    Wow okay yessss The Red Room is amazing! My spouse and I came here tonight for our 10 year wedding anniversary and had an amazing time. We started off with bread with oil and vinegar that was warm fresh out of the oven. For an appetizer, we ordered the arancini. It was soooooooo good! For dinner, we ordered the shrimp ravioli and pesto gnocchi. Both were fantastic! Presentation of the food was beautiful too. We got the soufflé for dessert with both sauces on the side. For drinks, we got the lychee martini, a manhattan, and the newport smash. All were amazingggg. The bar tender is fantastic! Service was an 100/10. Eva was our waitress and she was amazing. She was so sweet, helpful with recommendations, and always made sure we had everything we needed. The bar tender was fantastic. He was so personable and even came over to our table to talk with us about our drinks. He even shared a bit about Italy. The owner also was so personable and sweet. He came over, knew me by name, and made sure to wish us a happy anniversary. He came by multiple times to chat and make sure we were doing well. The inside was soooo cool. Such a fun jazzy speak easy vibe. Very classy and yet a fun time. The live music was the cherry on top. Overall a 1000000/10 experience. Incredible authentic food, amazing service all around, and fun vibe. We can't wait to go back :)

    We discovered this place looking for a romantic place to celebrate our anniversary and potential place to celebrate my brother's 25th wedding anniversary. This is a beautiful place! The ambiance, the service, the food, everything is just perfect. The hubby and I love coming for special occasions. We've brought friends, brought my brother and sister-in-law and they loved it as well. It feels really special. It's a great to place to dress up, impress your significant other, have an intimate dinner with live music in the background, so romantic. Every time we've come Domenico, the owner, makes it a point to come say hello and welcome you. He and his staff are very attentive which adds to the awesome atmosphere. We've always had a wonderful time. We love it!

    Absolutely amazing experience some of the tastiest Italian food I've ever had. Ambience was fun and romantic especially with the band being slightly interactive and so up close with our seats. Perfect service as well, very attentive, and extremely nice ! Our food came extremely fast and it was perfect. Will 100% be returning

    Outstanding, excellent, authentic, different, memorable, personable. One visit and we felt like regulars, highly recommend. One of the best restaurant experiences we've had in years. Beautiful place of course but hidden so it has a special vibe. Service is 100% spot on and the best part the interaction with the staff is genuine and authentic. Food was top notch and presented well. The restaurant and bar is adjacent to a banquet room that is unique and immaculate. We were lucky to have been there and met the owner which was an experience in itself.

    Wow what an experience. This is such a nice place to have a special dinner. Domenico the manager of the place is really down to earth! Love his attitude and the way he was so welcoming. I felt like I was family. Every plate was exquisite. The clam pasta was amazing. Bruschetta was unforgettable. I think I can go on and on. Layout was nice. Definitely will come back!

    I took my friend for his birthday and this place is rocking. The ambiance is old school and transport you in a movie scene. I made reservations and when I walked in they know my name. I know I'm underdressed but, they still made me feel welcomed. We ordered burritos, lasagna and beef ribs. Everything was split table side so the 3 of us had equal share of our selected dishes. I appreciate the level of service. Food was delicious, bread was warm and our lychee martini was yummy. Domenico is just a people person, he is so warm and welcoming. Our water glass is always full. The live music was such a treat. And my friend felt special on his birthday, they gave him a complementary dessert and the band sang Happy birthday. This is not just a restaurant, it's a memorable experience. Thank you for making us feel special.

    Celebrated my daughters birthday in this hidden gem. Amazing ambiance, love music and an open mic night. We had t been before, but the 5 star yelp reviews astray accurate. Really cool place and the wait staff were amazing and friendly.

    Came across this hidden gem/speakeasy off of yelp. Celebrated a birthday and Domencio and his staff certainly left no stone unturned. The food was amazing and desert was even better. The music and vibe was out of this world. Would highly recommend this establishment if you're out for a fun time!!!!

