This lounge truly added a sparkle to our evening. From the moment we walked in, Allie set the tone. She was animated, and effortlessly welcoming. The drinks were served thoughtfully accompanied by a small bowl of trail mix – such a simple touch, yet it made everything feel curated. The crab croquettes were absolutely yum! Crisp on the outside, delicate on the inside, and that lemon vinaigrette added the perfect bright lift to every bite. Then came the sticky toffee pudding. It was dense and rich, with sweetness that was perfectly balanced. Add to that lovely views, and you have the kind of place that turns an ordinary evening into a memorable one. A little shimmer, a little savor, and a whole lot of charm.

Espresso martini made with cold brew is a major mixology fail... Proper foam requires thermal shock of chilling fresh espresso. Intentionally deceptive Thursday special reads "50% off all champagne all day," and it's not until you point out the error on your bill that they then tell you it applies to bottles only (which it most definitely does not say on the special card, but they did change bill to honor it "this one time").

5 stars all around - if I could give it 10 stars I would! The food was incredible. We had the gnocchi (OMG SO GOOD) and the bread & butter as table apps. Service was impeccable & the atmosphere was beautiful & great for a happy hour with friends or colleagues. They have a few happy hour drink selections (I had the marg). I’ll definitely be back for the gnocchi!
