Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that it can get busy on weekends, especially if there’s a big show nearby, so it’s smart to arrive early or be ready for a short wait. Also, while it offers bar snacks and small bites, this isn’t the spot for a full dinner—think cocktails and shareables rather than entrees.
