Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists.

    Excellent Valentines Day experience . The special menu had enough choices to have something for everyone, and the food was delicious and service was excellent. The prices were elevated for the Valentine’s Day , which I do understand. Gotta make that money . I get it. Some of the prices did seem excessive though. For example , one small crabcake (maybe 3 oz) was $19. The filet mignon offering looked like a pretty modest cut , maybe (5-6 oz precook). I guess I’m just saying for $100, per person , the food was very good , but I don’t know that I would say a great ‘value’. They definitely marked up for the holiday.

    Festive atmosphere, Valentine's Day, but not devoted solely to couples. A lot of us were dining preshow. I saw several families. Food was great. They brought us an "extra" plate of roasted brussel sprouts to try and they were awesome. Great wine selection with some reasonable options

    Friday late lunch is a favorite way to start the weekend and it did not disappoint for Valentines Day. Capital cosmos and local beer to start our dining followed by onion soup and steaks - perfection. Dessert was yummy coconut pie to share. Mario our server was attentive and on point. Parking behind Dunhill garage makes this a super easy trip to Uptown.

    Outstanding service! Thanks to Joel. Food was very good. A few things would have made it great. Love salt but heavy handed on the oysters. The bruschetta was fantastic, but would have been spectacular if the bread had been fully toasted. Mushy on the bottom. The tomatoes on it were spectacular as was the olive oil powder. We had a good, crisp Cesar salad and shared the Cacio Pepe. We thought the sauce was perfect. Light and peppery but not stodgy. We didn’t care for the pasta, which was more like a heavy gnocchi. So much so that we asked if we had gotten the dish we ordered. Loved the feel of the place. The lights and open kitchen were fun. A big comfortable booths were nice. The wine pours were exceptional and the prices excellent. Very good value. Not noisy and very enjoyable. Definitely worth the trip!

    The places was noisy. Patrons should be adviced on their noise level. Otherwise the atmosphere of the place is negativelly affected. It is a restaurant not a bar. Smell of the place was akwards as well.
