a dinner to remember đŸ«¶đŸ» came here in july for a birthday celebration double date and we had a blast!! the service was amazing, we had a female server who was extremely attentive and friendly so i’m surprised to see the bad reviews. the place has an intimate and dimly lit vibe with relaxing music but it was a bit loud! however the food swindled us off our feet đŸ’ƒđŸ» we got an array of food and every dish was cooked, seasoned and made perfectly! the stand outs were the corn ribs, the steak, burrata and the duck. 🩆 all the sauce pairings complimented the flavours of the proteins deliciously. with a perfect balance of umami, sweet and savoury. the burrata had an interesting yet delicate spin. it was a foodie dream. 🌕 and of course, we had a couple cocktails. they were yummy especially the espresso martini 🍾 however we felt that they were a bit overpriced. thank you for the birthday wishes for my friend and embarrassing him with the birthday song!! đŸ€Ł we loved our experience and hope we don’t miss the burlesque next time 😇

I recently visited Employees Only and I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the vibrant atmosphere and top-notch service. The interior is stylish and modern, with a perfect mix of lights, sleek dĂ©cor, and cozy corners for those who want to relax away from the dance floor. The music was incredible the DJ really knew how to keep the crowd energized, and the sound system was crystal clear, making every beat feel alive. Whether you’re into house, hip-hop, or electronic, there’s something for everyone here. The energy on the dance floor was contagious, and the vibe was all about having a great time. One of the standout features was the staff. The bartenders were friendly and quick, making sure I never waited too long for a drink. Overall, EO has everything you need for an epic night out—amazing music, great drinks, great food and an electric atmosphere. Whether you’re looking to dance the night away or just enjoy good company, this place is definitely worth checking out. I can’t wait to go back!

The food was exceptional—every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed. I would come back in a heartbeat! Whether you’re looking for a fun night out with friends, a casual dinner, or just a great spot to unwind, this is the perfect place. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in the city!

Feb 2025: Great time to be had. Rollicking music, great ambience, friendly staff and good drinks. Food was surprisingly excellent for a place I think of more as a bar / semi dance floor. Worthy of the name from its global siblings.

10/10 cocktails! The place was hard to find though, we initially walked past it several times because all it had at the entrance was a sign that said “Psychic” 😅 Ambience was nice but music was very loud, it was hard to talk (had to shout when conversing the entire time).
