Recently had a girls lunch here for my birthday. Super cool venue styled beautifully, feels fun grown up and little bit boujee with no pretension. Staff were amazing, A+ service delivering great food, good vibes. Going the extra mile to make custom mock tails for those not drinking really made people feel special. Absolutely will be back!
