If you want a venue that has a great vide and staff to match, you won't be disappointed with Seamstress. Super friendly, fabulous food, and delicious drinks, I will definitely recommend again and again.
Only the stairs to the cocktail bar. I found them okay, but know that others did find them difficult, and even put off some of our guests from attending.
