    Pairings were great. Cocktails decent. Not too crowded which is always a plus (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    Cool atmosphere but incredibly pricey for the cocktail you're getting.

    Try not to sit at the mezzanine bar. View is nice, but whenever they fire calamari below at the chef station, a cloud of coughy smoke wafts up.
