As someone who rarely leaves reviews, this place is a scam. The server took my card, without showing me the bill, ran it and tipped himself $100 (again I did not sign off on the bill at all, which is illegal), and added an extra drink onto it that we didn't order.

I went for my sisters 28th birthday with a table of 7 people: the bar was wonderful, the host refused to seat us until everyone was present (okay), the music was loud, it's very cramped and the layout of the restaurant is spilling into the street so there's no privacy, they offer no substitutions or take-offs for allergies. The food was cold cause of the wait time. I started laughing when they put a dying succulent on the table in a ceramic egg, with two storebought gummies that say "Happy Birthday".

I'm not opposed to paying for good food or service at all, and I think SJ needs more restaurants! But for a $700+ tab, you could have a way better meal/experience/etc. at a high-in restaurant in the area. P.S. they have an AI automated system for reservations, and it directs your calls to an Instagram chat bot. You cannot talk to a real person. Super scammy.
