Amazing jazz bar and vibe. We tried the okonomiyaki and the pasta with tomato cream sauce. The past was a solid 10/10 while the okonomiyaki was an 8/10. We also tried all 6 cocktails but they were alright. HUGE alcoholic selections tho. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Wonderful jazz bar, the band is absolutely amazing. Great live music, good food and such a cozy-romantic atmosphere. We did spend almost 2 hours in line, I wouldn’t say I’d go again, but it was a good experience. Make sure you go early and make...Read More
