I really love this spot. The first time we came it was just for drinks and it felt cozy and private. The second time we came it was for an early dinner before the game. The food was good and well portioned. The drinks here are great, they have some unique cocktails. Service was really nice and everyone was happy to answer all our questions.Insta: @TheShahLALand - Forum Shah
