The view was amazing on the patio seating. The fire pits are perfect. Our reservation was taken well on a Friday night 8:45 PM. The steak was cooked. Perfect. The electric slide drink was amazing for a tequila drink. I would definitely come back. I love velvet parking that was available $25 only.

The service was great but the food was overpriced and overdone. The mushroom flatbread was overwhelmed with hummus, the cornbread dry, the rice pudding tasteless, however the chicken sandwich was delicious. Might try the restaurant.

We visited around 3:30 PM on a Saturday. My friend and I just wanted drinks and nibbles, and it wasn’t too busy since they were switching from brunch to dinner. We grabbed a cozy couch table, and the servers were really friendly. We started with truffle fries (so good we had seconds), and my friend got what they call the Electric Sly, a passion fruit blanco and mezcal spicy margarita that was a hit. I went for a Paper Plane first to see how they handled the classics. Later, I ordered a gimlet (not sweet, just how I like it), and two more friends joined us since they lived nearby. One of them tried the Electric Sly too, and the other had a Golden Spritz. Now, the jerk lamb flatbread I got looked great but didn’t taste like jerk at all. There was no spice, just sweet, like it was tossed in browning and honey. A bit disappointing on that front. But the Afrobeat music and the view were fantastic.
