What People Say

Reviewers love the modern décor, creative cocktails, and DJ-spun beats that elevate the evening. Many highlight the excellent staff and how easy it is to make a reservation or walk in before a concert. The small plate menu gets strong marks for variety and flavor, with favorites like the wagyu sliders and truffle fries getting shoutouts.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that prices are on the higher side, especially for drinks and bottle service. Others note that it can get crowded on big concert nights, so arriving early is wise if you want a table. It's more of a lounge than a full-service restaurant, so if you're after a large entrée, options may be limited.
