• large group dinner

  I liked some of the dishes and hated some as well. Overall it was ok and the service was great. I went as a big party and they required that we each spend at least $40 per person which was a crazy requirement that I wish we knew before reserving.

• large group dinner

  Food is pretty good and a great place to go with a larger group

• birthday dinner

  Had a reservation here to celebrate a birthday. Tried calling numerous times but no one picks up. When someone finally did pick up, I inquired about having them hold a cake for us until dinner time. They flat out refused. The guy on the phone said "no one has ever asked us before." On top of having to bring our own cake, they charge $25 to bring it.

• group dinner

  Another great spot from Hand Hospitality group. Came with a group for dinner and had the best time. Cocktails are super creative and delicious, fun menu, and the ambiance is spot on
