The first thing that catches your eye is the wall of spirits (seriously impressive). Add in a super comfortable, roomy dining area, and you've got a spot that just feels good to hang out in. Food-wise, we went with the sweet potato tots (crispy perfection), the crispy chicken sandwich (big portion, packed with flavor), and closed it out with bourbon bread pudding (a must-try if you've got a sweet tooth). Everything was tasty and priced right. We'll be back for sure -- and next time, I'm diving deeper into that cocktail list!

We will always come back. It doesn't stay open super late so we gor kicked out lol but we always have a good time.

We had the pot of gold (lump crab) and whipped goat cheese spread for appetizers, the latter of which was my favorite. I loved the fresh flavors & sprinkle of pistachios. For dinner, I ordered the Carbonara Bucatini and it was so delicious. My brother and sister in law both ordered the filet and finished every bite.

We rolled rum, savory, and fruity. I was like, how are they gonna make it savory and fruity?? THEY DID. it was yummy as hell. For appetizer we got the duck wings. i've never had duck. its tastes like chicken and was so good i sucked the bones clean like a ravenous beast. I got the rainbow trout as an entree and my date got the oishii shrimp. I liked his more than mine, so we switched plates halfway through because he is in love with me. the trout was also good though.

Our family ordered a wide variety of dishes (steak, pork chop, salmon, rainbow trout, swedish meatballs) and everyone thought their dinner was wonderful. Principle also served butter noodles and grilled cheese for the children in the party. The fish of the day (rainbow trout) and the Seared Halloumi appetizer plate were especially delightful.

It's next door to their sister restaurant, Lovejoy. Walking in, the space is very dimly lit with a nice bar and some cozy seating. We were directed to a couch and a couple of low chairs. The menu is organized into different "chapters," with different themes for each chapter. They also have beer, wine, spirit-free options, and a spirits list. I wanted something fun, so I chose the Don the Beachcomber, a rum-based tiki cocktail that is flamed tableside. My friend got the Obstacle No. 1, which is a bourbon drink that they smoke at your table. Very theatrical and fun! These drinks were $20+ so pretty pricey, but worth it for a fun occasion. We had a nice time just relaxing and catching up. I would say it's not a great spot for a large group, but definitely a fun date night place. They have a small food menu of offerings from the restaurant next door that sounded tasty. We had just eaten but I'd be interested in their small plates. I'm so glad I got to experience this place. It feels like you're transported to a secret speakeasy when you enter!

We arrived at 9:45pm and were seated at a cute, cozy little couch and table setup. The hostess handed us both a drink menu and a separate food menu. Looking through it, I was thrilled to see quite an expansive cocktail list broken down by "chapters," as well as several small snack options clearly marked with a gluten-free (GF) label. Unfortunately, the experience was a bit disappointing once we tried to order. Despite the online hours stating the venue closes at 11:00pm our server informed us that the kitchen was already closed. There is no indication online of what time the kitchen closes, and it was incredibly disappointing to be handed a dedicated food menu by the hostess only to be told moments later we couldn't order anything. When I asked our server for recommendations and which specific cocktails were gluten-free, she mentioned she was new and had to go check. She returned about 10 minutes later, only to give a vague answer that "most drinks were gluten-free" without offering an actual recommendation or helpful suggestion. My husband ended up ordering a non-alcoholic drink, but between the kitchen confusion and the lackluster service, I opted not to get anything at all. It's a cool venue with a lot of potential, but they should put their kitchen hours online and better train their staff on the menu.
