Worst experience ever, we have never felt more humiliated in our life. The so called "security guard" was so disrespectful. When My friend brought up an issue to him he claimed "she was barking at him". So disrespectful! She is not a dog.. What, are you not supposed to bring any issues up to them? Then what are security guards getting paid for? We have been coming here for years and have never encountered this type of issues before. I asked to speak to the manager and I was told "Not to worry about it" then one of the guards said he was the manager "Anthony" but refused to give me any further information and proceeded to kick our entire group out while the other guard was literally mocking us in front of this so called "manager". This is very unfortunate specially if you want to feel safe and protected please note that this place is the exact opposite..... STAY AWAY PLEASE 🙏!!

Cozy spot with low light and decent bites. Super recommend the cauliflower! It certainly stood out amongst everything! The staff was polite and helpful in accommodating my bigger than average group. Beware this place is popular and tables run out. So keep that in mind if you are coming in late in the evening. The only complain I have is that the bathrooms have no paper towels. You either use the air blower to dry your hands or whatever cloth you have in your body.

Happy hour from 4-7pm. Came on Tuesday around 6PM. A lot of space at the bar. At least 4 tables available. Great food, good selection for happy hour drink. A little loud but not enough to shout.

I don't frequent this bar often but when I do I have a great time. The drinks are delicious but on the pricey side. It's what you should expect from a crafted cocktail in San Jose. The staff was nice. I love the menu. It was fun, whimsical but tastefully presented. The bar itself is visually pleasing and beautifully lit. I think this would be a fantastic place to have a date. The booths are spacious but intimate at the same time. You could have a conversation and hear one another. I would love to come again and see how the space changes based on the night of the week. I stopped by on a Wednesday night.
