It was great, nice food, nice atmosphere and perfect for the night life!
Brian GreerMay 5, 2017
The food was subpar as the portion sizes were small for the price we paid. Also because we had a group of 6 the gratuity was included and then the service was subpar as well. Our waiter was rude.

chicken and waffles are excellent. Tues upstairs with Keenan is a lot of fun.
Dave PokrifchakMarch 18, 2015
Food was good, overall service was ok. The waitress, Yemi, was lazy and wouldn't split the check, then was pretentious enough to add gratuity for a group of five.

Don't make the mistake of wearing stilettos to the rooftop bar - you'll ruin your shoes when they get stuck between the wooden boards!

The rooftop is a must!

Try the special (whatever it is)! If the chef considers it a special, you can bet its going to be amazing.
