Absolutely adored this place! The atmosphere was incredible and the music was amazing! The music made the whole night a million times better too. The food is delicious, and the servers were so so nice, it felt like we were all friends. The suggested wine pairings were so helpful and tasted great(I am terrible at picking out drinks lol). Such an amazing experience I can’t wait to go back!!

fantastic set by the steve denny trio! the professionalism of the staff made for a comfortable and inviting experience. plenty of cocktail options and immense wine variety. music did not trample the opportunity to converse throughout the entire evening. we greatly appreciate the student reservation discount, coat check service, sommelier, and front cocktail section for the perfect view

10/10 experience! Husband and I went for dinner on Friday night. We sat alongside the stage, and it wasn’t crazy loud. It was a great table. The food was VERY good. We weren’t sure what to expect in this type of situation, but they really do emphasize great food. We did the 3 course meal and everything that came out was top notch (octopus, steak tartare, branzino, duck, and pumpkin cake). We went with cocktails and each was great! It’s a beautiful setting and the vibes were classy and upscale. I noted we were there to celebrate my birthday and they made sure to acknowledge that with a little bubbly, and a few people told me HBD throughout the night.
