I came here during New Year's Eve and it was a night I will never forget. The bartenders were extremely nice and really up on their work. The room isn't the biggest, but I'd recommend it as a to go spot

Great service and good food! Vanessa is an amazing server, she's so friendly and has great recommendations. We tried a couple things but a couple highlights are definitely the halibut and steak frits w the truffle fries! I would definitely come again. And not to mention the bartenders make amazing drinks!

I love this place! This New York style bar is such a great spot for a night out with the girls or for a quick drink at the bar. Our server vanessa was so attentive and very helpful. The service here never disappoints. Their drinks are amazing and the food is always good too. Not to mention, they have happy hour (Golden Hour) everyday from 6pm-8pm! Would highly recommend coming here!

Employees Only - 4.5 Stars Came here to grab drinks with a group of friends, and it's such a lovely and intimate spot with great, chill vibes. I was hoping for hot tea, but since they didn't have any, I opted for a mocktail. It was on the sweeter side but nicely presented and still good--I just watered it down a bit. I didn't try any food, but I loved the unique touch of free chicken soup right before the place closes. The soup was pretty nice! Definitely a fun place to mingle, and I'd definitely come back again. Overall, 4.5/5 stars.

We had a great time at their New Year's Eve party last night. They had an open bar and the drinks were really good craft cocktails. They had a pear tequila drink that was amazing. They used Don Julio in all of the tequila cocktails and you could really taste the quality versus other places with open bars. The staff was all friendly and fun. The bar is beautiful and it was nicely decorated for New Year's Eve. I will definitely be back!

Such a chic restaurant serving great cocktails, small bites, and entrees. A great place to meet for a drink or two before a night out, or to have an elevated date night. Don't sleep on the HH (which they refer to as Golden Hour) , they've got some great food items as well as having martinis on HH for $12 (they're quite good) JAPANESE SWEET POTATO - 4 1/2 stars. This is a light and classic preparation and quite mild. The addition of coconut cream & honey added a nice richness to the sweet potato. A solid appetizer, though on the smaller size. MEATBALLS - 5 Stars. This was so rich in flavor and absolutely delicious. Pork shoulder mixed with panko gives this dish a rich and savory flavor, while the spicy vodka sauce (which was so delicious) creates a perfect balance. PEPPERONI PIZZA - 4 Stars. This was from the HH menu, pretty standard. On the thinner side which I enjoyed, and quite the hearty portion. Bonus points for serving this with ranch. ($14) One thing that stuck out was the exceptional customer service. I don't think I've ever had wait staff be so attentive with water refills and making sure you always had a cocktail or beverage, as well as checking in without being overbearing -- I was impressed. Parking wasn't too bad, I found a meter a short 5 minute walk from the restaurant. Definitely a solid spot in a beautiful and intimate setting.

Really cool spot to grab drinks with your friends! I love coming here for a gno and yap fest lol Ambiance and lighting is very loungey and sexy. The bartenders are really cool and personable and drinks are amazing. I legit had one of the best drinks of my life- for all my espresso martinis fiends please try the "Ube Café" it's the espresso martini of my dreams and I know want ube on all my espresso martinis moving forward. My photo doesn't do it justice but you won't be disappointed.

Really cute bar/restaurant. Showed up around 7:30pm, there were no tables available until 10pm but we could sit at the bar. They have a golden hour menu until 8pm so we ordered espresso martinis from that menu for $12. We split some apps, the fries and aioli were really good and so was the bread. We also had the miso Caesar salad but it was just ok. Service was great and the bar tenders were really friendly and the food came out quick.

Attended a group get together in West Hollywood at a cool restaurant and bar. The main room had nice neon lighting and long bar with ample seating. There were booths for groups to sit together. The rooms were decorated for the holiday season. Our group reserved the back room, which had its own bar and seating area. We had a open bar and delicious appetizers. The service was top notch, the bartender made and served me a mojito, which was very good. I would recommend this place for casual meeting with friends, coworkers or family.
