| - To be honest, when they first opened I wasn't a fan. I found (and still do) the esthetic quite cold. I appreciate clean lines, and muted tones, but this is pretty next level. The atmosphere lacks warmth. What makes up for this, however, is the quality of the drinks and the excellent service. Delicious mixed drinks (Manhattans on point!) and a good wine list. Darren the server is just awesome - professional but so so friendly and funny and knew how to read the room on how to deal with each table of different customers. There's a good mix of people - younger, older, hotel guests in track pants, fancy people...no matter how you show up, you aren't out of place. The food is just "meh" - in the future I will stick with charcuterie and cheese platters. While it likely won't be a place I will frequent in the summer (don't love the patio that is on a busy, loud and windy corner), I will probably be there a lot this winter. (The fact that it's around the corner from my house doesn't hurt).
