Gin Lane has a great menu and great service. The only bad thing was the noise level. It is very popular and busy so there's a lot of noise because of that. Add the DJ outside the venue and it becomes unbearable. They should skip the DJ. Thankfully the waitress did move us inside when we asked for a quieter apot so that was great. Inside was nice because there was less people there. The cocktails were the yummiest I have had in a long time. My fave was the Lady Marmalade. I will return.
