Engagement Party · 60 guests · April 2025

The atmosphere, the staff, the food and drinks were great!

It was difficult to walk around the tables and chairs and I thought our reservation was for the entire space near the window. Other patrons were sitting at our high, yellow tables about halfway through which condensed the space for our guests even more. I wish the staff had asked other patrons not to take our tables as we mingled.

Rooftop · 100 guests · April 2024

Really cool venue vibe for a private event. Louie and the staff were super helpful and helped us to make it a successful event. The food and drinks were really tasty and the rooftop was totally instagrammable.

Small coed bathrooms with no mirrors.
