Stopped in for a drink and a couple bites to share. All of the Bittersweet negronis are winners but the Rosa was especially delicious! Was blown away by the crispy lasagna. 10/10 dinner and drinks experience!

Amazing time here, arrived without a booking but staff were very helpful and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Cocktails were fantastic, and food was great as well. Really cool atmosphere inside, love all the cool spirit and liqueur bottles. Service is top quality, can't wait to go back.
