This place has gone downhill under the new ownership. I came here for a friend’s birthday with a large group (30–40 people) and the service and pricing were beyond disappointing.

When I ordered my drink, the bartender said they had a new menu but could still make my raspberry margarita. I waited at my table for 15 minutes, only to find out the drinks had just been sitting there on the side. He couldn’t even bother to let me know they were ready—just a few feet away.

Later, my friend ordered the same drinks. She briefly went to the restroom while he was about to make them, and instead of just finishing, he told her she’d “have to wait” because she wasn’t standing there. Completely unnecessary and rude.

But the worst part was the price gouging. Three margaritas came out to $65 because he decided to make them with Patron without asking. No customer should be automatically upsold to top-shelf liquor without consent. Normally, you’re given the choice. The drinks themselves were tiny—maybe 6-ounces—and nowhere near worth $21 each. ( pictured below) Add a service fee on top of that, and the final bill was ridiculous.

This was a birthday party with a big crowd bringing the bar plenty of business, yet the service was careless and the pricing practices felt dishonest. Upselling without asking is unacceptable, and charging sky-high prices for small drinks feels like a scam.

I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone until they fix their service and stop gouging their customers.

Saturday 9-20-25 Invited to a large Birthday Party. First time attending this bar and I was not impressed. Ordered a margarita on the rocks 5-6 ounces and ice because that’s the only way it is served. The Only (1) bartender was very rude. I was not asked nor did I request top shelf liquor. The food was provided by the person celebrating their birthday. When the tab was paid for 3 margaritas it was $42.00. I was charged for 1 extra margarita for $18.00 which was never ordered nor consumed Totaling $66.90 with a surcharge of 3%. Several of us were taken back by our bar tab prices. We have decided never to return to this bar. We were totally beyond disappointed.

This place was really nice on the inside! I wasnt sure what to get so I asked the bartender, Kait, She was super knowledgeable and even asked for pallet preferences. She was super attentive and provided an amazing expirience. I will be back for sure!

Jonathan the bar manager is rude. He will not try to accommodate the client. Our tab was charged twice with tip included and he told me to go find the person who charged me first. He is unprofessional and has an aggressive approach. It really give off the restaurant a bad front.

Overcharged/charged twice and Incanto went radio silent on reversing the charge. Now I have to waste time calling Amex tomorrow to do so.

New Management…the drinks have 0 weight against the old menu.

We liked all the cocktails, but we did wait 40 minutes for one to come out and they ended up charging us full prices despite it being happy hour.

The drinks were really good and so was the food (we got the truffle popcorn and a large charcuterie). The service was subpar. It seemed like there was only one guy taking orders from tables and there were infrequent check ins. I had to get up and go to him to ask about my drink and request the bill. The table near us also had a hard time flagging him down. We were there 2.5 hours and my friends were only able to order one drink.
The atmosphere of the place is great. There were only 1-2 tables full when we got there early evening on a Saturday. The music was really loud, but we were able to get the server to turn it down (we were also sitting directly under the speaker). The inside was basically full by 10ish and getting on the louder side.

This is a whimsical place with a artsy-crafty atmosphere. The indoor and outdoor space are small but spread out enough that you're comfortable. The bartender was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The only negative is the parking lot. It's extremely compact.

Completely overrated. Very expensive and mediocre cocktails.
Staff was nice.

Overall the ambiance is fun and great for a happy hour or just cocktails. The food menu is limited and the bartender seemed overwhelmed with just three tables so it took a long time to get our drinks.

The place was unique and the cocktails are great! The parking can be tricky so recommend parking on the street !
