What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight the elegant atmosphere, craft cocktails, and friendly, attentive staff. Many mention the lounge as a hidden gem perfect for pre-event drinks or small bites. The beautifully designed interior and scenic views of the Las Colinas area also get frequent praise, creating a peaceful escape from the bustle of concert crowds.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the menu, while high quality, is limited in variety, especially if you're seeking a full dinner. It’s also on the pricier side compared to nearby casual spots—something to keep in mind if you’re watching your budget. Seating can fill up quickly on busy nights, so a reservation is recommended.
