dessert. Pricing is not clear. I signed up for the dinner experience with Chef Kennedy, and left feeling perplexed. I'm surprised a meal billed as Fine dining doesn't give you any idea what you are going to be served nor do they ask about allergies. The food just starts coming out and you don't know what to expect or how many dishes there will be. The waiter didn't really describe the dishes so I had to look at the menu online to figure out what I could eat due to diet limitations. Based on the website description, I was expecting several stories from the chef and to be served small plates, including some on menu and some off menu dishes. What I got was the chef and her sous chef coming out three times to drop off dishes. They were both sweet but it wasn't really a meet-and-greet kind of thing. All but one dish was something I could've ordered from the menu and while the food was really good, the serving sizes were so large that we started to get nervous about being able to finish all the plates because we had no idea how many more would be coming out. You don't get a lot of face-time with the chef and the hostess didn't even put us in the VIP table associated with the dinner experience for some reason (and the place was empty). You are only informed that the “minimum price is $100 per person.” It is actually $100 per person plus a deposit which does not get taken off your bill or refunded. So expect to spend $125 per person plus tax and tip. For that amount of money, you do get a LOT of food. For two people, we shared: 2 welcome shots (1 each), 2 oyster shooters (1 each), three appetizers, a trio of butters and bread, two entrées, and four desserts (2 each).
