"First impression? Enter through a sliding refrigerator door and head down the steps to this incredibly low-lit speakeasy and cocktail bar in the back of an unassuming restaurant. So long as you have a reservation, entrance should be easy. Cool. So who’s there? Trendy young things and cocktail enthusiasts. How are the drinks? Cocktails are serious business here—either order one from the menu or tell the bartenders what you like and leave it to them. Worth ordering something to eat, too? There are a few bar snacks, mainly involving cold meats and cheeses. There is a taco restaurant upstairs, though, if you get really peckish. Did the staff do you right? The staff is a little detached and aloof, but the drinks are well-mixed.They certainly know what they're doing, but friendliness can be hit and miss. It's cool to be aloof, right? Wrap it up: what are we coming here for? Take a date. The low-lighting and sumptuous cocktails set a romantic scene." - Susannah Rigg
