Great place with beautiful design and good food. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. The only thing I would improve is the drink selection. It would be great if they added few signature cocktails to the menu. But overall it's a cool place for both small and large groups.

This has by far been my favorite place to eat and have a drink in NYC. The atmosphere is a whole vibe itself. It’s a great place to chill and be able to catch up with friends or sit at the bar and watch sports while enjoying a drink. The food was fantastic and service was phenomenal. Sam, the manager came to our table and spoke with us. We were there to celebrate birthdays on a girls trip. He wished us a happy birthday and gave us a round of drinks. If I lived in NYC, this would be the place I would visit regularly to hang out with friends or just to chill and have a good drink. Well done!

Came here for the first time. I swear if they get hookah in this spot it would make it 10x better the location is perfect, the size is decent. Drinks are good, you just have to know what to order & which bartender to order from. I got long island ice tea from the guy & there really good. Decided to get some honey bbq wings they were delicious! Would come again

⸻ Horrible experience from start to finish. We waited nearly 45 minutes to get seated, even though there were plenty of empty tables. The place was not clean—floors were sticky, tables weren’t wiped properly, and the bathroom was disgusting. Once seated, it took another 20 minutes just to get drinks. When the food finally came, it was cold and tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. Fries were soggy, meat was dry, and the salad looked old. I politely said something to the server, and she just rolled her eyes and walked away. Customer service was rude and unprofessional. And to top it off, they added a 20% gratuity for a party of three without telling us. We left feeling disrespected and completely disappointed. Never going back.

$80 for this. I am really going to try to be as positive as I can. The boys bathroom is not allowed to have the door closed. I forgot to mention it’s literally like on full display to everyone in the “club”. I took a breather outside and was told I can only stay outside for one minute then have to go back in. What the frack is this? $80 BTW Ur honestly better off getting led lights for your basement and playing music off YouTube on the TV
