Excellent bar. Craft cocktails and a deep bench of eclectic spirits. Small but well made menu of bar foods, with some nice twists. Everything from fresh oysters to deviled eggs, a daring tuna tataki, a rockin crab dip, and even a killer Chicago dog.
The look is dark in this top-of-the line hipster hang. The bartenders rock the house. The lone server, the night we were there? She is, to good service, what Brussels sprouts and spinach are to most five-year-olds.
Yuck!
She's got a case of the server killer D's: Disinterest, disdain, and disconnects. She couldn't be bothered with pretty much anything. Usually, when the kitchen, or bar, is about to close, your server gives you a last call heads-up. Nope. I asked for a cold prep item.
"Oh, the kitchen closed."

Five minutes ago.
Thankfully the bartender with the stylish chapeau stepped in and took much better care of us. The tip was for him.
The place is smallish. It gets crowded. There are few tables. The few ones outside get no service. Seems like lost money to me.
It's a pretty good joint. If they dispatch "Coraline" to a service gig worthy of her persona, possibly a Jiffy Lube, or a mortuary, the table service would take off.
The place oozes cool, not cold. Rebecca, the GM, Detroit gal, seems like she knows her stuff.
Too small for the vibe, if you want to get in here, avoid the peak three.
Plenty of parking.
