Description

Connected to Bobby Van's, the lounge features gilt-framed paintings but can be easy to miss from the street. During the post-work rush, the space gets very loud, often leaving only standing room at the bar. Salted edamame is served alongside drinks, and the crispy salmon roll is a noted standout on a food menu that otherwise draws mixed reviews. The bar serves a decent draught selection and an okay wine list, though some find the cocktails overly sweet. Service is notably fast, even for larger groups.
