    Decor was awesome and cocktails were unique. Unfortunately it took 30 minutes to get a drink with a table reservation...

    Watch your drinks and you food. They sweep up unattended items (even if they're right next to you) in an instant. Lost a full drink and all my food tonight :(

    Is the bar crowded? Skip the wait, see if the second bar in back is open.

    Stupidly busy during the week, but the cocktails are good. Sunday evenings are pretty empty.

    Cool interior, but the worst Manhattan I have ever had. It was sweet and pink! Stick with their punch.

    Drinks are OK, Maven is way better, go to the original. The crowd could be a lot more "mixed" but at least I could see over everyone to order my drink...
