The cocktail menu gets high marks for creativity and flavor, and the location earns consistent praise for its proximity to nightlife and entertainment spots.

Areas for Improvement

While the quality and atmosphere are undeniable, some guests note that prices can be on the higher side — not surprising given the Mayfair location. It can also get quite busy around weekend evenings, so reservations or arriving early are good ideas.
