Late night at Employees Only and it delivered 🔥 Perfect date-night vibe—dim lights, great music, and top-tier service even at 11pm. Crispy chicken schnitzel was flavorful with a solid crunch, and the aji verde + pickled fennel combo set it off. Double wagyu burger? Rich, juicy, and easily the star. Pro tip: scan the QR code—they take InKind 👀 Makes it super easy to pay, you earn cashback every time, and there’s usually a $25 off $50 deal when you sign up. Great food, great vibe, great service. Easy yes.
Amazing cocktails, average food. Both drinks I ordered — “Kiss Me Here, Touch Me There” and “Nuthin’ But a “Grape” Thang” — were excellent. The first was like a classic Negroni with a twist, and the second was refreshing with a nice grape foam on top that added texture. The food was just okay. The menu is a fusion of different cuisines. The pasta didn’t taste freshly made.
Luis is the best ever. I mentioned that it’s my bestie’s birthday once, and he brought our a tiramisu and a shot for her unprompted. Not only that, all of his cocktails were A+++++++. You can tell him what you like and he will surprise you with the absolute best every time. The music here is the absolute best for a 90’s baby as well!
Employees Only is such a cute date night spot! The vibe is intimate, cozy, romantic perfect for a night out. It’s small and cozy, so definitely make a reservation. If you don’t grab a table or a seat at the bar, there really isn’t much space to hang out while you wait. We had the Violet and the Soda Pop Sour — soooo good! Both were flavorful and perfectly balanced. We also tried the Hibiscus Rising, which was very tart and a little too citrus-forward for our taste, but still beautifully made. The meatballs were delicious and the sauce was sooo good. Overall, such a fun, charming spot with great energy. Perfect for date night — we’ll definitely be back! 🍸✨
Went to a girls night on a Friday and the food and drinks do not disappoint! They have an amazing selection of cocktails, apps, main dishes. A lot of veggi friendly ones too! The food come out fast and like I said was super filling! Parking is a bit tricky in this area I would say Uber or give yourself time to park and walk to the Restaurant. Staff were super attentive and always ready to take away finished plates, refill water, etc. I do agree with other peoples comments that it felt that some waiters wanted to rush the order. Not terrible maybe it was the first day for them but it was a bit comedic how they would constantly check in. I made a reservation so I don't know what the wait is like if you're walking up, but it felt for a Friday night they could possibly accommodate. The only thing that I found frustrating and this is because I'm older is that the music was a bit too loud. I don't love yelling at people when I'm trying to talk. That's just a me thing though. Loved the place, will be back most likely!
