    Melany!!!! Omg thank you so much we had such a great time! Great drinks. Thank you for the recommendations. Melany was so great explaining the cocktails & making sure we had what we needed! We'll be back soon!!

    Not somewhere I will be running back to. My friends and I had a 5pm reservation. Which reservations seem to be hard to get. But I'm not sure why when only 2 other people were there. No one else came until about 5:45. It took 10 minutes to get water. And then we ordered the Hazelnut Espresso Martini (3 of them) and 5 minutes later the waiter came back to let us know they don't have hazelnut. So we ordered the caramel espresso martini. It took about another 10-15 minutes to get the drink - mind you still only one other couple in the establishment. I also don't think the martini had caramel in it. The place itself seems cool but I'd probably go somewhere else for drinks if I'm in the area.

    Decor was spot on & so fun

    Went to Jekyll for their special Victorian Tea. I had read a few mixed reviews but I was honestly pleasantly surprised. They went all in on the theme. With flowers everywhere and beautiful table settings it was straight out of Bridgerton. We were seated quickly and our servers were dressed perfectly to theme. We ordered our teas and they brought out the appetizers. Quickly followed by the standard tea foods and desserts. There were a few stand outs (toffee pudding and mini beef Wellington) and a few duds (cucumber sandwiches had butter, & no clotted cream) but ultimately it was a nice tea. I will say it was pricey but it was worth the experience even if it wasn't the best high tea I've ever been too. They were amazing at decor and the added caricature artist was such a great touch. If you like a theme and a fun outing I'd say this is worth the experience.

    Came here Christmas Eve, it's was pretty empty obviously for the day but we had great service and the drinks were amazing. Very well presented. Definitely will return.

    We had an amazing holiday Christmas Tea experience at Jekyll this morning. The front of the place is a bagel shop and the back is the speak easy. Cool concept. We enjoyed an array of tasty treats and English tea. We also partake in the Egg Nog martini and a bubbly gin cocktail. Such a wonderful way to start the holiday! Merry Christmas and peace on earth.

    In a world where every bar with a vintage/steampunk vibe calls themselves a speakeasy, this place stands out. It's exactly the chill and interesting spot you're looking for when you just want a couple really good cocktails and conversation with your friends.

    Cozy ambiance

    Solid/interesting drink choices and it's nice that they've expanded their food menu too. Would like this place more if it were easier to walk into though. Always a bit of a fuss getting a reservation despite it never seeming too too busy.

    This is for the Alice in Wonderland themed tea party. Space: absolutely adorable, great decorations perfectly matched the theme and the servers were dressed in Alice in Wonderland attire from the mad Hatter to Alice and the white rabbit Service: included in the $60 charge everyone worked together. Sparkling water never received had to ask for tea refills, felt like it was a little bothersome. I was told the alcoholic beverages were limited to the options on the tea menu, but included with the tea. This was incorrect they were up charged with the tea. $225 high tea, the most expensive in the world! Food: i've been to tea across the country, across the world. This is by far the lowest quality high tea I have ever had. The pastries, excessively sweet. Rice crispy treats give it some stars. The tiny dime size macaroon was also tasty the scone the size of a half dollar without Devonshire cream left a lot to be desired. I didn't ask for the cream, which I was given, however, what I was given was unexpectedly like no Devonshire cream I have ever tasted.. I could go on, but this tea was not worth it I do hope to hit up this place for their bar and mixologist which looks to be divine minus the $225 drink on the menu! Drinks range from $15-$225 Btw the 225 drink has $28.99 for the bottle bourbon! But hey, if you got that kind of money, spend it baby the economy needs you

    Stopped in on a Thursday around 8pm for a group of 3. They were able to seat us at the bar. The barstools were extremely comfortable and roomy. They did not feel cramped together. The decor is very moody and nice, it gives a high end vibe. They have a very extensive cocktail menu to choose from! Would recommend for a date or a meet up with a few friends. If you want to sit at a table/lounge area I would suggest a reservation because it is pretty small inside! They also gave us a welcome drink for our first time being there which I thought was super unique and well appreciated!

    Sooo Jekyll is a hidden speakeasy in Hyde Park. Their front is a small bakery, and you use a code for them to take you to the back. The ambience is low-lit, with soft music and a chill vibe. I really enjoyed that each drink has a story behind it, along with a book to read about each one. The food menu is more snack-based, with some main plate options. We could only have the table for 2 hours, so we had to move to the bar while finishing our drinks. I see people mention the drink prices, I'll share my thoughts even though I don't normally rate places based on prices, but more on the overall experience and food. I'd say the storytelling and presentation of the drinks add to the experience, but it's not a place I'd sit and keep ordering drinks. It'll be interesting to see how long it lasts. Overall, I think it's a nice spot for a celebratory night or a date. What Was Ordered: Deviled Eggs = They were okay, not bad, but not the best I've had. Memories of Capri = I liked the balsamic taste.

