    The entire experience was great!!! Matthew was our server & he was on point!!! He made the experience what it was. It was the first time for me & my 3 sisters and it gave everything we needed!!! We were suppose to be just doing happy hour from 7-9, but ended up leaving at midnight!!! We ordered almost every appetizer and they were all delicious! The drinks were on point too! We had several lemon drop and green tea shots. The vibe was grown and sexy/casually sexy & the dj knew what he was doing. We will most definitely be back!!!
