There were no servers available, as everything had to be ordered through the app. I found the app difficult to navigate, and it had several issues that added to my frustration. While the presentation of the dishes was appealing, the overall experience just didn't meet my expectations.

We awkwardly stood there for five minutes, unsure if we were supposed to seat ourselves despite having made a reservation. Once the host finally showed up, we were seated on the patio next to a loud and rowdy party that was shouting, breaking glassware, and disturbing the surrounding tables. After fifteen minutes, no one from the waitstaff came to take our orders, so my partner had to go inside to find someone. Eventually, someone came over and hurriedly took our orders, but we ended up waiting another twenty minutes. My partner went inside again to check on our order, and a bartender rushed out with our drinks, not even our assigned waiter. She apologized for the long wait and promised to find our waiter for us, which was honestly the only redeeming aspect of our visit. After receiving our drinks, we immediately requested the check as we were running late for our next reservation. The bartender brought the check again, and we never saw our waiter after that. To top it all off, the drinks were disappointing. I would definitely not return to this establishment, as there are much better cocktail bars in Raleigh.

From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the elegant and classy ambiance this is the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a romantic evening with a special someone.One of the things that really stood out to me about this lounge was the music it was the perfect blend of classic hits and modern beats, and the volume was just right so that you could still have a conversation without straining to hear each other. The sound system was top notch and the DJ really knew how to set the mood.But the real star of the show, of course, was the cocktails themselves. Each drink was a work of art, hand crafted by skilled mixologists who clearly know their craft inside and out. The flavors were complex and layered, with a depth and richness that you just don't find at your average bar. I loved how each drink was presented with its own unique flair.All in all, I would highly recommend this cocktail lounge to anyone looking for a truly special night out. The classy vibe, great music, and exceptional cocktails all come together to create an unforgettable experience that will leave you wanting more. Five stars all around!
