Came here 3x and wanted to wait to leave a review so I can be fair. Ambiance- LOVE all the couches and relaxed, intimate feel. The place is small, but enough to enjoy an evening for a GNO or have a nice evening of conversation with other couples. If you want to relax, then this is your spot. Also came here for our typical Saturday mornings Farmers Market. They sell mimosas and their menu is open. Needless to say we had a great Saturday! The owners both came to us at different times and they were super friendly! Don't judge a book by the cover, they're rough around the edges, but they're extremely attentive and nice. I love that they come around and say hi. I've been to PLENTY of spots where you don't see any owner! All in all, I'd highly recommend this place!

Well, we had hi hopes for this establishment but they fell way short of our expectations. The decor is upbeat, room colors and lounge chairs are a modern touch but that's really about it. The drinks are ok, my wife had the lemon drop and it was good, but heaven for it your order any food. The first time we went there shortly after their grand opening was "ok" as we had some taco appetizers, however the second time we went we tried their fish & chips and it was god awful. After taking a few bites I kindly asked our waitress "what type of fish is this?" And she replied stating it was sea bass. Look, I'm no specialist when it comes to food but I know for a fact that it was NOT sea bass. It resembled Chum and I'm pretty sure that's what chum would taste like. It was gross. After a few bites we decided to leave. Shortly after getting home we suspected it really was something wrong as our stomachs weren't too happy with our choice of dinner..... aside from that, the service was ok but don't go there for their food.

Go here if you're into really crappy service and terrible drinks. The bartender was on a good one yesterday, if you know you have poor customer service skills why work in that industry? I know we all go through hardships in life, but you need to leave that at the door when you get to work. I work hard for my money and want to spend it somewhere where I'm treated with respect. Do yourself a favor and take your money elsewhere.

I am completely disappointed, to say the LEAST, by how we were treated at this establishment. Yesterday afternoon, two friends and I went at about 5 pm for some appetizers and margaritas. We walked in and sat to the right, where they have 2 small couches. We sat for a while, and nobody came to serve us, so my friend decided to go to the bar and order our appetizers and drinks. She was told that the area where we were sitting is usually for 6 or more people. She got a bad vibe from the employee and decided to skip the appetizers and only ordered the drinks. We looked around and noticed there were plenty of seats to choose from. So, what was the problem exactly?! We weren't even 1/2 way done with our margaritas when a woman approached us and said the table was reserved for a party that had just arrived and we needed to move. We asked if we could finish our margaritas and then head out, She sternly said," NO, you need to move." I told her that was very rude of her and suggested that next time they should place a reserved sign on the table so that patrons know that they shouldn't sit there. She was very dismissive and couldn't care less that she had 3 upset customers at the establishment. We paid and quickly left. We will never come back again. We work at a school nearby and thought this was the perfect place to welcome the weekend, relax, and enjoy some food and drinks. Boy, were we wrong. What type of customer service is that?! Believe me when I tell you we will tell all our co-workers, family and friends about our experience. So that they think twice about taking their business to a place with such poor customer service.

Myself and two friends went in to have some margaritas and apps. We sat in the couch area to the right because that was the only available area. No one came to take our order so my friend finally got up to get us drinks. The bartender asked where we were sitting and how many of us. My friend answered 3 and was told that this particular area was for 6+. Again, it wasn't busy and other areas had now opened up as people left. We decided not to order food (mostly bc no one came to take our order), and just finish our drinks. Shortly after another waitress came over and told us we'd have to move bc a reservation had arrived. I said, ok, can I just finish my drink-she literally said no, you will need to move. I asked, I can't finish my drink I've already paid for? She said only if you move. Luckily, I only had a sip left so I drank it down and we walked out. We told them we would never be back and that in the future, they should put a reserved sign up if they didn't want people sitting there. I have never been treated that way, ever! Shame on this establishment for having employees that treat paying customers this way. My coworker warned me about this place after they lost her credit card, but I liked their drinks and didn't listen. I now understand why she hates this place! Never again!!

A bar that has employees acting like they are in upper Walnut Creek or some higher end area. Wanted to check this place out when it was new.. I entered and was asked if I had a reservation very rudely. I said no, wasn’t aware that there was a reservation required for a bar…. I was told if I find a seat inside “feel free but good luck, since we’re all booked up.” yeah ok. Your employees with their snobbish attitudes.. suck. the way your business is presented.. sucks. The atmosphere.. sucks. Stop acting like this is some fancy night club in the city..

Went here during a special event that was put on by the downtown Brentwood Coalition . It's a small place, but they have a patio out back with heaters.We ordered a drink off the special menu for the event and I was floored by the price - $18. For 1 drink. Was the drink good - yes, but, this is Brentwood, not San Francisco. I would think the prices would have been more aligned with the other establishments downtown

Came for a Paint and Sip event this week. Went to the bar to order a drink. The girl behind the bar told my girlfriend she couldn't make a Long Island because they were "out of Lemonade"....um, wtf?!? Honestly, I think she just didn't know how to make it, given the fact that the bar had all the ingredients to make one. HUGE red flag. Oh and did I mention the service was absolutely terrible? Here's a tip, your bartender definitely needs training or needs to be fired. Cadillac Margarita was good but pricey and not worth $15, plus tax. Definitely will never go back.

An outing with friends brought us here. The ambiance is a little dark but esthetically it's a nice vibe to hang out at. Unfortunately it was the start of a down pour so that did make it a little uncomfortable to fully enjoy to the fact we were on their back patio. We planned for the Whiskey tasting they promoted. My only take back was the charging of it. It wasn't expensive by all means, being it was whiskeys that most don't choose or want to pay to enjoy. But we all have had them so we were looking forward to the low cost of it. The take back part was charging tax on it. I think they should have just up charged the price to an even cost amount to cover that instead of charging it on the back end. I know, I know sounds petty but this is based off the advertisement of "Cost: $135" I feel a "plus tax" should have been noted in the advertisement. Two part take back was the side of nuts and cheeses. This was included but you literally got two small squares of cheese and an abundance of nuts. Call me nuts but ok. Lol We also ordered what you'd consider bar food from their menu. That was a nice addition to our night being we did not plan dinner options. We ordered Quesadillas, Sliders and carne asada loaded fries. Food was actually pretty good, presentation not so much on the sliders. The buns were a tad burnt and not pleasing to the eye. But over all had a great taste and everything was seasoned well so that definitely made up for it. I mean look wise can turn a good meal. So in ending, If you're looking for a place to hang out at with friends or even a first date kinda vibe, I think you'll really enjoy this spot. It's nice it's local and just in downtown Brentwood.

Had some small plates for dinner and then enjoyed the Bourbon tasting event. This was well done and fun. I will return again for non event.

Super rude staff and unwelcoming ambiance. Staff was not friendly at all and seemed irritated when we didn't have our drink order the second we sat down. would never go again.
