I’ve waited to review this place for weeks since I’ve been there. I had wanted to go for awhile and have some mixed feelings after finally going.
The ambience and decor is on point. I mean the restaurant is gorgeous.
The service fine. Not particularly great, but not bad.
The drinks: be careful. I had the “pitch black” gin cocktail. I love gin, and it was one of the only ones with gin, so I gave it a shot even though the “activated charcoal” in the ingredient scared me a little. After conferring with the server, I decided to go for it. When I got the literally pitch black drink, I was hesitant but tried it with an open mind. It was surprisingly delicious. So I ordered a second. I’m just going to say that I would do so only if you know your stomach can handle ingesting any amount of charcoal. Just a suggestion.
My friend had one too but switched to a fruity cocktail for her second which she really enjoyed. It was neat and came in a coffee dress style glass and you poured your own glass.
The food: mostly very good. Some things were great, some largely forgettable. My favorite thing of the night was the whole duck we shared as a table. If you want to try this, get an earlier reservation as they apparently are known to sell out fast.
So why am I giving only 3 stars: the hostess greeting was not very warm and food was a mix of okay and great. If more items were melt in your mouth good, I’d up it. Maybe I’ll go back one day and try again. As of now, it’s on my one and done list. There are too many other restaurants I haven’t tried yet.
