Christmas experience is terrible. You will get charged 20% gratuity for a group of 6 people and get kicked out in n hour. We were rushed through the order, and then the waitress was counting down the time we had left at the table every 5 minutes. Pure scam. Limited selection of drinks and food and totally not worth it. Will never be doing that again.

We went for drinks only as a 60 minutes seating is a bit short. The Holiday decorations were very nice and the festive drink were good. But a one-hour time Slot is quite steep and takes away from the experience.

The 1hr time limit is kinda ridiculous especially for people willing to spend enough money on drinks and food. Food is sub-par. The famous smash burger was disappointing. It was very salty. The cocktails are ok. Our waiter was super nice though so service is good.

Having to put in a credit card just to make a reservation is pretty annoying. I get that they only charge you if you don’t show up, but it still feels unnecessary. Also, the 1-hour time limit is super short. Most places give you at least 1.5 hours, so it’s frustrating to feel rushed here. On the bright side, the cocktails are great, and the decorations are really nice. I just wish they had mocktail options—it would’ve been nice to see a bigger selection for non-drinkers.

Great Christmas experience here. We had to wait a bit for our table but the host was very apologetic and made sure our hour time slot was extended accordingly. Server was quick and friendly, easily accommodating my allergies. I thought my cran-ber-rita was great despite other reviews saying cocktails weren’t the best here. The holiday hot dog was delicious as well. Overall would recommend this place to others and would return myself!

Took my partner to the Christmas bar here and the staff were really sweet but the one hour seating limit really didn’t work for us. It was also extremely loud with Christmas music blasting. All in all the decorations and festive drinks made it worth it but i don’t think I’ll be going back
