Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program centers on a signature vintage cocktail list, described by the venue as made with top-shelf favorites and inspired by 1920s decadence. Premium spirits anchor those drinks, and a recent guest account mentions Old Fashioned drinks during a visit. The result is a focused, classic-leaning beverage selection that favors premium spirits and a handful of specific pairings over a sprawling list.
- What should I order?
- Start with a signature vintage cocktail from the 1920s-inspired list, which the venue describes as crafted with premium spirits. For wine, the 2025 Sancerre from Domaine Serge Laporte is a bartender-recommended pairing with seafood.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests who appreciate a compact, vintage-leaning cocktail selection built on premium spirits and who want a straightforward wine pairing with seafood will find the program suited to that approach. It rewards drinkers who prefer a focused list over extensive browsing.
- When should I go?
- The Sancerre pairing and the cocktail list suit both lunch and dinner service, as the wine-friendly menus and signature drinks are available across those meals.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The $35 corkage fee applies if you bring your own wine. Signature vintage cocktails are made with top-shelf favorites and premium spirits.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The program leans on a 1920s-inspired vintage cocktail identity, with premium spirits as the stated base. A bartender's specific Sancerre recommendation and a $35 corkage policy give the wine side a practical, pairing-oriented character rather than a broad by-the-bottle list.
