The food was meh. The brisket/fries dish was mostly fries and little brisket. Not worth the money at all . Drinks were good but inconsistent pours. Ambiance and music were great

My boyfriend and I recently came for a drinks date night. We came and he usually only has one drink or a beer but he even wanted to try two cocktails because of the ambience. He loved the cocktails and we had an amazing time for date night.
