    Intimate ambiance w hand crafted cocktails! Fools Gold was delicious! Hardly saw our server, not the best table service...I would come back but will try the bar.

    Great place!! We ordered 1 of each food item. Everything was amazing!! The chef came out to introduce himself & chat. Such a personal touch to this fab cocktail bar. Of course, we loved our drinks!

    Peanut butter infused vodka and jelly ice! What?? It sounds good but the jelly ice made it terrible. The PB vodka itself though 👍🏻👍🏻

    Simplicity shines through on the refreshing Fraise d’Amor—a blend of cognac and strawberry puree, frozen with liquid nitrogen and served with a spoon. Read more

    Happy hour - $10 for any cocktails on the first page. Chilcano (pisco) was very refreshing!

    Excellent cocktails. Not super obvious but they have a scale for how boozy a drink is.
