| - I'm honestly shocked at how highly this place is rated. The space itself is INCREDIBLE (if a little confusing to navigate), and the cocktails are fine, but at $14-20 a drink, I expected something really spectacular. They've got some really top shelf liquor, and a mini herb garden at the end of the bar but the cocktails fell a little short (my boyfriend thought they were a bit watered down). The Royal Carnegie was bland despite having an entire egg, jalapeƱos, and pineapple juice. The Safe Deposit Box was my favorite order, but I wouldn't pay $19 for it again. Somehow I downed 4 drinks in less than an hour and walked out with only a slight buzz. The Oysters Cleveland was good, which it damn well better be at $14 for three oysters. Fortunately, our evening was redeemed when we went to Society Lounge right after.
That being said, I do recommend coming here at least once just to soak in the rich atmosphere, and the absolutely stunning decor.
