Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
- What should I order?
- Try the Gyokuro Martini for aromatic precision or the Terroir Old Fashioned for a deeper, spirit-forward drink; ask for a glass of Champagne if the terrace is the main event.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who value cocktails, wine, spirits, informed service and a venue with a clear point of view.
- When should I go?
- Early evening for the most attentive pace; later for the full energy of the room.
- What should I expect to spend?
- $20–30 per cocktail before tax and gratuity
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Few destination-view bars pair this level of cocktail control with service that can guide both celebratory guests and serious drinkers.

How it sits with the food
Small plates are best used to pace a second round; the drinks remain the reason to visit.