    My girlfriend and I spontaneously went to Jekyll on a Friday night around 7:30 without a reservation. From other people's reviews, it sounds like it might be hard to get in without a reservation normally, but we didn't have a probably when we went! It's set inside Sesame Bagels in an unmarked door, and I loved the speakeasy details like the faded J (Jekyll logo) under the sesame logo outside. We asked the sesame worker and they told us to wait for a hostess to come out and check if there was walk-in seating available. Fortunately there was, so in we went. The interior is dark and cozy, which makes it feel mysterious. There was nice lighting and old school hip hop playing. We sat in shared a seating area but it never got too crowded. The service was on point! Our server brought out waters with a complementary gin drink as a starter, which was such a nice touch to just make us feel welcomed and excited to try the other drinks. The menu has 11 signature drinks based off of popular fairy tales/horror stories. These signature drinks are extremely pricey in my opinion, however, they do have some simpler drinks for more reasonable prices and to be honest, I expected the price range given how fancy the place was. We both loved our drinks, and since my gf got one of the signature drinks it came with 3 tinctures of lavender, hibiscus, and rosemary for her to add to her drink herself and personalize the taste. I thought this was a creative touch and also noticed other performative dishes being served throughout the night (table side caesar salad, tiramisu that got blowtorched right at the table, etc) so they definitely have an eye for flare here. Overall, I thought Jekyll was a snazzy addition to Hyde Park. I definitely wouldn't frequent it due to the prices, but loved the experience and would come back for special occasions.

    What a gem!! Cool ambiance, and wonderful service. Joey took great care of us and we had food from both Jekyll and Ro. Can't wait to go back.

It's got that all-around fun, energetic atmosphere that makes it a solid choice for drinks. Not sure how it is during the week, but it would make for a fun date night spot to grab some cocktails. That said, I had a real hang-up the last time I went with my girlfriend around Christmas. They tried to hit us with a $10 cover just to get in, on top of $15-20 cocktails. I don't mind paying for a nice spot, but the cover felt absurd, especially since it wasn't even busy. The bouncer said we could make a reservation to avoid it, so I did...and then he made us stand outside forever before letting us in. At that point, we should've just left, but since my friend had never been, we stuck it out to try the themed Christmas cocktails. Once inside, there was a two-drink minimum per person, which is kind of crazy. It feels like they jip you either way...cover or no cover, minimum spend or not. While waiting outside (for no real reason, since it was empty), we chatted with a party of six who came straight from Ash (the sister restaurant upstairs). They'd just spent over $1,000 on their meal and were still getting charged a cover to enter Alter Ego. That's poor business, don't force extra fees to guarantee money when good music, drinks, and vibes should bring people in naturally and make them want to spend. There's plenty of places on Water Street with great (and I'd say better) cocktails where you're not forced into minimums or covers. The Christmas cocktail menu was disappointing too, poor selections and way too sugary. Love the potential here, but the strict policies really turned me off and made me want to go elsewhere next time.

Due to the error of their end we asked for him to streamline our names on the waitlist and he became combative and told us that he was not comfortable serving us and asked us to leave. We spoke to the manager and they reiterated that they believe we had cancelled our reservation despite having proof that the hostess was the issue. Eventually after speaking to the general manager on duty he was able to magically find multiple open spots for us at the bar and was completely comfortable with serving us despite the allegations made by the hostess. And then after all that waiting, the bartenders were rude, asked us if we were the people causing all those problems at the front, and drinks were awful. Definitely not worth your time.

The ambiance was nice. A lot of eclectic paintings on the walls. And loved the outfits of the servers. Very 20's speakeasy. There is a live jazz band that started performing at 7 pm. They were good but at some points it was a bit difficult to speak and listen to those at your table unless you got really close. My meal hit the spot. We started with a charcuterie board for the table. It had a lot of great options like dried apricots, actual honeycomb pieces, and my most favorite cheese, some Brie cheese. The only thing was there was only 4 pieces of bread, one for each of us, which wasn't enough but I guess it made sense not to fill us up too much. For my main meal I had the sweet potato salad which was very tasty and the sweet potato risotto, which a little spicy kick. The only thing I missed was the Brussels sprouts and potatoes but was told that was from the previous chef. But they serve you enough so you definitely will have left overs. Not a big fan of eating in the lounge areas, those are best just for drinks and maybe desserts. But it's definitely a great place to people watch. You will definitely have a meal and a show no matter what. Hopefully can schedule another time to bring my family because I know they would love it.

We also ordered a half cheese, half pepperoni pizza to share. I've never had a "Columbus-style" pizza before. If you're wondering, the crust is somewhat thinner than most pizzas, but not a thin-crust pizza. The toppings are spread all throughout the pizza to the edge, and then cut it in squares (Tavern style). It was very tasty, with a slightly sweet note. My hubby and I ordered the Cobb Salad (without bacon) which was delicious. I really liked the onions on it. It was very fresh and they served a generous portion. Hubby ate the whole thing, but I had the rest of mine for dinner. So good! Two of our friends ordered the Truffle Mushroom Smash Burger and they loved them. I tried my buddy's tater tots, which he ordered with his French Dip. They were nice and crispy, but could have used some kind of flavoring, like Parmesan or truffle. Doesn't mean I didn't eat them all! LOL. The restaurant looks small when you enter, but in addition to the front dining area and bar, it has two additional dining areas, as you walk towards the back, and another bar. If you find yourself in the Channelside area, you should definitely try out Small Giant.
