As someone who has spent nearly 20 years behind the bar, it’s disheartening to have to say this about a fellow service worker. They seemed more interested in lounging on a stool at the bar than attending to customers. When we did manage to interact with them, they appeared indifferent and seemed bothered by our requests. Given the positive reviews, maybe we just happened to visit on an off night? Still, it was telling that the place was completely empty except for the two of us, while on our drive home that Thursday night, we passed numerous other busy bars and establishments. I usually try to be understanding toward service workers, but this experience felt very amateurish. I want to say I’d be willing to give this place another chance, but my experience with the service and the overall vibe from the bartender has left me hesitant about returning.

As always, the drinks and bartenders are amazing! The food never disappoints either. read more As always, the drinks and bartenders are amazing! The food never disappoints either.

The food is fantastic, the drinks are incredible (they could almost be a meal on their own), and the decor is dreamy, perfect for anyone who appreciates a dream core or vintage 50s to 90s aesthetic. The bartenders are laid-back and friendly. I’m also obsessed with its sister restaurant next door, Leaf Ladle!