    I went to the red room on a Wednesday night and it was pretty empty, save for a family of 10 in the middle celebrating a birthday and a live mariachi band. I was really surprised to see the band playing and it was a bit loud but I thought it was a fun addition. I ordered the cacio e pepe spaghetti, the meatballs (appetizer), lychee martini, and espresso martini. Cacio e pepe spaghetti: one of my favorite bites this year! Normally I don't order pasta outside because I can make it at home but not this recipe! The owner greeted us and told us that his chef is from Italy so the food is authentic. And you could tell from the texture of the spaghetti and the rich flavor of the pasta sauce. Genuinely it was the creamiest and tastiest pasta I've had in a while! 10/10 Meatballs: another amazing item on the menu! The beef meatballs were so tender, they practically melted in your mouth. The marinara was also delicious and definitely took time to prepare. 10/10 Lychee martini: this is for everyone who wants to drink but hates the taste of alcohol (perfect for me!). I couldn't taste the alcohol in here whatsoever (but I could feel it). It was so refreshing and sweet and tasted exactly like biting into a lychee. 10/10 Espresso martini: this is for the people who love strong drinks because wow the alcohol is there! The espresso flavor was bold and it wasn't too sweet. Service: one thing about the red room that distinguishes it from the rest is the service and hospitality of the staff. The owner came to greet us and make conversation and our waiter gave us amazing recs and served our food for us in individual plates. We didn't have to lift a single finger. It was luxurious for sure!

    We had such an amazing experience here! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and fun, with live music that really set the tone for the night. It felt lively without being overwhelming--just the perfect vibe for a great evening out. A huge shoutout to our waiter, Oswaldo, who truly made the night unforgettable. He was attentive, friendly, and gave fantastic recommendations that did not disappoint. Everything he suggested--from the food to the drinks--was absolutely spot on. The food was incredible--full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. And the drinks? Next level. Creative, well-balanced, and honestly some of the best I've had in a long time. Between the outstanding service, delicious food, extraordinary drinks, and the energy from the live music, this place is a total gem. I can't wait to come back!

    The red room is a hidden gem that I feel like everybody needs to be aware of ! It's located in a fairly large shopping center and there's also a parking structure where you can park, so finding parking won't be an issue ! The ambiance is a speakeasy type vibe. And there is some jaw dropping decorations outside were you can take some amazing photos ! The service is on point ! My girlfriend and I went and there was a comedy show happening which we weren't aware of but the waiters were still super attentive which is much appreciated! To top it off the owner came to greet my girlfriend and I and was so friendly ! The food to be honest fell a little bit short it was over seasoned but it wasn't a spoiler! The desert was super tastey and the owner said that everything is made to order . The price point is mid to high but it's so worth it ! Overall if you're around the area check them out fam!

That worked perfectly for us we were able to get in right away without any wait. Even though it's cozy, it doesn't feel cramped at all. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the drinks were wonderful. The staff really stood out to me. They were attentive, kind, and professional throughout the night.

The atmosphere could have been cool, but every 5 minutes the bright hallway light blasted through the western-style swinging door and completely ruined the dark speakeasy vibe. The drinks were tiny and overpriced. We ordered two Old Fashioneds and the giant ice cubes took up almost the entire glass. Larger than a normal square ice cube- a little taller. But it seriously felt like they split one drink into two. Barely a shot in each glass, and the cocktails themselves were just so-so. Very syrup-y flavor. Definitely not "bespoke" or unique the was the server was upselling us. Service started good but when he got busy it went downhill. And by busy he got (1) 5 top.....He was excited about explaining the menu but then never once came back to check on us. When we finally flagged him down and asked for the check, he just dropped the handheld payment terminal on the table, walked away, grabbed it when we finished paying, and said absolutely nothing... no "thank you," no "have a great night," nothing. And this was after we still tipped 20%. Definitely not worth the money, service, or atmosphere. We won't be back.

