The service from Cherry, Bob, and equally delightful bartender whose name escapes me really helped make the experience. It is classy and elegant but also very approachable.If you appreciate traditional mixed drinks or want to experience them, this is your place. The bartenders are legitimate bartenders who know their craft and execute well. Not that there isn’t also a thorough wine selection.Mixed nuts! Warm, seasoned, mixed nuts! They’re delicious and I’m not really a mixed nut person. The charcuterie is always impressive. The pimiento cheese is delightful as well.They have also truly nailed the aesthetic. It’s a beautiful place to feel beautiful.I’ll add that while there is dress code and security, it does not seem to be about gatekeeping or limiting minority patrons but actually about maintaining the elevated and elegant experience. So few places can manage that.Would recommend.

The level of service and attention to details was something we truly appreciated coming from a big city. The ambiance was great and we look forward toReturning for their jazz nights, rotating DJs and small bites. Loved this place.

The atmosphere was not like a speakeasy but more of just a classic cocktail bar. My wife had her normal Manhatten and I had a Pink Peppercorn Paloma. They were so good, we had to have two!
