Regular spot for good drinks, the cocktails are great and some of the tapas is fantastic. Not all the staff is great, for instance one of the bartenders was breaking glass at the bar, then when four people who were sitting at the bar asked to be moved to a table, he told them the tables are only for people who are ordering food, they got up and left, he could have seated them because the place was empty and the odds they would order more drinks. Some of the staff need to work on how they impact costumers and how to be more hospitable. The waitresses lack the cheer effect.

Nice place. Friendly professional service. Food is good with interesting presentation and options. Only complaint is a personal one, some of the pricier dishes are too rich in flavour. After a good and varied dining the final dish was heavy. Distracted from the other lighter fare. Definitely go for some tapas and a light meal.

I love the creative cocktails that Scott gets to make. I always look forward to seeing him behind the bar. It's a cool spot for the downtown district. I just wish it wasn't such a loud atmosphere. But what can ya do when the place is filled with customers enjoying the wonder drinks and tapas. 😁

I had a great first impression of this place. I scored a window seat with my friends so lots of activity happening and the service was tremendous. My only concern is the noise level at the seating further inside the restaurant. The food was very interesting and I loved the small plates/sharing concept. My cocktail was bang on and I will be going back again.

The creme de le creme of cocktail bars in Halifax. Perfect for a date, or if you just crave a unique cocktail. These bartenders are happy to make something customized and on a whim; dont be afraid to challenge them. Do not be afraid to sit at the bar, all of the bartenders will chat if you want, or give you privacy if you dont want to. The food is fantastic and i highly recommend trying some of the tapas style dishes. The food is pricey, but it would be a sin not to dabble because they really do have a fantastic quality. This is a perfect spot for a date. The only issue, which wont reflect in the rating, is that this place is very small so it fills up quick and difficult to accomodate for groups.
