Great spot. Went there for Valentine’s Day. It was pretty packed and there was a wait time despite having a reservation but not too bad. Service was top tier. They are super attentive. Good music, vibes, hookah and awesome food and strong drinks.

On the early side on a Thursday at the bar in the back it was pleasantly quiet. It was comfortable sitting at the bar. The bartender was excellent, the food delicious. It's pricey, but I think worth it for a special dinner. The grilled oysters were my favorite. The cocktails are expensive but high quality.
