Had a great first experience here. Came to celebrate my 21st. I believed our server was named Jessica(?) Super friendly and gave us some recommendations for our food. The ribeye sandwich was great, and the short rib fries were amazing as well. Our server was also very attentive and came back to check on us multiple times. We also got a complimentary birthday brownie which to my surprise was excellent considering I’m not usually a brownie fan.
We liked but didn't love our food. I think most people mainly come for the drinks. The seabass was undercooked and tough in the very center, but otherwise tasty. Medium rare ribeye sandwich was decent although the meat was not quality, like trimmings. We tried a couple of appetizers. The cheese dumplings dish was a remix of grilled cheese and tomato soup. I didn't taste the pistachio in the pesto on the flatbread; it tasted more like a standard pizza. So they were good but had very basic flavors. Atmosphere was super cool though. Service was good. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you intend to imbibe. They even seem to have a "hidden" backroom/speakeasy.
This restaurant is on the middle of an office park, so very unexpected. The dining room was really cool, anchored with a library. Great food. For starters, the drinks were great and unique. All food was very flavorful. The fish main dish was made perfectly. Service was fine. Some of our order was showing up out of order or delayed. One of the desserts didn't show up till after we paid for the bill :-/