The space is small, so I definitely recommend using Resy to make a reservation. After checking in with the host at Arc, you will be guided to the rear of the restaurant to small round room with a mirrored door and a beautiful chandelier overhead. Upon entering, you will walk through another small hallway with green light and wood framed mirrors on the wall. At this point, you have now entered the Guild Club. The centerpiece is an attractive granite topped bar that seats nine people. The back of the bar features a beautiful wood cabinet with intricate carvings. There is a small area across from the bar with two round tables, each with two high back cushy chairs. This area is more intimate, but the tables are small if you plan to eat and drink a lot. The walls, floor, and ceilings are dark with lots of woodwork, giving a warm cozy feel. There are a nice assortment of interesting lighting fixtures, and paintings on the walls. A few small ceiling areas are painted dark green and display gold astrological signs. At the end of the bar, there is a spiral staircase leading to an upstairs space that I believe is for display only, but it adds a touch of mystique. The Guild has its own small menu of exclusive cocktails and bites, but you can also order anything from the Arc menu. We started off with an order of shishito peppers which were probably some of the best we have ever had. The portion size is very generous, and they have some herbs, almond crumble, and squeezed lemon on top. Be warned that the cast iron skillets that a lot of their food is served in are extremely hot. For cocktails, I started with the Number One. It was a good balanced cocktail with noticeable cucumber flavor and some bitterness on the finish from the Pimms. She started with Einhorn Is Finkle. It had a great light sweetness with some grapefruit flavor and light bubbles. For my entrée, I had the crispy duck. This is actually a big ball of duck meat with a fried coating on the outside. The duck was very flavorful and nothing about the duck or fried shell was greasy or oily. The grated cheese paired well and the arugula added a nice freshness. This was a great dish that I would definitely order again. She ordered the chile relleno. Obviously, Arc is not a Mexican restaurant but this was surprisingly probably the best chile relleno we have ever had. It had a great pumpkin seed crust with a very flavorful succotash inside. The chili itself was huge and filled up the whole skillet. We would absolutely order this again. I was talking with our bartender JT about my recent new appreciation for mezcal if it's toned down and that none of the mezcal drinks on either cocktail menu really caught my eye. He suggested a Last Word with mezcal replacing the gin. I enjoyed it, but the mezcal was a little too prominent for my taste. For her second cocktail, she ordered The Girlfriend which has a humorous description of "changes daily". The current girlfriend when we were there was a twist on a blackberry margarita. This was surprisingly the best drink of the night, and was definitely the most complex margarita we have ever had. It had a light blackberry flavor, and I believe some of the other ingredients that JT mentioned were grapefruit, lime, cocoa, and cinnamon bitters. For dessert, we ordered the German chocolate cake. It was a huge slice of moist cake and was served with a large dollop of fresh cream. The cake wasn't overly sweet which was nice. We shared one last drink, the Liquid Courage as it sounded like a nice dessert cocktail. On my first sip, I tasted coffee which was unexpected. I asked about it, and apparently the drink menu does not list the Nola coffee liqueur that is in this drink. I'm not a fan of coffee, but at least this cocktail had more of a mocha flavor than a strong coffee flavor. I probably wouldn't have ordered it if the ingredient list was accurate, but I think coffee or mocha lovers would enjoy it more. Our bartender JT was pretty much running everything by himself with only a little outside help, and he was doing a great job. He was also very friendly and we enjoyed our conversations with him. The prices are a little on the high side, but the drinks were good, and the food was excellent with generous portion sizes. Our reservation was for 6:00pm and I would recommend visiting a little closer to sunset. There are some outside windows on the far wall and even though there are drapes, a little light still comes through. And if the door to the outside patio is opened, a lot of light comes in if the sun is up. The Guild Club is a great little speakeasy that I only recently discovered, and I would definitely recommend checking it out.
