The food was phenomenal and the drinks were great!! Service was also very good!
The air con lost the battle on a hot humid night
We hosted a party for 40 people here, including drinks, hors d'oeuvres and dinner, followed by catered desserts (cake). The night was absolutely magical: the ambience, the servers (Alex and Luke are utterly charming and kind), the food, the drinks (cocktails are still being raved about several days after the event) and of course Lauren, who planned and coordinated the party. She was beyond professional: immediate responses to all precise and general inquiries and requests, extremely accommodating, polite and solicitous. I can't recommend the place or the people highly enough!
What’s not to love! The venue was beautiful, the food and drinks were amazing and the staff was fun and accommodating. We had an amazing time
Lauren is lovely: prompt in her responses to all questions and requests, very accommodating, helpful and kind. All in all: fabulous!
