Delicious food options (went for brunch, mostly ordered from the lunch menu). The steak bites were the table favorite, with Brussels sprouts as runner up. For a birthday, it was the perfect atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Amazing birthday dinner with my husband! Service 10/10 and food was delish. DJ created awesome vibes, love the decor and ambiance. Only thing I would recommend is to have a cashless option to purchase hookah.
