Food is noted, but not central

Some reviewers mention food options such as cashews or that they had great food alongside their drinks. A few others explicitly say they didn’t order food, using the place mainly for cocktails and atmosphere. Overall, food is present in the conversation, but it’s not the main theme compared with the drinks.

Crowding can limit comfort

Several reviewers warn that the space gets crowded.

A handful of reviews mention crowding and limited room inside, including comments about it being hard to move around. Others describe the place as getting cozy quickly, and suggest arriving earlier. This appears to be a recurring tradeoff for the kind of atmosphere reviewers like.
