Three guests posting in January–February 2025 praise inventive drinks, cocktail variety and knowledgeable bartenders; one describes noise and a wait. Two late-2024 accounts add mixed drink and service feedback. These five selected accounts come from one mirror, with unverified visit dates and original platform. They support a cautious positive read of an older sample.
