What People Say

Guests love the chic yet cozy ambiance, calling it a “hidden gem” in the downtown hotel scene. Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable frequently praise the friendly, knowledgeable bartenders and their expertly mixed cocktails.

Areas for Improvement

While the small plates are delicious, some guests mention that the menu is limited if you're looking for a full dinner. Also, because it’s located inside a hotel, it can sometimes feel more like a hotel bar than a local hotspot—but that also means consistently great service.
